Trump's one achievement so far has been to Make Canada Great Again.

It is legal to criticize the president. It is legal to criticize the president's actions. It is legal to criticize the president's advisors. It is legal and patriotic and the blood of a healthy society to hold those in power accountable, and even to mock them. Remember it.

This is new: “A source with direct knowledge of the discussions told NBC News that Trump is heavily focused on Canada in conversations with aides, who believe he is completely serious about making the country the 51st state—even with Trudeau out of power” www.nbcnews.com/politics/don...

Ok, something funny did happen today! Thank you Canada for the much needed laugh

This has to be the worst capitulation yet. If only because it feels like the last stand they could have taken. After all the others they didn’t. I cannot imagine what this Senate will rollover for next. This was a very bad day.

Among the material devastation to everyday people, Senate Dems have now blown a hole in their ability to work with the House. We had an agreed upon plan, House took immense risk, then Senate turned around midway and destroyed it w/ a fear-based, inexplicable abdication. They own what happens next.

I'm not going to sugarcoat it. Today was a bad day for our country – and for the Democratic Party. Let's talk about it. open.substack.com/pub/schiffno...

Looks around in disbelief… wtf happened here today?

Chag Purim Sameach! Purim is a celebration of resilience, courage, and giving. In New Jersey, we stand strong against hate and for justice. Wishing all who celebrate a joyful and safe holiday!

Here’s a cheat sheet with all the phone numbers for the US Senate. I have a feeling we’ll be calling them a lot in the near future.

Heh. Me. 🤦🏼‍♀️

Please check out my new show, Fuck Fuck Fuckity Fuckin’ Fuck: The Musical.

WTF is this, even?

If Congress loses the power of the purse, it is no longer a legislative body; it becomes a board of advisors. - Rep. Jake Auchincloss this morning on The Daily Beans prior to the CR vote (I’m paraphrasing) @dailybeanspod.bsky.social @repauchincloss.bsky.social

Since our current representative remains AWOL, I'll be doing a town hall this Thursday evening in Summit. Whether you agree with my perspective or not, please come to share concerns and ideas about what can be done to get our country to a better place. See the image to RSVP!

How dare he! Sen Kelly actually *went* to Ukraine, as opposed to watching a YouTube video or looking on Google Maps. Thank you!!

So far, this appears true. With respect to transgender people and Palestinian activists, the Trump administration is testing boundaries by targeting the most vulnerable and least likely to receive political protection. They know all Republicans and most Democrats are too spineless to stop them.

Yes. If DHS can barge in, say your visa was revoked, be told you have a green card, say it's revoked too, and then disappear you so that neither your lawyer nor your family can find you, then all the guardrails are gone. There is no policy, practice, or law protecting anyone.

One year ago, I made this meme with my daughter in mind. What could have been… #BloodySunday

What a different world we could have.

Happy International Women's Day! May we all embody this energy today and always.

European leaders hear Trump loud and clear. Do *any* of our leaders?

The president had overwhelming support in rural America. Farmers are among those feeling the pain of his early moves, and some push for adjustments. NPR covers rural America when others don’t, and my colleague Scott Neuman has a long and nuanced report that’s worth your time.

Feels like a think tank should be working on something called "The American Restoration 2029" which basically undoes Project 2025. This daily stream of changes to the executive branch leaves no doubt that any effort to return to normal governance will take a years-long planning process.

I think people are extremely on edge, and horrified by how quickly society has slipped into this banal techno-fascism, and scared about how far it will go, and that makes people brittle and impatient, and if I were a better person I would extend grace to people because of that, but, you know, I’m me

We are all in the debris field of a SpaceX mishap

Right 👇🏾👏🏾😊

How to do sit-ups: Lay down, hands behind your head. Wow, this is a good position for a nap. Maybe just take a nap.
