Before we jump to conclusions and stoke the culture war, let’s get the facts: DC airspace is busy and aviation is safe. My latest: adamkinzinger.substack.com/p/i-flew-dc-...

Oh. The LA Times is editing out negative parts of an article about RFK Jr. that say he's unfit for Secretary of Health and Human Services. If you haven't canceled your subscription already, you should.

Air traffic controllers were sent emails by the Trump administration urging them to quit their jobs and take mass “buyouts” just 24 hours after the D.C. plane/helicopter collision.

We could have had a competent president, lower drug prices, home buyer assistance, a Cabinet filled with qualified adults and not sociopaths, global respect, and national sovereignty...

Hey Merrick Garland, fuck you forever. Through your inaction, you enabled this blitzkrieg against the rule of law and democracy.

My statement on the FBI Purge that puts at risk the safety, well-being and national security of the American people.

It’s pretty insane that a private citizen can come in, hijack federal government servers, fire people, and steal their PII.

this choice of photos by the Carter Center is shadier than a Georgia peach tree in summer

$1,131,794,901 That's how much Big Oil has spent over the last 30 years paying off Congress to look the other way on climate action while the planet burns. Well, the planet is burning. Don't let them look away.

Bye, bitch.

It’s why I’m mostly here now, in The Good Place.

It's bad enough we have to live under oligarchs. But these dorks?

Meanwhile, live look at me reacting to the news about the Surgeon General’s warning about even casual drinking.

Egrets? I’ve had a few.

The combined net worth of America's twelve wealthiest people passed $2 trillion last year. 12 people. $2 trillion. Meanwhile, U.S. homelessness increased 18% in 2024. Our problem isn’t an issue of resources. Our problem is ever-expanding wealth inequality.

This is an oligarchy. The founders never intended people to have this much power… EVER Stop the oligarchy

Endorse

Two years ago today we were awarded the Congressional Gold Medal for protecting The US Capitol on January 6th 2021. Almost 4 years later the efforts to downplay, whitewash and minimize what happened appear to be succeeding. I won't ever stop standing up to them.

The Secretary of Defense is too important a job for someone with Pete Hegseth’s sick personality, lack of experience and zero qualifications. He’s a danger to the nation. youtu.be/Q4Es-IDBDao?...

You may not understand why, but the healthcare insurance and PBM contracts YOU have signed for Tesla, SpaceX , @X, along with CEOs of other big companies , have more impact on healthcare costs and quality of care in this country, than anything you can do with DOGE

I’m curious how much federal funding he thinks the ACLU receives (it’s none).

There's a piece up in The Atlantic now about the return of misogyny. Now, some might say it never went away, but I think we can all agree it has resurged with a vengeance during the Trump years. Thinking about this issue takes me back to a particular moment in time, a specific week - the week that

100% accurate.

Enough GOP pearl clutching over legal norms and Biden’s pardon. They nominated and elected a FELON. They have no credibility on the question of respect for the rule of law.

It looks like the GOP will start off 2025 with the smallest House majority in over a century. If just ONE Republican defects, Democrats will be able to kill a bill. GOP infighting is going to be fun to watch.

Alexander Vindman is a patriot. Elon Musk, himself an oligarch, is drunk on power and out of control.

Tim Walz needs a podcast to help get us through the next 4 years. Do you agree?

I see what he did there.

Anyone who promoted Trump’s false claims of 2020 election fraud should not be the Attorney General of the United States.

The hubris is apparent to all, and it will prove his undoing.

I see how that works, yes. Do you?

Tonight there will be a Blue Supermoon at 9:35 ET The moon will appear about 8% larger than a normal full moon and 15% brighter than a normal full moon. The next one won't be until January 2037. Keep any eye out tonight!

Remember that libraries are proof that not every goddamned thing needs to be “for profit.”

As someone who once led CMS' Communications dept at a critical moment to secure the ACA for the long-term, this is offensive and morally repugnant. CMS is a serious and important place and to put this clown in charge of the health of over 160M Americans is a dangerous mistake.

This…this is it. In a nutshell, yes.

The words “fascist” and “authoritarian” are used often to describe Donald Trump and his minions, and rightfully so. But what do those terms really mean in practice? Today, Jay Kuo uses the work of Professor Ruth Ben-Ghiat to contextualize Trump's brand of fascism.

Starting this off with a pic of our precious pup - Bo (short for Boaz, Ruth's husband in the Bible). He's crazy but we love him!
