(📢) MAJOR BREAKING NEWS: The Daily Beast publishes a sourced allegation that Trump has been a Russian spy since 1987 and then—possibly under some form of threat—deletes it.

I was set to launch my book at the Carter Library next month. This week, we were told all events now need approval from the National Archives. The next day, my event was forced to relocate. A book about the working homeless. A book about civil rights. Apparently these topics are now off limits.

Memo to Democrats: If EVERY ONE of you would do what Janet Mills did yesterday EVERY TIME, Trump would unravel entirely. He relies on you being bullied. Refuse to be.

This is climate arson, yes, but also the entire value proposition of Tesla, the reason for its insane stock price, is that it would end up the Amazon of electric cars: the only real game in town. Killing off non-Tesla electric car infrastructure is a gift to Musk.

When I was in residency I had to watch a teenager and her parents brought to tears when she learned that she had Turner Syndrome (XO). But Nancy Mace doesn't mind being horribly cruel.

I am not kidding when I say Madison intended impeachment to be used on the first, next, and last President who referred to themselves as a king, and we ought to do him right

I once liked Musk quite a bit - mostly for SpaceX. But then I heard him on a podcast about 8 years ago and he came off as a blithering idiot. It’s astonishing how anyone can listen to him talk for 5 minutes and not see right through him

If anybody out there has a copy of the 2002 CD “The Ticket,” by New York subway performer Ron Raffel, please contact me! I’ve been searching for this album since 2008 when I realized my disc was badly scratched/unplayable. It’s an obsession! I want to hear it again!

This is why you fight these cowards. The moment you stand up to them, they crumble. Homan has nothing. The Fourth Amendment is clear and I am well within my duties to educate people of their rights. He can threaten me with jail and call names all he wants. He’s got nothing else.

I thought this was true in 1992 when Pat Buchanan said as much while GHW Bush nodded and clapped along at the RNC. It was just a momentary setback though unfortunately

Missouri's AG Andrew Bailey is suing Starbucks, arguing that its workforce is too "female" and "non-white" and as a result Missouri consumers “pay higher prices and wait longer for goods and services" because its workforce is "less qualified" This is a brazenly racist and sexist lawsuit.

An amazing resignation letter to Bove from an AUSA who worked on the Adams case. Money quote: “I expect you will eventually find someone who is enough of a fool, or enough of a coward, to file your motion. But it was never going to be me.”

Not that anyone cares but a bunch of senior doj officials resigning over a corrupt instruction to drop a case was what triggered the Nixon impeachment, and in the Trump era it's just the 2pm scandal of a random Thursday and every day now has ~3 such scandals that would have ended any prior admin

One thing Democratic leadership could do right now is to name an alternate HHS secretary--someone to provide ongoing public updates and health information. And do it for other departments too. Start showing voters what a Democratic government would look like--press conferences, speeches, all of it.

The Partition of India displaced 20 million people, killed almost 2 million & created a refugee crisis whose effects are still in play over 70 years later, if you actually think it's a model for anything but massive catastrophe, you should not only not be employed here you should be in a padded cell

I need your help. I’m exhausted with the flourishing of fossil fuel & anti-renewables hacks in light of the election. I just want to see this silly-simple image of a solar panel go viral. Don’t follow me, just like and repost this and do what you do Bluesky. 🙏
