#HeyIowa and especially voters in IA 2 - read what Rep Ashley Hinson posted about Trump’s War, which was started without Congressional approval. Then call or email Hinson to remind her Trump promised no more war.

Happy birthday Anne Carson 🎂 📷 Terence Burns "Carson is like a scholarly Joni Mitchell in cut-off denims & a billowy white shirt, & when she talks it's in a faint, hippy-ish voice that makes it hard to tell if she's joking." - Emma Brockes @emmabrockes.bsky.social

God and good men hate so foul a liar.

"It’s just a fact that human beings, especially when they are oppressed and under fire, find ways to talk to each other in ways that their oppressors won’t understand. Whether you’re Black or white, in the death camps or enslaved. People find a way to talk to each other that’s safe."

I would say ABC should be ashamed of themselves but I spent enough to time in TV to know networks have no shame. What they have are shareholders & corporate owners. We have a POTUS who refers to a Governor as ‘Newscum’ and it gets accepted by news orgs but calling out evil isn’t.

Everything that’s happened over the past six months has been a response to an imaginary crisis. There is no immigrant invasion. No trade crisis. No scientific or governance crisis. Just people completely high off their own supply trying to fundamentally reorder society. None of this had to happen.

I held off on what I had planned to discuss in “The Week Ahead” tonight to try and give us some baselines for understanding what is happening in Los Angeles. And in the White House. There is a lot of territory to cover here, and it’s complicated, so bear with me. open.substack.com/pub/joycevan...

I wish them both the worst.

It’s like veep but much much much stupider

"This is a moment in history personified. This is not just people buying favors. This is about who controls this country, and everyone else is just a formality, and that is the worldview that we are up against right now." Interview: www.rollingstone.com/politics/pol...

I can’t believe the media covered up the fact that a clear mental incompetent was running the government while out of his mind on drugs, despite it being widely known in DC circles, to preserve their access to the White House. There should be huge recriminations for this.

Juliette Greco by Gjon Mili, 1957 "Her voice is like a warm light that revives the embers burning inside of us all. It is thanks to her, & for her, that I have written songs. In her mouth, my words become precious stones." - Jean-Paul Sartre www.youtube.com/watch?v=-AQ2...

I was at this town hall and saw her say this live. My jaw almost hit the floor. I am running against her to get her the hell out of the senate.

First declared Democratic candidate for #IASen in 2026. (I expect others to join the field this summer)
