Whenever politics comes up with friends and people I know and they feel me out for my political affiliation, here is how I answer: I am an American who believes in the Constitution, democracy, and the rule of law. And I stand on the side of NO KINGS.

Love them and what they’re doing so much!

Utah!! "The arena has a roughly 15,000-seat capacity, according to the university. An estimated 1,000 more packed the arena floor, and about 4,000 crowded outside the arena..." utahnewsdispatch.com/2025/04/13/b...

This is what one Trump supporter said on a FB post: “He's the best thing to happen to America in a long time! After the last four years of a president that can't complete a full sentence and a political party hell bent on ruining our country I thank God everyday for Trump!”

Love this!

All I can do is fight everyday to protect our constitution. I took an oath. I will honor my oath as an attorney. My profession and my country has given me a blessed life and I will be forever grateful. As I long as I have my speech and my bar license I have power.

This’ll be interesting…

I know people will take advantage of the Q&A to mock him, I’d recommend getting creative at the book signing. They’re at the end of the event; the author is a little tired and off guard. “And who should I make this out to?” “Go fuck yourself. G-O F-U-C-…”

In response to what Schumer is saying on TV: A: The government is ALREADY SHUT DOWN. They’ve been shutting it down since Jan 20, for black people. Perhaps Chuck could acknowledge that?? B: They already have the reins of power. Chuck wants it open so he can continue playing pretend!

Shut it down! Screw Schumer!

No Dem Senator has to follow Schumer here. This is a weak stategic move driven by fear and learned helplessness. Don't follow him. He's leading the party into irrelevance and helping Trump and Musk in the process. Call your Dem Senators and ask them not to join Schumer's surrender tomorrow.

Amen!

I rarely say this, but if your Senate Democrat isn't doing what Chris Coons is doing, you should be calling them and asking why the hell not. It's not enough to EVENTUALLY oppose this bill - we need Senate Dems out there publicly rallying the troops RIGHT NOW.

Per @juliadavisnews.bsky.social: “Trump’s decision to suspend the flow of military intelligence to Ukraine this week has aided the Russian advance along a critical part of the front. “As a result of this pause, there are hundreds of dead Ukrainians.”

Or maybe they should attend and call him out on all the bullshit!

Democrats should boycott the State of the Union. Democrats keep calling this man a unique and dangerous threat, but never ACT like it. For once, Democrats' *actions* should match their words. My latest in @thenation.com www.thenation.com/article/poli...

Thank you Ms Cheney for your truth.

Liz Cheney@lizcheney.bsky.social

Here is some truth: Putin invaded Ukraine. NATO is the most successful military alliance in history. Since 1945, American leadership has ensured freedom and security for ourselves and millions of others around the world.

Took the thought right out of my head..

So if Zelenskyy had just emblazoned “tech support” on his black shirt and donned a MAGA hat, would that have been up to standard under White House dress code? (nyt photo)

I’m listening to the audio version, read by @barbmcquade.bsky.social on my morning walks. It’s brilliant and timely. Fits the situation we’re still in today, perfectly.

My book was published one year ago today. I am sad to see that its message is more relevant than ever. If you want to understand the disinformation tactics authoritarians use to seize power, I hope you’ll check it out.

Maybe we should return to the old days and have them square off in a gun fight?

Dear MAGA: So Governor Greg Abbott has the exclusive power to control my uterus in Texas but Kathy Hochul has no power to control the traffic patterns of New Yorkers. I’m confused. Sincerely, Sara

Started watching Joy Reid’s msnbc time slot with Michael Steele. Just not the same force of delivery or storytelling. Wonder what they were thinking. He’s good, but he’s not Joy Reid.

Colorado's Rep Brittany Pettersen (D) flew cross-country with her one-month-old to vote against the GOP budget tonight. Dems ended up one vote short. Pettersen was part of an unsuccessful bipartisan push to allow new mothers to vote remotely. #copolitics

On engaging with likely Trump supporters/Republicans. Today I questioned a person with an Air Force hat. What do you think of the CQ Brown firing? That was bad, he said. I agree, I replied. Who was more qualified than he? No one, he replied. I agree with you on that, I said. And left it at…

that, for now. I feel like this is about finding common ground and sowing doubt. And with that just get the convo started. You don’t/shouldn’t press. But let them know what you believe/think. Leave room open for another discussion.

I hope it is well with his soul. I respect his journalism.
