Every time I see these stories I don’t only think about how much effort it is to defend every single program, I think how much it must infuriate the people who thought they could just sweep everything away to keep getting told no. Tiny wins are still wins

This is the way… “The elected officials in Washington have to stop protesting in Washington. They have to go back to their districts…show the consequences…show the school that isn’t operating…they have to make it real.” With social media, word will spread to neighboring districts—even red ones.

OK, I wrote my “who’s going to enforce it?” piece. It’s a lengthy read, trying to respond to a lot of questions I’ve gotten over the past three weeks, but it’s about democracy so I decided it was worth it to lay out in depth, with examples, what I’ve been talking about here and elsewhere.

This is a sophisticated and entirely accurate analysis. It seems like a minor thing (who cares about a boring letter?), but @joshtpm.bsky.social uses it to clearly explain the current political moment we're in. talkingpointsmemo.com/edblog/how-i...

There will be three special elections in Congress in the coming months, two in April in Florida. The third, in Elise Stefanik's district, will be scheduled once she is confirmed as U.N. Ambassador. If Dems win all three, they re-take the House. Hi @kenmartin.bsky.social. What's the plan?

When President Trump announced his proposal for the U.S. to take ownership of Gaza, he shocked even senior members of his own White House and government. His administration hadn't done even the most basic planning to examine the feasibility of the idea, people with knowledge of the discussions said.

Keep this in mind and do not let the Musk/Trump junta fool you into believing they have us outnumbered. They want to ask the same military and security forces they’re actively attacking and humiliating to kill protesting American grandmothers in their name. I believe this will not be an easy lift

There appear to be at least three separately operating heel factions breaking things within the government in wholly different ways right now. There's the Miller-headed immigration one, the DOGE/Elon one, and a Project 2025 OMB one. This dynamic hasn't showed up in mainstream reporting at all.

These executive orders on banning federally funded entities from recognizing trans people or disallowing them from using the bathroom are not self-executing or immediately enforceable. They require formal rule making at a minimum. They are a scare tactic. Ignore and do not comply in advance.

This is FANTASTIC. If you like kimchi and Mac and cheese you will love it. You could up the heat level if you were so inclined but this is perfect to me. Served with cucumbers in vinegar, garlic, and a bit of sesame oil.

What a weird delight to learn that in the Palermo version of the Nutcracker they have a dancing cannoli (sorry, I know that cannoli is plural and using it for the singular is not good grammar in Italian, but if I said cannolo that wouldn’t make sense in English - languages are weird!)

We went to a kid-friendly murder mystery tonight and someone brought their baby. 13yo was keeping notes on who he thought the murderer was, and at the bottom of the page it just said BABY, all caps, huge letters, circled and underlined.
