In the spirit of giving, I want to give Chip Roy and friends some branding advice. Don’t give up on Budget “Bird” idea, it shows a degree of unseriousness that fits your brethren. If you continue to use “Hawk” though, eventually your supporters may actually expect some action 1/2

"Lefty Joe Rogan" is exactly the kind of nonsense that makes me want to throw consultants into a lake.

It may be more difficult for this administration to misrepresent a 7 - 2 ruling against them than a 9 - 0 ruling. Reason being, in the 7 - 2 ruling, with Alito & Thomas dissenting, you would have to believe the two of them dissented, and sided against their “dear leader.” 1/2

While I understand why a defense secretary shouldn’t broadcast our intentions and secrets to the world, I do have to wonder if spying on him results in any real “intelligence,” I’m not sure if our adversaries gain anything from learning about his beauty routine.

This is an incredible admission. I do not understand how Murkowski can remain in the Republican party.

I am calling for a total and complete shutdown of detainees being removed from the United States to foreign prisons until our country's representatives can figure out what is going on.

Was thinking about ChatGPT images feel so worthless and something occurred to me. I am not a trained artist (not fishing here!), but I love making pictures of family—in part bc of the process, but also the reaction they engender. If I pressed a button they’d look better but…they’d have zero value.

So it turns out Pete Hegseth lied. And Michael Waltz lied. And Tulsi Gabbard lied. And also lied to Congress while under oath. And John Ratliffe lied. And also lied to Congress while under oath. And as ever Jeffrey Goldberg and the Atlantic were telling the truth. This is why journalism matters.

If I were a Democratic (or Republican, or independent member of Congress), I would not attend Trump’s speech tonight. But disrupting seems foolish. Just don’t go. Let Democratic “leadership” attend, since for some reason they’ve decided they have to. But let leadership be there alone.

Zelensky, the ELECTED leader of a free country, should not be expected to kiss the ass of the toddler. His people expect Him to be strong. Trump would have fled where Zelensky stayed and fought. Trump is the worst negotiator

Dear angry Republican voters who've showed up at GOP Town Halls to complain about the spending cuts, firings and chaos: Speaker Mike Johnson just told CNN's @kaitlancollins.bsky.social that you were 'paid democrat protestors'. They don't care about you. Remember this for the 2026 midterms

We had a couple people who were supposed to miss, but they showed up. Today was the easy hurdle for MAGA Mike, and he struggled with that. Now they got to line-item the details - that’s when the real screaming and infighting begins.

I just got this email from Matt Taibbi asking me to comment on an initiative I wasn’t involved with. I am listed as being part of a “working group” -I wasn’t. My comment is I didn’t work on any such project. Matt has cut emails & quotes in half & twisted my words before so I’m sharing publicly.

Hey Pete “UBW” (unqualified but white) Hegseth, it is not complicated, an evil dictator invaded a democracy, maybe it is time think about being on the right side of history, not the white side.
