I'm never entirely sure about what I can and cannot say in front of children. Fond of pie.
Chaotic good #Liberal / #Progressive. Is it enough to just say "Democrat" anymore? I don't think so.

Macaulay Skullkin and I both hope you had a great Thanksgiving. He's eagerly anticipating the Christmas season, as you can see.

I just don’t see how we can pretend even for a moment that anything involving our federal government is remotely normal when the president is covering up his involvement in a child sex trafficking ring. Like, what are we doing here

The average SNAP benefit per month is $177 a person.
The average ACA benefit per month is up to $550 a person.
People want us to hold the line for a reason. This is not a matter of appealing to a base. It’s about people’s lives.
And working people want leaders whose word means something to them.

The average US taxpayer spends $36 a year on SNAP
You know what they spend on corporate subsidies? $670
Poor and disabled people who need food are not the problem
If you’re angry about “your money” feeding people but not angry it’s giving tax cuts to the wealthy?
You’re doing their dirty work.

Democracy dies in silence.
…when people are too afraid or don’t care enough to speak up.
Not today.
MILLIONS of Americans and allies of freedom and democracy, here and around the world, are taking to the streets.
Showing their love of country and defiance of tyranny.
It’s a beautiful sight.

It's been two weeks since Adelita Grijalva was elected and Mike Johnson has still refused to seat her, unlike in past cases where he swore in new members within 24 hours.
There cannot be one set of rules for Rs and another for Ds.
Also, release the damn Epstein files already.

Gupta: It is safe. That’s what the best-quality research shows. And how irresponsible, using the podium of the WH to put this out there when you’re not even offering an alternative. That is dangerous. An untreated fever is dangerous. Untreated pain in pregnancy is dangerous.
