Yikes! Always something… We better wake up to what’s happening online. The right isn’t just posting anymore; they’re scaling influence with AI. 📌 AI-generated pro-Trump “influencers” are surging on social media and are starting to shape what people see and believe.

Not feeling good about giving my hard earned money to the oligarchs, to fund illegal & unnecessary "wars,"or fund any of this admin's crooked schemes. Not at all 'good.'

Whew! Hillary Clinton this morning on the US-Iran talks that fell apart: “This is hard, disciplined effort that has to go into diplomacy to reach any results. And I don’t see this administration either wanting to do it or, frankly, being capable of doing it…”

The end of Viktor Orbán’s autocratic regime is a victory not just for Hungary, but for people who value democracy around the world. Congratulations to Tisza, to incoming leader Péter Magyar, and to Hungarians everywhere.

If I lived in Lebanon, this would make me very nervous. Netanyahu has a clear incentive to provoke Iran to pull out of the ceasefire by attacking Lebanon again. Netanyahu always prioritizes himself over the lives of innocent civilians.

Kerry: I was part of the any number of conversations with Netanyahu. Psaki: Pitching the US strike Iran? Kerry: Yes, he wanted us to strike. He came to President Obama. He made a presentation to ask to strike. President Obama refused. President Biden refused. President Bush refused.

I'm updating the famous Chinese curse "May you live in interesting times" to "May you live in incompetent times" to be more relevant to those of us living in the United States right now.

I am leaving the Washington Post to join a new journalistic venture backed by Politico founder Robert Allbritton that will be both the hometown publication the D.C. region sorely needs and a scrappy and fearless national news organization. I hope you'll join us.

We had this kid in Junior High who - if he asked a girl to dance and she said no - he’d insist he didn’t really wanna dance with her and was just checking to see if she was a jerk.

This is getting genuinely pathetic

JFC! The right already stripped abortion rights from millions of women. Contraception is next. Project 2025 made the agenda clear. This was never about saving babies. It’s about control, pushing women back into submission and forcing more births. 1/2

The is the federal government telling news stations to provide favorable coverage of the war or their licenses will be pulled. A truly extraordinary moment. We aren't on the verge of a totalitarian takeover. WE ARE IN THE MIDDLE OF IT. Act like it.

The SAVE America Act is a voter suppression scam. It would take away the rights of working people to make their voices heard at the ballot box. The Senate must reject this bill.

I keep thinking that if Donald Trump had gone to prison for January 6, as he should have, all those Iranian schoolgirls would be having dinner with their families this evening.

I support Eric Swalwell for California governor because he fights for justice & decency! I trust him! See my comments about how it's not the case for one of his adversaries below. ⬇️

#ResistanceUnited #ProudBlue #ONEV1 #DV1 Since Rep. @ericswalwell.bsky.social is running for governor, one reply on X calls this “performative empathy.” Even so, isn’t it far better than the “performative cruelty” of the ICE mean boys? He & his staff delivered for the boy. THANK YOU, period.

When you think about it for more than 5 seconds, it really is both insane and outrageous that *HILLARY CLINTON* - a woman who apparently has never met with nor corresponded with Jeffrey Epstein was one of the first people deposed.

I'm begging my fellow politicians, Illinoisans, and Americans to realize that right now, we aren't fighting over policy or political party. We're fighting over whether we're going to be a country rooted in empathy and kindness — or one rooted in cruelty and rage.
