I’ll say this and then I’m gonna step back b/c 2026 IS THE ONLY NATIONAL ELECTION THAT’S IMPORTANT NOW.
No Dem presidential candidate wins w/o high Black turnout & vote.
So stop making it like Black voters are expendable or that you can serve up any candidate chosen by Pelosi, Clooney or MSM & win.

It's weird how everyone in the world knows a Nazi salute when we see it, with the notable exception of journalists and their editors.

When men are unhappy with love, sex, or gender relations it is a social crisis that calls out for immediate diagnosis and remedy. When women are unhappy with love, sex, or gender relations it is because feminism has made them dumb.
Love the emerging critical consensus that women’s divorce books are proliferating and selling well not because there is a flaw in marriage that does women a disservice, but because women writers are narcissistic and stupid.

No Budget Deal Dems, Until The Criming Stops #ABlueView🧵1/3

Tell your Reps:
There "should be no help on the budget or the debt ceiling until the lawbreaking stops. Period. End of story. No wilding gangs marauding through the federal government. End the criminal conduct. Period"

SCOOP: The US Treasury claimed a DOGE's Marco Elez didn’t have ‘write access,’ when he actually did. Sources tell WIRED that his ability to alter code controlling trillions in federal spending was rescinded, days after officials said it didn't exist.

(1,2) The Democrats need to reorganize today. Forget House and Senate, become the Party for America and choose the best Democrat for different roles. Choose a Press Secretary first. Choose someone to lead each department being dismantled who can explain the impact to Americans.

Pete Hegseth isn’t DEI. Daniel Penny isn’t DEI. That’s not what DEI is.

They’re just grossly unqualified for their jobs and add no value that any replacement legacy job applicant wouldn’t bring.

So stop saying “it’s DEI” like it’s a clever commentary on the situation. It’s not.

The tariff tif is a cover for the treasury takeover and the fbi (and other federal dept) purges. Noise to drown out what’s really happening.

if a major politician held an emergency rally about the current ongoing coup by the richest man in the world, I think people would go to it. Shit is well and truly fucked. I can think of a couple of people who should do that right now.

Today’s show was my last at CNN. My closing message: It’s never a good time to bow down to a tyrant… don’t give in to the lies. Don’t give in to fear. Hold on to the truth… and hope.

Would love to understand why every Democrat is not out there every second of the day explaining in plain English that Donald Trump has declared war on cancer patients.
From a source inside the National Cancer Institute:

“Everyone is scrambling to figure out how we’re supposed to work to serve the public when we can’t engage at all.”

Colombia: We're not taking shackled detainees returned on military flights. Transport them with dignity

Trump: Trade war!

Colombia: OK

Trump: Fine, no more shackled detainees returned on military flights

Colombia: Good. Was that so hard?

Trump: They gave in!

Basic stuff for how Flu’s tracked across the country. Team Flu and Respiratory Illness has infiltrated public health orgs!

Possibly also Team Polio.
New: Trump officials have paused all external communications at health agencies like CDC, FDA, NIH.

No health alerts and the famed MMWRs; no updates to key websites or social media posts.

And no indication how long the pause will last.

With @rachelroubein.bsky.social + Lena Sun.
Trump officials pause health agencies’ communications, citing review
The agencies are charged with making decisions that touch the lives of every American and are the source of crucial information to health-care providers.
