Please watch this.

The Senate killed a bill to ban state regulation of AI by a vote of 99-1 this spring. Now the industry - eager to stay unregulated - and Trump are scheming to shove the provision in the national defense bill.

You need to know this, so you can help stop it.

Trump is filling his government with Nazis, consolidating authoritarian power, and eroding democracy at every chance.

And yet these 86 House Democrats voted for a right-wing messaging amendment to say that the real authoritarians are the socialists.

Pathetic.

I’m still struggling with the fact that ICE “brown shirts” went to a taco shop and thought they would get served.

These people always pitch themselves as savvy Real America Whisperers but constantly talking about how Republicans are right and Democrats are annoying is abysmal electoral strategy.

Today is a good day to remember, and to say, that the #MeToo movement was right, and was righteous, and has been vindicated over and over again. There was no overreach. There was no excess. There was no they-went-too-far.

So much work remains to be done.

This deal to reopen the government is fucking disgraceful.

Tens of millions will lose their healthcare. Trump will be emboldened.

This is exactly what’s wrong with Democratic Party leadership and why we need more people in Congress who will actually hold the line.

Absolutely correct
American politics makes a lot more sense when you realize that the GOP is afraid of pissing off the GOP base, and the Dems are afraid of pissing off the GOP base, but neither party is afraid of pissing off the Dem base.

🚨 We’re hearing that Senate Democrats are on the verge of caving to Trump in another “Schumer Surrender.”

That means your Democratic senators need to hear from you right now.

Douthat is a slimy creep, particularly on the subject of women, as he’s shown for a long time now. NYT editors are showing their asses when they publish and promote his “just asking questions” retrograde misogyny year after year.

I created an Email List that’s gathering 10k people who pledge to give just $1 to people struggling in the Black Community. When the list grew to 2k I tested it with a Black Woman who lost her job & struggled w/ past due bills; I sent out 1 email, & with their $1 they quickly raised her $950 goal.
