@chrismurphyct.bsky.social: It’s 4am—still debating the Republicans’ billionaire tax giveaway. We offered an amendment to say no tax cut for those making over $10m. Every Republican voted no. So we tried $100m. Every Repub voted no. So we tried $500m! Every Republican a no. See what’s going on?

Why do people who claim to remember their past lives always seem to be reincarnations of Helen of Troy or an accused Salem witch or someone heroic on the Titanic, and never a random cabbage-selling wench from the 1500s who died in her sleep at the ripe auld age of 39 and never learned to read

In addition to Congress being the place that makes the laws, pretty key thing, the constitution explicitly says Congress gets to create the postal system. It’s not left implied that that comes under law making generally. The President has no power to unilaterally abolish it and move it to commerce.

“Are you going to mask forever?” I don’t know… are you planning to spread Covid forever? Masking keeps people healthy. It’s necessary because as a society we’ve refused to do anything to reduce airborne spread. It protects the wearer and those around them. Easy choice!

Democrats should go to all these ruby red and vulnerable GOP districts where voters are upset at Trump and Musk and court them. Full court press.

on its face the idea that hospitals announce "try not to come to the hospital for respiratory symptoms or flu because we are at capacity" is fucking stupid when you consider how bad this season has been

There is a wave of anger building across the entire country. People are already becoming fed up with Trump and Musk. These algorithms can try to hide it all they want, but they won’t be able to avoid reality for long.

I got hit on by a guy driving a cyber truck while stuck in traffic this morning. I told him I wasn't into betas and his face turned beet red and he started to yell but his words were drowned out by my real truck's exhaust as I drove away. This is the best day of my life.

At this point, I feel like massive protests need to happen sooner rather than later while there is less risk of being legally murdered by our military.

Call me prescient but in 2024 I took my kids to Yosemite,Yellowstone and Grand Teton for their first visits. I’d visited as a child with my parents. Especially now, those who love the parks need to set an example: follow the rules, camp where designated, make sure to carry out what we carry in.
