Booker: Do you think we got the right to vote for women because a bunch of men on the House floor got together and said “on the count of three, women get the right to vote..” That’s not how it happened… Change doesn’t come from Washington. It comes to Washington.

“Those nasty Canadians are ripping us off and are controlled by Mexican cartels. They’re poisoning us with fentanyl and need to become the 51st state or they will pay a high price” is a belief that literally ZERO Americans had six weeks ago. It’s entirely invented from scratch.

Received a letter from POTUS today purporting to remove me as Commissioner and Chair of the FEC. There's a legal way to replace FEC commissioners-this isn't it. I've been so fortunate to serve the American people and stir up some good trouble along the way. That's not changing anytime soon.

Lots of people are about to be really mad that price of eggs goes up but they can’t get a 2nd job because they can’t afford childcare and when they do finally get the eggs they get E Coli because there’s no FDA but can’t go to the doctor because they got kicked off their health plan. #FAFO

Lots of stories about how mass deportations will spike food prices and cause inflation. But as Tom Bonier noted, only one published before Election Day...

We need some Elon Musk whistleblowers.

People who worked with him throughout 2024 and know the creepy, corrupt, possibly criminal stuff he did behind the scenes at Twitter—whether in working with the Trump campaign, reaching out to mega-donors, creating PACs and illegal lotteries, or anything else.

Imagine taunting the democratically elected president of a nation that has been brutally invaded by Russia, which has bombed civilian sites killing thousands, occupied territory, and kidnapped children. Elon Musk, have you no decency?

Eight years.

Zero scandals.
Zero investigations.
Zero impeachment hearings.
Zero indictments.
Zero charges.
Zero drama.

Just class and grace personified.

Real journalism has standards.
Seek it out and subscribe.
Good time to remind people what a journalist is/isn't. A journalist:
- has to do reporting of some kind (data, archival, source-based)
- has to fact-check that reporting
- is held to a higher legal standard than op-eds, essayists, commentators (generally can't share an opinion w/o documentation)
Made my first starter pack! These are the climate journalists I know and love and highly recommend following on BlueSky so far. Please tell me who I'm missing (and apologies in advance if I've missed you, I swear it's not intentional!)

Indeed. When they rounded up the Japanese Americans, myself and my family included, for internment during WWII out of fear over Japanese spies and saboteurs, two thirds of us were U.S. citizens.

Don’t think it won’t happen again when they come for the “undocumented.”

What disappoints me most about his supporters is that their entire platform is about HURTING others.

Taking away rights.

Taking away benefits.

Taking away a path to citizenship.

It’s a platform based on cruelty.

They hate their lives and prefer if everyone suffered rather than solving it.

Sad.
