I’ve been begging Dem reps to adopt criminal framing for Trump and GOP actions. Because it’s clear, memorable, and has the benefit of being true. The president is a convicted criminal. He is out on bail. His EO’s are illegal. DOGE’s actions are illegal. ICE is kidnapping people.

Just saw that @rokhanna.bsky.social is urging Dems to work with Musk. 🤮🤮🤮The guy is a misogynistic racist Nazi drug addict who cannot be trusted. Khanna is out of his mind. I think the non-union Tesla plant is in his district. #brosWillBeBros

I spent the day at the Terrapin Roadshow in Monte Rio and it renewed my hope. A thousand people from birth to 90 dancing and singing in a redwood grove. “Through this world of trouble we gotta love one another”. Yeah Jerry! Grateful Dead Forever!

On June 27, 2024, Joe Biden gave the worst debate performance in history. And then it became my job, as a DC reporter, to foster conventional wisdom that a feeble president with sane policies was surely worse than an energetic president with racist, economically incompetent, kleptocratic policies.

Whats usually going on with the vacancy conspiracies is: (a) Americans unaccustomed to highrises think they're vacant if they dont all have lights on; (b) wealthy people do seasonally use their multiple homes and somewhere in a game of cultural telephone that translates to 100% vacant.

Maddow show is disappointing tonight. Ezra Klein and Jen Psaki are not worth the electricity. I’m heading for the blues bar.

On 4 May 1961, the Freedom Riders left Washington, D.C., in two buses and headed to New Orleans. They faced violence, resistance, and arrests. This interracial group aimed to challenge segregation in interstate bus travel and public facilities. 💙 #MomSky #Voices4Victory
