Amid all the bad news flowing out of the Trump administration, you might have missed a quiet new consensus congealing in think tanks and big business: The targets set out by the Paris climate agreement, they argue—to limit global temperature rise to 2°C (3.6°F)—are a lost cause.

Sen. Strom Thurmond voted against the Civil Rights Act, the Voting Rights Act, AND supported Jim Crow laws. Thurmond’s record for longest floor speech (in protest of the Civil Rights Act, no less!) was just broken by a Black man, my good friend Cory Booker. That’s America.

Being snatched off the street for your opinions. I'll say it again. We are deciding, right now, whether the aspirations we hold for this country are finished. Whether we're going to let these hoodlums and grifters throw what's left of the American idea into the garbage for their own profit and gain.

Weird to think of using emojis for a war plan thread.

Innocent people — undesirables, political dissidents — are being sent to camps here and abroad. A scapegoated minority is being persecuted, made an example of. Wrongthink is being stricken from government institutions and civil society. There is no more "if" authoritarianism arrives. It's here.

If Schumer votes yes, who wants to go to Santa Monica with me to line that sidewalk?

Chuck Schumer is supposed to be the leader of the opposition, not a rank and file member of the GOP. This bill guts veterans healthcare and benefits, now is the time to resist. Senators, follow the lead of House Democrats: vote no on cloture for the Trump-Musk spending bill.

Extraordinary moment — Nancy Pelosi issues a statement calling on Democratic senators to reject the House funding bill, i.e. to defy Chuck Schumer. "Democratic senators should listen to the women," she says, referring to Murray/DeLauro who want a 1-month stopgap bill instead.

House Dems stand with our leadership in holding the line for working people. NO to this Trump/Elon spending bill that aims to make massive cuts to programs that working families have earned in order to give billionaires tax cuts.

Trump and Musk are so anti-American and reckless they've got Americans rooting for Canada, Norway and Ukraine. Congrats, MAGA. Brilliant stuff.

Hundreds of protesters gathered in Waitsfield on Saturday morning to protest Vice President JD Vance, who is visiting Vermont with his family for a ski trip this weekend.

Vance treating Zelenskyy like a child who forgot to say thanks is one of his most disgusting displays yet. Continuing the work of diplomatic destruction he began in Munich

Zelenskyy went into that nest of vipers and roasted them all. Good. They all exposed themselves, they demeaned themselves in a way that was undeniable. Perfect.
