He nails it.

I took to the floor with an amendment that says one simple thing: No billionaire should get another tax break.

Good pep talk!

Some thoughts on the release of the hostages’ bodies today. There’s enough sorrow to share. Enough empathy to go around. Let us break open, rather than close up.

New: DOGE's spending has been secret. No longer. My colleagues have uncovered it. www.propublica.org/article/doge...

EXCLUSIVE: A federal worker at the EPA sent an incredible email to Administrator Lee Zeldin. He's refused to stay silent, and has asked me to share the email - and his name - with the public. My latest: www.muellershewrote.com/p/exclusive-...

Dear business owners that voted for Trump, You could have had $50K in capital and a robust SBA. Instead, DOGE is cancelling all your government contracts and putting you out of business so he can have the contracts for himself.

Elon Musk recently posted on his site that another lawyer and I are “undermining civilization.” He goes on to ask if we suffered childhood trauma and concludes by suggesting we are suffering from “generational trauma.” This is my response. www.democracydocket.com/opinion/my-o...

Holy shit! The ultimate resister right here. Watch what he does at the end. ✊🏾✊🏿✊🏻🏳️‍⚧️🇺🇸🏳️‍🌈💙 He is our example. This happened today at a Huntington Beach, California city Council meeting. People are gonna have to be willing to get this loud, get in their faces, make a noise.

Crockett: He went from being the dork that was jumping around on stage to allegedly being this amazing genius that's gonna save a country he wasn't born in, and one that maybe he doesn't agree w/the idea of a democratic republic, considering the fact he may have been more on the side of apartheid.

If you're in NYC on Monday night, come to the Ukrainian Institute, where I will have the honor of talking to @avindman.bsky.social about his excellent & well timed new book, THE FOLLY OF REALISM. (Our new king should come. It's in his hood & he might learn something.) www.zeffy.com/en-US/ticket...

President Volodymyr Zelenskyy is not a dictator. He is a champion of democracy, freedom and truth.

“Pay no attention to the man behind the curtain!”

Now this, I can co-sign.

“… pathetic and weak.” Exactly.

The dynamic between Donald and Elon is analogous to Emperor and Empress in the Byzantine Empire: open.substack.com/pub/gregolea...

This episode of the podcast Disorder is an excellent discussion about the European response to Vance and Hegseth's speeches in Munich last week. podcasts.apple.com/us/podcast/e...

Please stop shaming federal workers for their decisions to stay and fight or resign in protest. You don't know their lives or what they have the privilege of doing. It's like yelling at a rape survivor for not reporting.

“We salute and admire the courage many of you have already exhibited and that will guide all of you as you continue to serve the interests of justice. You’ve responded to ethical challenges of a type no public servant should ever be forced to confront..."

-The Question: How the hell did we get here? -The Answer: Citizens United.

@raskin.house.gov: "The whole anti-corruption crusade is an absolute fraud. They started by decimating the ranks of the inspectors general. These are the people whose job is actually, day in and day out, 365 days a year, to ferret out waste, fraud and abuse in the departments and the agencies."

NEWS: With swearing. If you haven't checked out the @dailybeanspod.bsky.social yet, give it a spin today. You get the news you need without the headaches. Totally independent and always free: podcasts.apple.com/us/podcast/t...

Great turnout for the protest in New York City today. People standing up to be counted.

One of the greatest tricks that Donald Trump and Elon Musk ever pulled is to convince millions of people that DOGE is about government efficiency. It's about narcissistic, resentful destruction: The Death of Government Expertise. www.theatlantic.com/ideas/archiv...

NEW: Trump’s FEMA administrator just sent out an email ordering all employees to stop sending things to the media without prior authorization. It was immediately sent to me by a FEMA employee without prior authorization to share with you.
