Lake Tahoe local. Anti MAGA. I was about to hibernate for a few years, but now I'm here, and it’s like a breath of fresh air. BTW: Happily married so spare me the love connections. I don’t respond to those.

The orientation I want congress to have: productive conflict is GOOD. Dems have a real credibility gap. They need to communicate clearly to the public what they are for. Hold the regime accountable and force Trumpists to oppose popular stuff. Don't muddy the message with watered down bipartisan BS.

Leaders of the No Kings movement are already gearing up for the next major grassroots campaign: Making sure congressional Democrats don’t wimp out. My first piece at @newrepublic.com! (Reposted to update link card) newrepublic.com/article/2168...

Disappointing.

The Heritage Foundation adviser who recruited 12 bishops to pray over Trump in the Oval Office claimed a Ph.D. from an Italian university that doesn’t grant doctorates. His listed bachelor’s school is a high school. A Vatican official called the meeting an insult to Pope Leo XIV.

Rephrase: a lot of gop maga voters don’t know what it means. Three syllables and a B? I mean, come on.

Trump “A lot of people don’t know what incumbent means.” Whenever Trump feels the need to explain something, it clearly says it had to be explained to him first.

Wonderful start to a Monday, so far.

A stunning defeat for a Trump-aligned right-wing leader in Europe. Serbian President Aleksandar Vučić, whose government cultivated close ties with Donald Trump and his family, has conceded defeat to a student-led opposition movement in a historic parliamentary election.

In his acceptance speech, Lula says he will work to regulate digital platforms in Brazil. “Digital crimes must be dealt with like real-life crimes.” This comes after Meta directly interfered with the Brazilian elections, favouring Flávio Bolsonaro.

Despite Meta algorithms pushing division, TikTok disinformation campaigns, and US corporate and political interference attempts, Lula and democracy won. A historic victory for Brazil against the odds! 🇧🇷🗳️

Deporting over 200 of your friends and neighbors-peaceful residents who committed no crimes-is a decision to choose cruelty over compassion; immorality over virtue Ingram police officer Jaron Alexander-fired from his last job after being called an "embarrassment"-did it for time and a half pay

Let's not forget that AfD is enthusiastically supported and endorsed by Donald Trump, JD Vance, Elon Musk and Peter Thiel (with Musk and Thiel also funding them extensively). This data is probably enough to get AfD banned in Germany.

A Circle shareholder sued Trump and World Liberty Financial on Oct 22, alleging he profited from over $2B in payments tied to a foreign government in breach of the Foreign Emoluments Clause. An allegation, for a court to weigh. His 2025 disclosure listed $1.4B in crypto income. #Emoluments

if there is a silver lining to this cloud of ugliness, it is that JD stupidly sacrificed his POTUS aspirations on the funeral pyre of an oily serpent. I doubt anyone will ever forget or forgive what the VP did when he could and should have shown a micron of human decency.
