Fell behind on Andor, so am catching up. Watched Episode 9 this evening. You know. The wild one where they arrest a Senator after manufacturing a fake crisis that required the military to put down protestors. So unrealistic.

if dems want messaging help, stop telling people you're "fighting back." it sounds like you're being mugged. call off the podcaster search, take your ridiculous money pile and try opening some food banks and free clinics. hurricanes are coming and the feds have no plan. looks like an opening to me.

Can’t emphasize this enough: if you’re feeling overwhelmed by the debased assault on our country, the antidote is connecting with other people in the flesh who are feeling the same way. There are millions of us.

Can’t help but wonder how much damage musk + Big Tech leadership have done to the idea of Silicon Valley as a beacon of hope and progressivism that attracted the very best talents from across the planet.

Vought is giving big banks and giant corporations the green light to scam families. The Consumer Financial Protection Bureau has returned over $21 billion to families cheated by Wall Street. Republicans have failed to gut it in Congress and in the courts. They will fail again.

I’m on my way to the Treasury Dept to demand answers. Billionaire-in-Chief Elon Musk has been given illegal access to Americans’ private info, including Social Security numbers. Zero people voted for Elon to run our government. This is about oversight and transparency.

The narrative from Gavin Newsom needs to be, point blank: California is not asking the country to bail it out. California, which is the greatest contributor in federal tax dollars and greatest subsidizer of the nation is asking for it's money back. Otherwise, Californians shouldn't pay federal tax.

the jd vance couch-fucking story and “weird” were the only times in recent memory the Left seemed to understand the information environment we currently live in. if we could stop obsessing over “disinfo” and simply adapt we might at least have a shot at throwing sand in the gears in the years ahead.

It’s worth remembering that the CFPB didn’t appear out of thin air. Shady lenders were tricking and trapping people with mortgages that crashed our economy and cost millions of people their homes. I had an idea to fight back—the CFPB—and it was clearly necessary.
