Maybe I went to a farm and sniffed up some avian flu in my sneaky cat nose. How would you even know? Not like they’re tracking that stuff for farm workers, who are literally such important people for us all

Reporter @owillis.bsky.social saw a too-perfect quote from a Black voter -- ID'd as an AI worker -- in an NYT quoteboard. So he did checked -- and voila, turns out the guy is a flak for Houston Young Republicans. NYT stealth-edited the guy's bio the next day. www.dailykos.com/stories/2025...

Elon is now posting that Social Security "might be the biggest fraud in human history." Statements describing SS as a Ponzi scheme have long present in some parts of the right (www.cbsnews.com/news/rick-pe...), tho typically one of most effective Dem attacks. Now formal part of MAGA mantra?

The Byline of the Washington Post is “Democracy Dies in Darkness.” They have now moved to the dark side. First, when Bezos blocked the Post’s endorsement of Harris/Walz. Now they will not run an anti-Musk ad. We are watching one of our nation’s top papers die. www.rawstory.com/washington-p...

Congratulations to everyone who hedged on Elon's Nazi salute. Now he's tweeting 14 flags at 14:14, but I'm sure it's an accident. Can't wait for the Very Serious People to tell us there's no way to know what's in his heart when he starts screaming Heil Hitler next week.

The New York scandal - the administration is ordering the dropping of criminal charges against the mayor but threatening to reinstate them if he doesn’t help with deportations - isn’t getting much attention here Makes VP Vance’s lecture on ‘shared values longer held by Europe’ even more staggering

I sincerely don’t know why people aren’t physically stopping those dorks. Move shit. Lock doors. Lose the keys. Everyone switch seats. Turn off all the lights. Switch the signs on the elevator lobby. Make the settings all silly. Use a different language. Wear costumes. Fill rooms with balloons

Here's what I know about America: When I was a kid, I thought when someone did something illegal, you could just call the cops and they'd be arrested. But when I got older, I learned that only applied to the middle class and below. When billionaires blatantly break laws, no one does anything.

Let's be clear. Trump didn't nominate Musk for any position subject to Sen confirmation. So this is an unconstitutional seizure of power from Musk. RIGHT NOW CALL your members (especially all Sen Dems) and ask them to deny UCs and grind the Sen to a halt until this madness stops. ☎️ (202) 224-3121

I wrote more about that very odd lie last week. It was almost funny - the WH had a background explanation that did technically make sense (the funds were for a group that did fund family planning, albeit not in Gaza) but then Trump just started saying it was literally $50m for Hamas.

No one cares about your bipartisanship. They care about doing what's needed. And Dems absolutely fail on that front.

Sorry, but when the President undertakes a multitude of unconstitutional actions, every member of Congress has a duty to say "no, the President cannot do any of those things." The failure to do so isn't just bad strategy, it's acquiescence to the unconstitutional actions.

These guys are my age and I can't put into words how embarrassing it is for any man in his 40s to try to reclaim the edginess of his youth by gleefully bringing back the slurs of his high school years. Grow up already. It's long past time to stop being a man-child.

Giant banks like JPMorgan and Wells Fargo hiked the cost of loans to make a bigger profit. After pressure, they pledged in front of Congress that they'd pass on higher savings rates to their customers. Senator Reed and I called on these CEOs to keep their word.

Has Trump lowered the price of groceries? No. Instead, he's focused on renaming the Gulf of Mexico. Today, my colleagues and I gave him a list of things he could do right now to start to lower the prices of eggs.
