The sisterhood of the traveling lawsuits.

Are you a woman who changed your name when you got married? Congress is considering a bill that could make it much harder for you to vote. Call your repโ€”this is not a drill. indivisible.org/resource/cal...

This is it

@stephruhle.bsky.social Great interview with Michael Lewis. You two together are dynamite. I guess Iโ€™ll have to pick up his book. BTW, his comment about cleaning up nuclear waste in western Washington state was an eye opener. Iโ€™ll also rewatch this segment on YouTube. Another excellent show.

'Dandelions,' was painted by the Danish artist Bertha Wegmann around 1910. It wasn't an arbitrary choice of a plant to paint: the dandelion was used to promote the womenโ€™s liberation movement in Scandinavia because of its capacity for uncontrolled, strong-willed growth.

BREAKING NEWS: Senator Brian Schatz is BLOCKING over 300 Trump admin nominations by refusing to let them pass with unanimous consent. "I don't think we should make anything easy going forward,โ€ he said. BLOCK THEM EVERY STEP OF THE WAY! MORE OF THIS!

Gorgeous sunset tonight.

This is a great piece.

The thought of another Pandemic (this time under RFK Jrโ€ฆ.Trump, and Musk) is hard to comprehend. www.medpagetoday.com/infectiousdi...

Trump's federal hiring freeze has stopped the onboarding of thousands of seasonal federal firefighters โ€” including those who work for agencies called on to help battle the Los Angeles-area fires, creating a potential shortfall ahead of the next fire season. www.nbcnews.com/news/us-news...

This language describes a coup. You have to be a government employee, subject to the rules & procedures that bind gov employees, to do this kind of work. This is a blatant abuse of the public trust by the Trump administration, a true 5-alarm fire. www.wired.com/story/elon-m...

Irony is dead in this moment along with common sense. Trump who squawked โ€œbut her emailsโ€ incessantly, let Musk (unelected/not a govt employee) send his crew of kids in to review classified information & plug devices of unknown origin into the government computer system, compromising everything.

For the visual learners...

Sen. Schiff presses Kash Patel to look at the Capitol Police officers behind him. Patel doesn't. "I want you to look at them if you can, if you have the courage โ€ฆ and tell them you're proud of what you did. Tell them you're proud that you raised money off of people that assaulted their colleagues."

Caroline Kennedy invoked her father JFK & her uncle RFK saying they would be โ€œdisgustedโ€ by RFKjr nomination. Tonight 10pm @lastword.msnbc.com

This is no longer "Trump targeting women, blacks, migrants, Democrats, LGTBQ, etc." Trump has now fixed his sights firmly on ALL OF US.

Oh FFS www.cnbc.com/2025/01/27/g...

When Trump imposes tariffs on Colombian coffee, Colombian flowers, Colombian bananas and pineapples and avocados, on Colombian oil, it's us Americans who will pay those added costs. We're not even a week into Trump's term and he's already imposed a brand new tax on all of us.

Applicants for the federal government are now being asked to prove when they had their moment of โ€œMAGA revelation.โ€ Career civil servants are being interrogated about who they voted for.

Rev. Mariann Edgar Budde to Trump: "I ask you to have mercy upon the people in our country who are scared now. There are gay, lesbian, and transgender people in Democratic, Republican, and independent families, some who fear for their lives ... and the vast majority of immigrants are not criminals"

In a nutshell... "Biden pardoned January 6 police officers, Trump pardoned January 6 criminals." www.msnbc.com/rachel-maddo...

If you watch only one short video today, make it this one. Remarkable bravery, and the looks on the various faces could be material for a dissertation on gender, the family, and authoritarianism. youtu.be/gVInX42IQD8?...

One day apart.

Congrats to all those Trump fans who fell for the most obvious scam in the history of the world.

Iโ€™m against the TikTok ban, but the last 24 hours has been a masterclass in manipulation by Trump and Shou.
