Hard not to notice that Democrats who are doing the best are the ones who are leaving this whole civility-and-norms, we-go-high, we-need-a-strong-Republican-Party bullshit behind and are simply giving Republicans exactly what they all ought to get at all times, which is undisguised contempt.

Getting fact checked by Laura Ingraham would be the end of me showing my face in public ever again

In Massachusetts, we have a responsibility to protect the vulnerable and stand up for those who need it. We don’t throw trans kids under the bus for political points. We protect them—and all of our neighbors—because trans rights are human rights.

Still cracking up over the idea of a movie asking "What if Scrooge had a point," because A) he didn't and B) it's not as if we haven't already had the entire run of DuckTales to explore this question

Here's the official announcement of Parton's passing from her reps, along with the request that in lieu of flowers, the family asks for donations to be made to Dolly Parton’s Imagination Library at www.imaginationlibrary.com

Dolly Parton, among a thousand other amazing things she did in her life, gifted over 330 million books to kids through her Imagination Library program. Her passing is a tremendous loss to the world, but you can support the program today to keep it going imaginationlibrary.com

there's a level of urgency suggested by the stern informality of that handshake. like Ford is meeting the local official who's been heading up the response to the hostage crisis he's been called in to resolve

Is any high-profile media outlet going to run a story contrasting how Platner was treated by the Democratic Party (run out on rails) with how Max Miller is being treated by the GOP (protected, supported) and drawing the obvious conclusions?

Many people will call me a beta cuck for this, and those people will be right. But nevertheless, I persist

Personally I would love to see Bluesky expand. It shouldn’t just be the app for leftists who can’t stand Matt Yglesias! It should also be the app for liberals who can’t stand Matt Yglesias. And apolitical folks who can’t stand Yglesias. And, yes, even conservatives who can’t stand Matt Yglesias!

Hurling F-bombs at an 85-year-old scientist who won’t fight back doesn’t make you tough. Staying silent after your own daughter accused Rep. Max Miller of holding a gun to her head, pushing her against a wall, and fracturing your granddaughter’s collarbone makes you a coward.

interesting to me that as the administration treats democratic-voting states like conquered or occupied territories, you don’t have pundits demanding the president respect “half the country”

NEW: In a stunning admission, the Trump administration admitted in court documents that it canceled billions in energy grants to states "based solely" on politics -- and whether that state was represented by Democrats and backed Harris in 2024. www.nytimes.com/2026/07/24/b...

Well, I'm sure this Todd Blanche fellow, who was literally referred yesterday to his state bar for ethical violations by a federal judge wouldn't lie to a Senator, now would he?

Kate Riga@kateriga.bsky.social

Durbin came to talk to us after meeting w Todd Blanche - said Blanche said "I made a mistake" about the weaponization fund. Durbin asked for assurances that the admin won't interfere in the midterms — says Blanche said "we won't." Also seemed pretty sure that there aren't many swayable Republicans

No statement from Mitch McConnell on the sudden passing of his senate colleague? So much for decorum
