Pixies hide things from me, dust bunnies gang up on me, and yet I manage. 2 dogs, an old car and all original parts.

James Talarico: False claims got millions of views — and this is an example of what I call the ‘rage economy.’ Billionaires who own these platforms get rich, we get angry, and nobody’s life gets better. Conspiracy theories don’t put food on the table, put gas in the tank, or improve our communities.

Read about the trees cut down in DC? Beautiful big trees on a public park / golf course! The judge is mad but trees were cut anyway… speak up!!

…. And insults disabled, and hires felons & finds humor in tragedy (Tiger kills man… )

Arrête Mark Carney ⚜️@lalegault.bsky.social

What could possibly go wrong when the most influential woman in the world shows 400 million young fans that she will stay with a man who associates with men who called women whores & joked about decapitating her? During a misogyny crisis & affordability crisis! It’s a trap.

Really love this….

This piece of shit needs to be charged with assault and lose his jobs...and that goes for his candy ass women beating friends who were complicit. MAGA and Trump are not only a disgrace they're Un-American. USA my ass.

Seems we have much to appreciate in actions by the Scandinavian countries these days…

How the rural folks don’t see this confuses me…. And I refuse to call them (or believe that) “rural” = ignorant… that’s not true!

🔥 Country Singer @bryanandrewsmusic.bsky.social : “Everyone asks how I became so far left in such a rural area… they’re confused when I say it’s BECAUSE I grew up in a rural area. Who do you think Trump’s war is hurting? Not city guys driving Teslas — It’s the Iowa farmers 🧑‍🌾 using diesel.”

Reach everyone you know …. Thank you Mark

Best way to describe it: Pam Bondi was a step down from former Attorneys General, but Todd Blanche is a fall down a flight of stairs.

This matters

Kentucky Gov. Andy Beshear has the constitutional authority to temporarily appoint someone to fill Mitch McConnell’s seat. If GOP lawmakers want to challenge that, they can do so. This will be the first big test to see whether Beshear really is presidential material. I hope he passes the test.

Chris Murphy@chrismurphyct.bsky.social

The heart of our constitutional crisis in one exchange between me and Sec. Mullin. When asked a simple question - if he will obey court orders - he says he will not because some court orders are "politicized". That's not how democracy works. And that's why we are in a crisis.

ABC and CBS paid Trump. NBC gave to his ballroom. Scott Pelley took a stand and was fired. CNN is next. When Trump sued me, I fought and won. It is that spirit I brought to Democracy Docket. Fearlessly independent, always pro-democracy. Help it grow by subscribing now. bit.ly/4qmEiFz

Democrats just got a major boost in Iowa. Rob Sand has officially locked down the Democratic nomination for governor, and the latest Polymarket Prediction chart suggests Iowa may be ready to elect its first Democratic governor since 2011. Do you believe we can flip Iowa, or is this a mirage?

I am not at a campaign party. I’m watching our horrible city council debate a strip club’s liquor license for an hour and a half because they still need to get to the housing element part of the agenda, and my opponent bailed out right after I gave public comment.

What's happening to CBS News is what the tech oligarchs call "parallel" strategy. Buy an existing institution, gut it, and convert it into a right-wing zombie version of itself. They are doing this to media, government, education, biotech, defense tech, etc. Some call it the "Network State."

My friend died of cancer. I told him I would take his dog after he died. This is Pepper. She gets along with my two dogs and two cats. She is family now.

The only thing more satisfying than the removal of his name from the Kennedy Center is the unwell Orange Man-Baby's entirely predictable, seething, unhinged, self-pitying, incoherent, raging, angry, vengeful meltdown reacting to the news. Someone call a wahh-mbulance! And how is your weekend going?

i’m so old i remember when obama called out SCOTUS for citizens united during a SOTU, predicting this would happen, and alito shook his head and said “that’s not true”

This man needs more attention. He’s talking like someone ready to run the state. Focused on actual solutions for California while the federal government fumbled the basics. Pay attention to Xavier Becerra.

Alfred Street Baptist Church pledged to donate about $1 million to clear rent debts for Alexandria public housing residents. Officials have praised the donation, saying it will help give residents stability. But the city is facing an early hurdle. https://wapo.st/4sTK1EO

CO AG Weiser: The president, in a Truth Social post, said, “This merger between Nexstar and Tegna should be approved, period.” The DOJ ignored its established standards. They didn’t explain why—they just waved this right through. We’re going to be before a judge asking for a preliminary injunction

White House: the witness’s allegations are “completely baseless” and “backed by zero credible evidence.” Fact: FBI found her credible enough to interview repeatedly, and she received a financial settlement from the Epstein estate.
