Once, when people capitulated to power, they did so as quietly as possible and then spoke of it as little as possible. Today, they tell themselves that they are making "great decisions" for the history books. Trumpism corrupts both its enthusiasts and its accommodators.
Sen. Bill Cassidy: "My voice cracked because…I would read history books and I would read about these great decisions on the Senate floor…The fact that I, Bill Cassidy, was able to do that, I am so privileged, and whenever I just for a second am hit by the gravity of that..I get emotional."

BREAKING: The judge in the $1.7B slush fund suit has dismissed the case, but she says THERE IS NO SETTLEMENT OF RECORD. As I said earlier, the media must stop reporting that this slush fund is a settlement. It's just plain THEFT. storage.courtlistener.com/recap/gov.us...

In Seattle: - People bike all the time. - We have a temperate climate. - Half the hills are downhill.
In Seattle it is: -Dark during commuting hours 1/3 of the year -Rainy 2/3 of the year -Hilly 100% of the time. Biking will NEVER be a substantial commuting solution. The amount of pandering to and resources wasted on a vocal, entitled minority is disgusting.

More than 400 people, including hundreds of citizens, were “sorted” at gun point into racial and ethnic groups by 200 ICE agents who fired flash-bang grenades into cars with people inside, pointed guns at children & demanded their zip tied parents not comfort them. apple.news/Ausdx6kWtT0e...

In December, I told you about how Trump’s Department of Education is stripping nurses of our professional status and making school more expensive. From now until March 2, we need you to raise your voice and submit a public comment: www.federalregister.gov/documents/20...
As the only Democratic nurse in Congress, I remember how expensive pursuing my degree was. And now, Trump’s Education Department is moving to make it even more expensive. Here’s how you can help.

Why is the "we must be united!" hectoring directed at people who are mad at the Cavers and not to the Cavers? Everyone who's mad was united, then the Cave Caucus walked across the aisle and betrayed what the public had been told was the Dem position.
The sooner we get past internal recriminations and back to fighting united, the better off we all are — the likelier our victory next November.

@profgalloway.com today thought spoke how a Muslim candidate couldn’t get your vote since he wasn’t kind enough to Israel. Yet spoke softly about the old handsy guy as if he might get your vote, because just a victim of Me 2. Just wonder if the guy who hates New York Muslims would get your vote?
So here's Andrew Cuomo reacting to Maria Bartiromo wondering if Mamdani will "change the look of New York" and have Muslim women "completely covered up," telling her that Mamdani "doesn't understand New York culture" because he has "dual citizenship" and "he's a citizen of Uganda."
