Hey @mta.info @mayor.nyc.gov Major water leak at Jay St station on the A line.

El-Sayed is a good candidate. But the idea that the left has some secret sauce to win voters is proving false in this race. He is only appealing to the “elite” voters the left purports to challenge. There’s lots of multi-racial coalition building to do if progressives want to win nationally.

@mta.info Thanks for just skipping the 6:51 AM 3 train at Harlem-148. I go here three minutes ahead, a train came into the station and they announce the next train is 20 minutes away, with no irony. Your trip planner also said there was a 6:51.

VOTE NO on the “Genius Act”! @bluntrochester.senate.gov @andykimnj.bsky.social @lujan.senate.gov @schiff.senate.gov @slotkin.senate.gov @cortezmasto.senate.gov @warnock.senate.gov

He’s obsessed with how many dolls kids have. But sure, it’s Democrats who government to dictate your life, right? www.washingtonpost.com/politics/202...

I feel someone out there should make tee shirts with “Mark Carney is my President”. C’mon, we all think that at least a little right now.

“I don’t need a vaccine. I don’t get sick.” “It’s measles. It’s been around forever. I don’t think it’s a big deal.” “It’s God’s will.” Since I’m the lefty liberal, I’m supposed to work harder to change attitudes like this? When a cult couldn’t care less? How? www.propublica.org/article/whoo...

I'm sorry, but isn't this just the Cultural Revolution 2.0? Why on earth would fired aid workers and NIH medical researchers go to work on assembly lines for worse salaries in jobs they don't know how to do? Why are they getting their economic policy from Mao?

WTF Kristin Welker? What kind of question was that?? apple.news/AeaIyaQ62TJa...

The lesson here, and I hope French and all other European companies follow, is to push back and/or not do business with the US. This is bullshit and everyone knows it. apple.news/AvsbOlVKjS9-...

So the confederate generals are coming back…. apple.news/AS411Hxt-Rp6...

Read the whole article. And ponder this:

It’s not the economy, stupid, and never was.

Everything in this piece is direct and implores us to focus. For example: “To save institutions, it’s important not to fall into the trap of being divided by policy. Unite with people who disagree with you on everything, so long as they agree with you that democracy is worth saving.”

The people Attorney General Bondi is calling “terrorists” have had no trial and no chance to defend themselves. We do not know who they are. Ignoring the Constitution does not make us safe. It puts us all in peril.

When @schumer.senate.gov is reduced to congratulating himself for his “courage” it is time for Chuck to go. www.rawstory.com/government-s...

Yes, @schatz.bsky.social is unusually quiet. Tough to explain your vote, senator? It should be.

It would be a shame if protesters showed up.

@schumer.senate.gov I am disappointed and furious with your capitulation when Democrats needed you to fight. I am ashamed you are my senator and that you are the titular minority leader. You deserve neither of those positions and I will do everything I can to make sure your remaining tenure is hell.

@shaheen.senate.gov Shame on you for your cloture vote today. Since you’re retiring you had no political reason for doing this and for helping a fascist regime solidify its power. NH deserves better.

@peters.senate.gov Shame on you for voting to advance the Republican CR. There is no mandate from the American people for anything in it and you caved. This is your parting gift to Michigan? Good riddance.

@schatz.bsky.social Your cloture vote today was disgraceful. Hawaii needs a new senator and I will work with every fiber I have to make sure that happens.

@markwarner.bsky.social @senatorheinrich.bsky.social @gallego.senate.gov Vote NO on the CR! This is the power you have so use it. Do not capitulate.

Notice the language used here: giving “power back to the people” = the WH taking control of media access. Even beyond the “unitary executive theory,” Trump is positioning himself as a unitary embodiment of “the people.” apple.news/AWibRzhWjSzW...

How clever of Simon Jenkins to say Russia has “no plans to invade Western Europe” while it is in the midst of its Ukraine invasion. After all, the latter isn’t Western Europe, right? It’s just a “fantasy” according to him. How absurd. apple.news/A-6QqHb95S2y...

This is why you fight these cowards. The moment you stand up to them, they crumble. Homan has nothing. The Fourth Amendment is clear and I am well within my duties to educate people of their rights. He can threaten me with jail and call names all he wants. He’s got nothing else.

President Volodymyr Zelensky of Ukraine has rejected Trump's offer to relinquish half of the country’s mineral resources in exchange for U.S. support.

Know your rights!

Thank you @britannica.com

Stay strong DOJ lawyers!

Remember NIH leaders: except for IC directors, you cannot be fired by law. Make them put you on leave, and call a federal employment attorney.

Per usual, @chrislhayes.bsky.social identifies the through line in Trump/Republicans’ radically reorienting America’s role in the world. It’s easy and somewhat lazy of us to just say Trump is stupid or incompetent. That may be true but it ignores his fundamentally nefarious goals.

“The Democrats could have solved this problem back in the summer.” No, they could not have. Netanyahu was all-in on the long game waiting for Trump to return. I would expect them to know this better than anyone.

Another policy example that there is no “duopoly.” apple.news/AS9-ox0KLTEu...

How is it possible for someone off the street to take things this far? Should we not be questioning if MTA personnel were involved or enabling? gothamist.com/news/police-...

We want to know why “so many Black men” voted for Trump in 2024, so we’re interviewing a Black man who voted for Trump in 2016 and voted libertarian in 2020. Some expert analysis there, Hill. 🤦🏻‍♂️ apple.news/AlQzjAMVsRYS...

Curious if China’s limited response is due to their rather large footprint in US consumer markets. Clothing, for example. Might they be figuring “go ahead, let Americans pay 10% more for clothes. See how that works for you.” apple.news/A5aUjk6yTRli...

BREAKING: Federal judge in D.C. blocks Trump administration from implementing the Office of Management and Budget memo ordering a government-wide freeze on grants and loans as to all current awards. Judge Loren AliKhan also blocks agencies from implementing the order "under a different name."

Raskin: "Elon Musk, you may have illegally seized power over the financial payments systems of the Treasury, but you don't control the money of the American people. The US Congress does that under Article 1 of the Constitution ... we don't have a fourth branch of government called 'Elon Musk'"

Not unfair to say they’re acting criminally if they’re accessing classified information or sensitive information on any American.

@democrats.org @schumer.senate.gov @hakeem-jeffries.bsky.social this needs to stop.

@schumer.senate.gov @schatz.bsky.social @warren.senate.gov @aoc.bsky.social @hakeem-jeffries.bsky.social

Thank you! Great idea to keep up with public health updates and resources.

Hello federal civil servants!! READ THIS if you’ve received an OPM “Fork in the Road” email: www.civilservicestrong.org/resource/opm...

J6 thugs’ records live on.

@hakeem-jeffries.bsky.social @schumer.senate.gov any oversight of this?
