If you’re a journalist who’s still on Twitter, from now on in your writing you have to replace “the American people want” with “troll bots in Eastern Europe demand”
Being there makes your judgment suspect. I don’t care how savvy you think you are, you’re marinating in a disinformation campaign.

Call your senators anyway.
Regular reminder that Axios stories saying Dems are about to cave are likely sourced from GOP staffers trying to make it happen.
Doesn't mean it definitely won't happen. But it's like those NYT stories that Harvard is considering caving (they haven't). The anonymous source was trying to manifest it.

That's what I'd say if you asked me.
Every disaffected Dem & swing focus group we do begins with people asking what's real. They hear, at times, this is authoritarian takeover threatening lives & livelihoods. But perceive most "leaders" not acting as if this were so.

One source witnessed an FBI analyst have a breakdown while viewing the Epstein files. The analyst has kids the same age as the girls in the videos they were reviewing. I’ll cover this and more today at 3:30 PT / 6:30 PM ET here: youtube.com/live/hEi77Ib...

Newsom: Anyone checked out my Patriot store? We do have some knee pads. It’s a signature series. They’re sold out at the moment. The universities, and all these law firms, and certain media organizations—I figured they can use these.

This nails it.
Right-wing media told Republicans that anti-trans politics would deliver a winning coalition.
2025 races show they misunderstood why the message ever worked.

I think a thing we'll learn tonight is that people fucking hate what is going on and they will straight ticket vote against anyone involved in starving people while pillaging the country and kidnapping their neighbors. I don't think it matters at all who that person is.

We're all going to write pieces about what you can learn from tonight but it's actually pretty simple: The frontier of the Rebellion is everywhere. And even the smallest act of insurrection pushes our lines forward.

I’ve been thinking a lot about a new kind of polling I’d like to see. We have polling that measures public opinion, which is obviously important, but I’d love to see a little more empirical work on public knowledge: what do voters know about politics and policy?

This video from Portland is a metaphor for what is going on in America. ICE trying so hard to get Americans to cross a line and if they don't, dragging them across the line and violently attacking.

The Corporate Power Reset That Makes Citizens United Irrelevant
By using their authority to define what corporations are—and what powers they hold—states can end the era of corporate and dark money in U.S. politics.

Next time you find yourself in a discussion about the differences between liberals, leftists, democratic socialists, moderates, progressives, and never trumpers, remember: billionaires don't give a fuck. We're all the same to them: human capitol stock. And they love it when we fight each other.

He totally named it. Also, does he not see the alternate meaning of "F-47"?
Trump to generals: "They said, 'we'd like to name it the F-47.' After thinking for about two seconds I said, 'Ok.' I'm 47. I'm 45, 46, and 47 if you think about it. I just don't want the credit for 46."
