The proof is not in the pudding. The proof OF the pudding is in the eating.

Toxicologist here! This will improve the health of zero Americans. Current synthetic food dyes are not causing health problems, and are often times used because they are actually safer than natural food dyes. Reminder that guns are the #1 cause of death of children but we are going to ban food dyes.

In case you don’t know yet, four of our greatest congressional fighters are in El Salvador right now. I knew this was coming. I didn’t know it was coming without us knowing before it happened. I don’t see a lot of people talking about this yet, so I hope this post changes that 🧵

. @actblueorg.bsky.social I’m a proud and lifelong Democrat, but I swear to God you make me want never to give to another Democrat again. I get multiple texts a day from random Democrats asking me for money. I reply STOP to all of them, and that triggers another message.

I want to help Democrats flip seats, but I don't want to be added to every Democrat's text message and email fundraising list forever. @casten.house.gov @aoc.bsky.social Is there a way to donate and ensure that my info won't be shared with everyone in the party?

@ohheygreat.bsky.social so glad to allow-list your newsletter at its new ghost.io address, brava

I would be remiss, and even churlish, not to share this wonderful-in-every-way post from @cabel.panic.com. The Snacks & Cereals of 2024 cabel.com/2025/01/27/t...

@schumer.senate.gov here you go

When I was a Hill staffer in 2009, a Dem trifecta was trying to pass universal healthcare. In response, Senate GOP released a memo detailing all of the tactics they in the minority could use to delay the effort as much as possible. I'm recirculating that 2009 GOP memo here. Take inspiration from it.

This is how you’re failing us @nytimes.com. You’re not a cooking site or a games site. You’re the goddamn New York Times. Have some courage and tell the truth.

@schumer.senate.gov maybe we could devote some time to this if we’re not too busy confirming RFK and Tulsi. We need you to be all fight all the time.

The @nytimes.com and the @washingtonpost.com are worse than useless in this moment. They’ve completely given up and seem to feel that their role is to make normal and boring any craziness and destruction, no matter how crazy or destructive.

"Substack is, just as a reminder, a political project made by extremists with a goal of normalizing a radical, hateful agenda by co-opting well-intentioned creators' work in service of cross-promoting attacks on the vulnerable." -Anil Dash www.anildash.com/2024/11/19/d...

@schumer.senate.gov we should not participate in any confirmations, or anything else, until Trump shows he will follow the law.

@schumer.senate.gov this is what time it is. Talking about how Trump’s policies aren’t lowering prices or helping Americans misses the point entirely. They are destroying the government. Respond accordingly. kottke.org/25/01/was-an...

I saw a post saying that ICE is pausing its tip line, so I decided to call myself to verify. The recorded voicemail said they are not currently accepting immigration status tips. Good job, friends.

Gm to everyone in NYC feeling overwhelmed/hopeless. Same! I left messages with Sens. Schumer & Gillibrand, as well as Rep. Nadler, and guess what: THEIR VOICEMAIL BOXES ARE NOT FULL Let's fill their inboxes and tell them to DO SOMETHING: Schumer (202) 224-6542 Gillibrand (202) 224-4451

@seancasten.bsky.social my whole feed this morning is full of activist Democrats wondering where their members of Congress are bsky.app/profile/kott...

Yes, @seancasten.bsky.social obstructionism all day, every day. I would love a muscular, ornery, pain-in-the-ass opposition Democratic Party.

Democrats: How can we go viral? (a pastor goes mega-viral for calling Trump a bigot to his face) Democrats: What if Tim Kaine made a BLT on Instagram Live

There are still plenty of people out there for you to be kind to.

So when all was said and done, the only country that opened it's prisons and sent crazy murderous criminals to prey upon innocent American citizens, was us.

want to be excruciatingly clear about this: TikTok didn't have to go dark last night and it didn't have to turn back on this morning. both of those were voluntary moves that the law does not directly touch.
