Last night was the 250th anniversary of Paul Revere's midnight ride to warn the Minutemen of approaching British troops.

I want to take a moment to share an excerpt from the Declaration of Independence's grievances against King George III.

Remind you of anyone?

I will say this - EVERYONE with power seems to be desperately hoping that unpopularity does the work that consequences need to do

It’s worth noting that the president of the United States today made more racist comments than we’ve seen any president make publicly in, what, a century? More publicly racist comments than many presidents who were, with history’s eye, virulently racist humans, but ones who at least knew their role.

Another angle.

I don't know how you can deny it.

But trust me, anyone whitewashing this perfectly know what it was.

They are just topping each other with the suck uppery. Congress passed a law that was started with Donald Trump. Now he’s going to “save” it.

NEW: My staff just got ahold of this memo from House Budget Committee Republicans. It's lengthy and hard to digest but it tells us exactly how Republicans plan to sell out the American people for another round of tax cuts to the rich. We're breaking down the highlights as we go:

I'm glad people are saying it and here's @michaelharriot.bsky.social with all the receipts: it all leads back to Joe Rogan.

Also, people aren't making the connection to Texas, which is now the new hub of the MAGA broligarchy and disinformation HQ.

A quick note: It is my view that the term “First Felon” should be capitalized both out of respect and because it refers to a very specific individual.
New pod with @gtconway.bsky.social is up. We discuss our first felon president and more.

President-elect Musk ordered Congress to handle government funding negotiations differently. Trump, after a late start, wound up agreeing with him.

I would not put Donald Trump, Elon Musk, and Robert F. Kennedy Jr. in charge of so much as an ant farm.

It will never stop being utterly insane to me that Trump fans rioted, shat in the Capitol, smashed windows, battered police and terrorized people nationwide when he was fired by 80 million voters for condemning 1 million to die of COVID then 73 million rehired him and they demand we "come together."

Let’s talk about the politics of the Hegseth and Gaetz nominations. Trump is asking a lot of vulnerable Senate Republicans like Tillis and Collins to vote for these horrible abusers. He’s acting like he has a mandate and a big Senate majority when he simply doesn’t. Wasting political capital.
