Dear Blue PACs: 1) Stop texting me to sign a petition when what you really want is a donation. Our side is for truth and transparency. 2) Show me you are all working together for a common cause. Fractures will not help us overcome this catastrophe. Your friend who really wants to help, NC

Four deadly plane crashes in four weeks. Thank goodness the acronyms are no longer gender neutral. That will be such a relief to grieving families and a boon to understaffed air traffic control teams.

If JD hadn’t forgotten all his Con Law, then maybe Liz wouldn’t have to school him like a 1L.

Vance and Vermeule beg the question when they say federal judges can’t block legitimate acts of state : the point of having unelected judges is so that *whether* acts of state are ‘legitimate’ “can be decided by someone other than the people who are undertaking them.” www.forbes.com/sites/alison...

Kendrick brought America together the way that "Country Roads" ad was supposed to.

I really thought he would hold out for more than 2 weeks before f’ing over the farmers who *did* vote for him…

@levgrossman.bsky.social I cannot remember the last time I felt as pleasantly surprised by a book as during Chapter 17 of #TheBrightSword. Thank you.

Two organizations I see doing the best work to save American democracy so far. Both are clearheaded about the fight we are facing. Both need your $$$. 🧵:

If you… feel lonely as a blue dot in a red state, want to leverage the little bit of energy you have left for good, find inspiration in smart sass (emphasis on smart), then follow @piperformissouri.bsky.social.

I love chess intrigue stories for many reasons, one of which is that St. Louis is considered a global destination on par with cities like Singapore and Budapest. www.nytimes.com/2024/11/22/s...

Every meeting today ended with someone asking, “So what are your plans for Thanksgiving?”

Spokesman, I know witches. Witches are friends of mine. Spokesman, your client is no witch.

This but with one amendment: If we’re going with shoulds, then “Every human being should be saying…” The Dems not only should but also have a responsibility to…

Today is Transgender Day of Remembrance. Each year, the trans community loses too many lives, especially trans women of color, to hate and violence. More than ever, we must stand by our trans family and support them, hold space for them, and insist the scapegoating and targeting stop. Now.
