We can always rely on the Secretary of Defense to do the right thing. www.nytimes.com/2025/05/21/u...

If he’s a journalist then I’m a butterfly. #SayingItDoesntMakeItTrue

Breaking: When I read about Pete Hegseth I want to break my cell phone.

I simply do not understand how a NEWS ORGANIZATION is basically existing in a stage of siege but very rarely conveys in its political coverage that we are in a state of emergency

It would be so nice to have a grown up in the Cabinet. www.nytimes.com/2025/04/21/u...

Sign this easy 3 second petition to protect us from longer tv and radio fund-drives and oh yes to save funding for public media. protectmypublicmedia.org.

IF Garcia is even still alive, Trump knows he can't allow him back into the country because he will immediately become ALL THE NEWS. His only move as far as he's concerned is letting Garcia rot and die, which he almost certainly will fight to do to the bitter end. This is a turning point moment.

The only surprise is, what took them so long? #AmericanNaziParty

The word “concedes” appears in far too many headlines.

Just got my measles vaccine! #ThankYouScience!

Just another little opinionista adding her praise for @chrislhayes.bsky.social’s new book, The Sirens’ Call. Lovely writing. Shouldn’t be using social media to say so.

Sycophants who support trump have terrible manners.

I appreciate @maddow.msnbc.com referring to Musk as “Trump’s largest campaign donor.” It’s the truth.

Will we ever find out who paid Guiliani’s defamation bill to Ruby Freeman and Shaye Moss?

How do we know that Musk doesn’t have the nuclear codes?

Hello, @nytimes.com: My magazine has Denzel Washington on the cover, but not within. Magazine starts at page 17. No table of contents. No puzzles. Just 2 entire printings of a long piece about Charlie Kirk and 2 copies of the recipe. Get it together, NYTimes! This is not a time to be sloppy.

It just happened … [looking at my watch] … today. I shouted at my radio, hearing more bad news. #Boomer

Eric Adams has always been for sale, it seems.

REPOST if you support our federal workforce and know how dedicated they are to their jobs. Show them you appreciate them!

Why even hold hearings?

We. Need. An. Opposition. Leader.

Trump Says He Revoked Joe Biden’s Security Clearance - The Wall Street Journal— posted while gagging.

We. Need. An Opposition.Leader.

Always surprised to see adults fly in shorts. But it’s winter in North America. If you’re flying to a city where the temperature is averaging in the low 30’s, you’re an idiot.

I believe I’ve had this big box of Diamond Crystal Kosher Salt since George H.W. Bush was president. It keeps on giving.

WHO IS OUR OPPOSITION LEADER?

She called for kindness and mercy.

This is a good art choice.

simple point i tried to convey in the post I just shared. if someone does a nazi salute at a political rally, i don't need to do a critical biography or do some deep dive on why they did it. if you want a research project, sure, whatever. but that doesn't matter. They did it. Thats all that matters.

Since it was such a special day, I wanted to share my favorite poem. #MeetingTheMoment

Unintentionally I heard his voice today. Blech.

Just reminding my small but mighty band of followers that I will be here on @bsky.app and only here this week. Avoiding anything Meta-Zuck-adjacent.

I guess he doesn’t believe in sunscreen either.

At the Elks Lodge in Glendale, helping people replenish their supplies. Noticing the cars of the neighbors in need are crammed with whatever they could grab before they fled their homes.

The Elks Lodge in Pasadena is offering food, clothing, toiletries, blankets, PPE, water, shoes in a bright and welcoming spot. 400 W. Colorado Blvd. Help yourself to what you need.

remarkable to me that far from seeming cool or masculine zuck seems like an even bigger loser — the kind of nerd who preemptively gives his lunch money to the bully and thanks him for the opportunity

LA fires are a good reminder that the only difference between me and any refugee is luck.

Great letter in today's Guardian. What sort of free speech is prevented by factchecking, Zuck?

Update: Dry January is not easy after evacuating during a fire. #DontJudgeMe

Update: Drynuary is going great. It’s January 3rd.
