US garment workers helped pioneer multi-ethnic labor unions, which united people across racial, religious, gender, linguistic, and cultural divides. Also native-born citizens and immigrants. I think about that sometimes when I see people suggest such divides are unbridgeable.

Republican Congressman Mike Collins signals his intent to end Social Security: "[Old people need to] get off of Social Security [and] get back into the workforce."

THIS WAS MONEY FOR CHILDREN’S HEALTHCARE. A Florida grand jury found $10 MILLION meant to help provide health insurance for poor children was misappropriated for political purposes. Moody & DeSantis took money meant for kids. #GOPWarOnHealthcare

Yet another reason to run on oversight and accountability. Those are promises they can actually keep.

Not to be a party pooper but a Democratic Congress is absolutely not going to lower costs; it just won't be in their power no matter how much they'd like to. Hard to tell what the political consequences of being unable to follow through on their central campaign promise will be.

Mike Rogers has the audacity to lie to you about his plan like he didn't vote 4 times to stop you from getting cheaper medication from Canada, take $1M from Big Pharma, and vote 19 times to keep prescription drug prices higher. GTFOH.

Despite being a famous Hollywood star if you want to know what sort of person DAVID NIVEN was, the largest wreath at his funeral was from the Porters at Heathrow Airport. It read: “To the finest gentleman who ever walked through these halls. He made a Porter feel like a King.”

This wasn’t just the moment a dog found a home. It was the moment he realized someone had finally chosen him. The way he looks up at his new person says more than any caption ever could. 🥺❤️

oh my goodness -- I had no idea Mike Collins's hit ads on Jon Ossoff are *this* bad. Truly abysmal stuff.

Glad 60 Minutes is doing a Jacob Wohl story literally nine years after I reported on that guy. One time he was pretending a scam website he was running wasn't his, so I called the number on the website and it went to his mom's voicemail. Jacob is like training wheels for investigative journalists.

Exactly.

Any time any anchor ever asks a Democrat about Hasan Piker, the correct response is “Piker isn’t running for anything. Republicans have a literal candidate supported by Mike Johnson who refers to kids as cum trophies. You’re asking the wrong questions.”

Your regular reminder: If the Russians stop fighting, the war ends. If the Ukrainians stop fighting, their land will be occupied, their leaders will be killed, their history and language will be erased, their children will be kidnapped to serve Russia.

We’re on a path to lose the Senate but win the House. Let’s make sure we win both. We can’t move forward with the plan to expand the supreme court if we don’t win the senate.

Two-thirds of NYC’s income growth since the pandemic went to the top 1%. The richest 0.001% — about 50 families — saw their average income soar from $315 million in 2019 to nearly $600 million a year. It’s time to build a city that works for everyone.

Oakland County knows it just shouldn’t be this hard to thrive in the richest, most powerful country on Earth. Time to get money out of politics, put money in pockets, and pass Medicare for All!

I've been doing a quarterly AMA with my friend Peter, where we answer people's style-related questions. In this latest episode, we talk about fabrics for custom tailoring, shoes for various activities, and how to find your style without looking like you're in a costume. pod.link/blamo/episod...

The richest man owns X. The second and fourth richest men control Google. The third richest man owns The Washington Post. The sixth richest man owns Facebook, Instagram, and WhatsApp. And now the seventh richest could soon take over both Paramount and Warner Bros. See the problem here?

Jack: Do you know who Laura Ingraham supposedly dated in the past? Lindsey Graham. Welch: Of course they did. That’s beard meets beard.
