Let's try this again 👋 Hi Bluesky - I'm Massachusetts' Attorney General. You might know me from suing President Trump nearly 50 times, beating Uber and Lyft in court, or being the first woman of color elected to statewide office in MA. I officially left X today - help me find my MA people?

Can't believe I finally got it right. Taking a hint from a friend, I got Muppet a heated cat bed, and she's actually using it! The afghan is mine, so that it "smells righ5."

That's good to know! I hope more people in Illinois see your post and speak up themselves with their own knowledge here. Here in NJ we also have state elected who are far more interested in keeping their heads down than doing the work. That needs to change. Our lives depend on it.

Krishnamoorthi has accepted more than $90,000 in contributions from Trump and MAGA donors, like Palantir. He also voted for House Resolution 488, which was to condemn the antisemitic attacks in Boulder but I included a section thanking ICE officers for their service.

People not in Minnesota: please read this excellent summary of what life is like in Minneapolis since the murderous scum ICE swarmed here. And more are on their way. By local reporter / writer / bike dude / legend @dbrauer.net .

Just woke up even angrier. Impeach, convict, remove. Draft articles now. Either we have a representative government or we don’t. Do not shut up about this until there’s a vote.

Why does everyone keep calling it “The Epstein Ballroom?” Please stop repeating “The Epstein Ballroom” because it is not called “The Epstein Ballroom!” Don’t tell the news that it’s called “The Epstein Ballroom” and please don’t repost this!!!!!

My book acquisitions this week include nonfiction: one book about how mountains come to be (plate tectonics), and a second book about life in Anglo-Saxon England. That's all the news from Casa Chaos today.

Trump hates to be the object of humor. He understands that humor can be a more powerful antidote to tyranny than any other form of criticism. I'm sure he'd hate it if you shared this cartoon. [Cartoon by Jon Adams/The New Yorker]

Banks could step up, offer seniors a free, no-minimum balance checking account to prevent their SS payment cards from being stolen from the mailbox. A small, low-cost public service they could offer, to serve the vulnerable among us. They won't.

"No matter where I lived, I knew this was guaranteed because after moving into a new place, we’d plug in our old box television, adjust the shitty little antenna just so, and voila, like magic, there was PBS. It was free."

I rarely post personal things. But I need to talk about my 4-year-old niece, Hope. She has a rare disease. A drug called elamipretide has helped her survive. But the FDA recently denied its approval. Now, her health hangs in the balance. Please share her story & urge the FDA to reconsider. 🧵
