Pritzker: Time to stop wondering if you can trust the nuclear codes to people who don’t know how to organize a group chat. It’s time to stop ignoring the hypocrisy in wearing a big gold cross while announcing the defunding of children’s cancer research…

"The era of letting Republicans break all the rules, not follow any of the laws, run roughshod over the Democrats, while the Democrats continue to just try to protect every possible existing norm and institution, that era is over." Time for Chuck Schumer to get the memo. Tim Miller:

A YES on cloture is a YES for the bill. Do not let anyone play games with you.

Everyone needs to understand they are breaking everything that protects your privacy as much as anything else. Companies that have protected your privacy will gain increasing access to your info and communications. It would take very little time for this to be weaponized.

As someone who spends a lot time thinking about the values I want to teach my kid (besides PLEASE DON’T EAT DIRT), the thing I keep coming back to is this: I want him to believe that the strongest, bravest thing he can do is give a shit about other people—especially ones who aren’t like him at all.

We are experiencing an assault on science unparalleled by anything I’ve seen in my life. It’s not one issue or another anymore, the entire institution is under attack by the most powerful individuals in the country. This Friday, where will you be? standupforscience2025.org

Last night's Pentagon massacre is much more than realized. Not just firing the black CJCS and first woman CNO but all the senior JAG officers and hiring a man who just joined 3 different crypto firms tied to Kushner and Thiel as Chairman. I did a deep dive into it open.substack.com/pub/fpwellma...

Every day, the goals become clearer: The point of DOGE is not efficiency, but regime change www.theatlantic.com/ideas/archiv...

Found it. Stunning story. Pulled link for others who might be interested. At least the shrink involved lost his license! www.seattletimes.com/business/boe...

And I am an ally. If you are too, let the world know.

A farm worker shared this photo with us from an Arizona watermelon field . It's physically demanding work. The loader crew is responsible for picking pick up hundreds of watermelons and loading them into the trailer. #WeFeedYou

We should all be concerned about the case against Trevor Moses.

What could Jeffries and Schumer do? Call for a general strike. They don’t have a mandate unless you sit there and let them steamroll you. If you are too afraid to fight back literally you can fight back by withholding labor.

It’s hilarious how nearly every single crypto scam has obvious bro influencers finger prints on them. Their politics of anti regulation and anti government are highly tied to them being fucking scammers.

No, but if you’re looking for one, I am aware of a guy you work with that was indicted four times and convicted of thirty-four felonies.

If you’re wondering why I declined to talk to the NYTimes, then you haven’t been following my account for very long. They bear a direct responsibility for the current situation we find ourselves in, and I responded by laying out my position and that I would only talk to @jamellebouie.net

Just now picking up my daughter’s Claudia’s Corgi, Gracie, from her spaying procedure from Friendship Animal Hospital in northwest DC. It turns out they are doing something amazing for people victimized by the insane government purges 👉

Could someone place an order for 100 more Jasmine Crocketts for overnight delivery to the Democratic Party thx in advance

We were robbed. It still breaks my heart.

ATTN FEDERAL WORKERS: I’ll say this again: download all your SF-50s, performance evals, and your eOPF. Now. Print hard copies. And make sure you file an informal grievance with your supervisor within 15 days of any adverse action. Here is a template: www.muellershewrote.com/p/informal-g...

Where you at Dems ? You fighting to get them far better severance or going to ignore them, and all others in similar circumstances?

An amazing resignation letter to Bove from an AUSA who worked on the Adams case. Money quote: “I expect you will eventually find someone who is enough of a fool, or enough of a coward, to file your motion. But it was never going to be me.”

“I expect you will eventually find someone who is enough of a fool, or enough of a coward, to file your motion. But it was never going to be me.”

I hope their constituents get their revenge when this is over. www.theguardian.com/us-news/2025...

The thing I don’t understand is who these large tech companies are firing such large highly skilled devs and product managers and they seek to have forgot how to create new companies. You don’t need to stay in high cost cities. You can rebel by competing. Make them regret letting you go.

Our government is being dismantled in a fast-moving coup because a bunch of ostensible adults are afraid of mean tweets from a spent 78 year old skin bag who wears Oompa Loompa makeup.

JD Vance - If you believe any of the multiple federal courts that have ruled against you so far are exceeding their statutory or Constitutional authority, your recourse is to appeal. You don’t get to rage-quit the Republic just because you are losing. That’s tyranny.

The leadership we have refuses to accept or understand that they don’t care what’s legal or moral. They will break everything because once broken you have real abikity yo stop them, Assume the worst and plan for it. Don’t abandon the system but realize they did and the courts have no real power.
