Democracy is not a spectator sport, you fight for it or you lose it. The Nobel peace prize statement: "When authoritarians seize power, it is crucial to recognize courageous defenders of freedom who rise and resist.” I'm that weird kind of smugness.

Economist Justin Wolfers explained: “Washington has discovered a brilliant financial strategy. Cut benefits for people who need them, cut taxes for people who don’t, and borrow the difference from people who aren’t old enough to vote.”

Silicon Valley is now controlling the world unchecked with Trump's blessing. Musk took down Starlink to help the Russians bomb Ukraine, and Zuckerberg took down Instagram No Kings Event to support Trump. We are at their mercy.

Republican politicians are *obsessed* with schoolchildren coming home a different gender because of pro-trans teachers, WHICH NEVER HAPPENS. But they are completely indifferent to schoolchildren not coming home *at all* because of guns, WHICH HAPPENS ALL THE TIME!

Alert ⚠️ An ICE officer shot 28-year-old Wilber Rafael Garces Perez in North Austin today after a traffic stop. He was shot in the torso and hospitalized in serious but stable condition. His attorney says Perez, a Venezuelan national, entered the U.S. legally and had a valid work permit.

Win or lose, James Talarico's campaign is a major threat to the GOP, especially in the long term. Many evangelicals don't even know "liberal Christian" is a possibility. He is showing that it is. And the Christian right is *freaking out*. www.salon.com/2026/09/21/j...

Just an opportunity for Welker to make nice with Trump after that last "nasty" interview. She's terrible at her job.

Lindsey Graham spent the last decade of his life in public service as a US Senator, trying hard to be remembered as an enemy of the Constitution who worked to destroy American democracy and exhibited occasional signs that he knew why that was bad but kept doing it anyway. I will honor his choice.

When a politician dies we see a lot of hagiographies about them. If you mention they were a terrible person IRL, you get chastised. My feeling? If you don't want people to talk shit about you after you die, don't be shitty when you're alive.

When he says the bipartisan housing bill is “so unimportant” compared to the voter suppression bill he means it doesn’t help him personally while the other one saves his ass

Medicare for All - "That's socialism!" Social Security - "That's socialism!" Debt free education - "That's socialism!" Universal childcare - "That's socialism!" $1 trillion in tax cuts for the richest 1%... "That's just how it is."

Susan Collins is REFUSING to debate Graham Platner. Shocking? Not really. When you’ve spent years dodging accountability, why start now? Maine voters see you, Senator. Time to show up. #CollinsAfraid #PlatnerForSenate

At the Palace of Versailles, Trump signed the MOU. Knowledge of history would have been useful. As MeidasTouch noted, it was at Versailles after World War I that the Allied powers forced Germany to sign the Treaty of Versailles, “one of the most famous surrender documents in modern history.”

Trump is working hard for a vibe at his Ultimate Fighting Championship matches at the White House.The Pentagon is recruiting hundreds of troops to watch the matches in their uniforms. In addition to paying for their own travel, those military personnel must meet height and weight requirements WOW!
