I had a podcast in Louisiana based on my 17 years as a successful political organizer & winning Democratic strategist. I’ve stopped recording but the content is evergreen! I moved to Delaware to care for family. Dog & cat mom…kinda obsessed w/tech & media.

Welcome reprieve for the stock market to be closed today. 🙏🏼

"The security of the world is at stake." Well worth watching President Zelenskyy's interview on 60 Minutes www.cbsnews.com/news/ukraine...

Our whole problem right now is that the very small number of people in a unique position to take real action aren't doing so.

Today is Economic Blackout day. No big chains. No Amazon. If you need to shop, then shop local.

For better or worse we are deep in an attention economy. Leaders who want to save our constitution & our democracy need to grasp that singular overriding point.

The good news is that standing up to Trump is something the Democratic base will reward you for. WHICH IS WHY ITS BAFFLING MORE DEMOCRATS ARENT DOING IT

Welp. The first full statement by the whistleblower’s lawyer just provided fodder for all my future nightmares. Make sure your senators and congresspeople know this. This has to stop. We have to demand big change & continual accountability — not a return to normal because the norms didn’t hold.

The good news is that the constitution provides ways for Congress and the Judiciary to reign in a power-hungry president. The bad news is those people are all scared of him.

one thing that Democratic politicians should take note of is that the overlap between “great political optics” and “actual morally good stuff” is really big right now

Lil Marco is learning that diplomacy is difficult, despite the fact that his boss promised to end this war in 24 hours with one phone call & said it “wouldn’t even be that hard to do.” What he won’t say is this isn’t getting done because Putin WANTS war.

“Militant accelerationists aim to speed the collapse of modern society through acts of spectacular violence; from the ruins of today’s democracies, they aim to build all-white ethno-states organized on fascist principles.” @propublica.org #Terrorgram

Whoa. I’m relieved to see this proof of life. I cannot imagine how much this means to his wife. Thank you Senator @vanhollen.senate.gov. Please keep pushing for his safe return.

🚨🚨🚨🚨 I’m reposting this, because people think CECOT is bad, now?? We better start paying attention to their plans. Mexico has already signed on and sent prisoners and the new border EO will keep it out of public eyes. These are death concentration camps. www.politico.com/news/2025/04...

Been looking forward to this, @propublica.org!

New from 404 Media: we've obtained a leak from inside Palantir describing Palantir's plan to help ICE find people to deport. Includes peoples' location. Palantir is expecting a backlash, preparing comments for employees to tell their family. Says ICE "mature partner" www.404media.co/leaked-palan...

From their very first paycheck, folks contribute to Social Security and Medicaid over a lifetime of hard work – they deserve nothing but the full benefits they’ve earned, not senseless cuts to the programs they rely on.

I’m sorry she lost her daughter—but Kilmar Garcia had nothing to do with it. She’s twisting two different stories. Mad her tax dollars sent Sen Van Hollen to El Salvador—but not mad they’re funding Kilmar’s indefinite imprisonment w/out due process? One more time: easier to be angry than informed.

“America the Lawless is nothing new.” @joyannreid.bsky.social explains…

"It is so important because it is “a choke point for all agencies,” said Steven Schooner, a George Washington University law...professor who specializes in government contracting. “They can, in effect, stop all civilian agencies from purchasing, period. That’s everything.” apnews.com/article/doge...

I feel cheated.

🌌I didn’t have my phone when I walked my dogs tonight, but saw something I want help IDing — it looked like a line of “stars” traveling across the sky. There were maybe 20 points of light in a row that started seemingly out of nowhere & disappeared into nothing. (Very clear sky, lotsa stars!) Ideas?

This is the absolute truth 👇👇

Trump's ENTIRE case against Kilmar Abrego Garcia rests on the testimony of a cop who alleged he was a gang member. That cop was arrested indicted 3 months later for sharing case info with a prostitute. Big scoop from @gregsargent.bsky.social: t.co/erLKPJisnt

part 1

yes! this dude will back down to anyone who tells him to fuck himself! this is the only response worth having!

The message that hit hardest for folks (& this wasn’t new to 2024): When We Fight We Win. ALL voters want leaders who will FIGHT FOR THEM. That remains true today. It will be true tomorrow. It will be true every Election Day moving forward. & you can’t just say the catch phrase. You have to LIVE it.

2024 voter file data is finally coming in, and it confirms that Democrats who stayed home in November helped tip the election to Trump. www.rollingstone.com/politics/pol...

NEW: Wow. In a calm & measured tone, Fed Chair Jerome Powell just annihilated Trump’s economic plan. Says tariffs will slow economic growth and increase inflation & unemployment. Also says research cuts mean layoffs & impacts on productivity and health. Trump is going to lose it…

total clarity here from @edwardluce.bsky.social www.ft.com/content/4c4b...

Introduced by Congressman James Madison in 1789, due process can be found in the 5th & 14th Amendments to the Constitution. Also found within the Magna Carta. It ensures that any person receives fair treatment within our judicial system. Note it doesn’t say citizen, nor legal resident. ANY PERSON.
