Final observations re tonight’s Dem 3rd CD panel. Cooke still poses as a waitress—no reference to her Dem fundraising past. Berge made subtle digs at the national Dems’ backing of Cooke. Berge’s strength is being OUR choice. Berge & Rave are genuine. Who is Cooke really? #Wis3rdCD

Cooke using some of her time to criticize DVO. Berge showing her knowledge of the issues. Rave’s responses are good hearted and vague. #Wis3rdCD

Berge: people power will get rid of DVO. My campaign is grassroots. Some people are just getting activated. Berge: DVO is a bully. More people see through him. We all need to pull together. Rave: I’ve been going to GOP meetings and they’re saying they don’t like DVO. #Wis3rdCD

Rave: get corporate money out of politics. Berge: national parties propping up only top fundraising candidates. Regular people like me need to be able to run. Cooke: criticizes DVO. I’m not beholden to corporations. #Wis3rdCD

Cooke: need local control over AI data centers. Rave: they need to be regulated. Berge: Wisconsin is actually incentivizing AI data centers. AI tech bosses need to be kept out of politics. #Wis3rdCD

Berge: We need Medicare for all. Cooke: will work to increase reimbursement rates, expand Medicare, support a public option. #Wis3rdCD

Cooke: need pathway to citizenship for immigrant workers. Rave: being brown I carry my passport. Need immigration reform. Native Americans have been dealing with immigrants for a long time. Berge: ICE has been terrorizing people. #Wis3rdCD

Berge: farmers are forced to go big or die. Enforce laws against CAFO pollution. Cooke: manure management will always be an issue. Rave: pollution needs to be handled by farmers. #Wis3rdCD

For some reason, I’m touched by the eels’ lives as portrayed here.

A great post that details the lifecycle of the European Eel. An interesting read for anyone interested in the natural world

A 15 min. drive home with NPR: funding ended for LBGTQ+ help lines; Bhutan won’t let in deported Bhutanese man, who’s living homeless in India; looks like approved public broadcasting $$ will be snatched back. Argh.

This is wonderful.

Please enjoy these shelter pups reacting to getting a kiss. Some are bashful, some have butterflies, and all deserve approximately 10 million more. 14/10 for all

A sentence Tapper never thought he’d ask. I admire his being able to do so without laughing.

TAPPER: You're imposing a 10% on the Heard and MccDonald islands. They have zero human inhabitants. Why are you putting tariffs on islands entirely populated by penguins? ROLLINS: Whatever. Listen, the people leading this are serious, intentional, patriotic, the smartest I've ever worked with.

Thanks @jamellebouie.net for saying this about RFK’s weird kid so I didn’t have to.

i get that he is powerful and yet i do not understand what people find attractive about this guy, who looks like what happen if you could somehow pump a california raisin with HGH

I’m currently assessing which local bridge to live under.

So cavalier about "short term pain" that he won't be feeling. FUCK YOU. If you destroy my SS, I will be homeless and starving.

🧵"So this is how liberty dies..." Trump’s first 3 weeks have been a relentless flood of actions. It's incredibly hard to keep up. I’ve gone through 69 actions & mapped out the pattern - showing how they fall within 5 broad domains consistent with authoritarian states 1/9

I'm expecting and hoping that Sen. Tammy Baldwin is in this group.

David Corn@davidcorn.bsky.social

Democratic senators will hold the Senate floor all night long in opposition to the nomination of Russ Vought, an organizer of Project 2025, to head the OMB.

Tammy Baldwin definitely needs to be out front debunking the GOP, as penance for supporting Sean Duffy as Secy. of Transportation.

Is there anyway @repjasmine.bsky.social that you or members of the Democratic Party (hopefully charismatic members) can have daily press conference to a) debunk the BS being put out; b) have a message of hope to the American people (constant messaging is crucial)

i think it is important to say that the open and explicit racism of the president and the vice president isn’t just uncouth or “controversial” but a direct attack on tens of millions of americans and a dereliction of their duty to represent the entire country

Interesting analysis.
