a maximalist strategy of opposition against every nominee as unqualified would have stood a better chance of creating the kind of public outrage that might have led to more republican defections, but i'm sure the imaginary family that chuck schumer relies on to guide his decisions disagreed

We @propublica.org are tracking who is working with Elon Musk and what they are doing. We have 20+ names so far including some that haven't yet been reported. Help us investigate and send us tips 🔎: www.propublica.org/tips/federal... projects.propublica.org/elon-musk-do...

No more business as usual. Donald Trump and Elon Musk are imposing pain on millions of people. Tonight, we’re taking this fight to the Senate floor. Russ Vought - author of Project 2025 - is up for a vote, and Democrats are using every second to throw a wrench in their plan.

i think it is important to say that the open and explicit racism of the president and the vice president isn’t just uncouth or “controversial” but a direct attack on tens of millions of americans and a dereliction of their duty to represent the entire country

While President Trump illegally pauses federal funding from Congress, the Senate must not be business as usual. We do not consent to this lawless power grab.

Fascinating, and horrifying. Will they simply erase history or eventually replace it with something revised/rewritten? “JAN 6 was uneventful, a bit cold.”

Somehow this fundraising strategy does not give me faith in the Dems' ability to take on the new fascist broligarchy. 🤦‍♀️

This stuff is a disaster. It is now impossible to avoid, and is so antithetical to how writing works that we're threatening to make writing meaningless. I discuss this bad path in my forthcoming book. www.hachettebookgroup.com/titles/john-...

My father got to have Richard Nixon as an enemy. A shithead, but a figure that could be dissected and maybe understood in his own way. We all get failed influencer rich kids who are mad they can't say slurs. God, just give me an interesting enemy.

Welp. I deactivated my largely defunct Twitter account and came here. That'll learn 'em.
