Shades of the Christie-era!!

Seems legit.... We don't want to be a nation of underachieving Americans.

I’m telling you @hakeem-jeffries.bsky.social, please watch this. This is the energy. Not egg prices and book tours and strongly worded letters. It’s time to take the gloves off.

Coup behavior.

Amanda Zurawski, one of the Texas women who nearly died due to the states abortion ban, has been named one of Time’s Women of the Year.

trump wants to be able to tell the USPS not to deliver ballots to blue states www.washingtonpost.com/business/202...

has a single mainstream journalist acknowledged that it was a massive media failure to treat project 2025 as a closed issue just bc trump lied a couple of times about not supporting it

MAGA has a bill that would disenfranchise someone you know. The SAVE Act is the GOP’s attempt at mass voter suppression disguised as an election integrity bill: indivisibleteam.medium.com/maga-has-a-b...

Works as advertised

Dear Canada, Don't sweat it. We're booing here, too. Sincerely, Decent Americans

It’s not even been a month since Elon Musk’s inauguration. Sorry, it’s not even been a month since Trump’s inauguration — but it’s easy to forget with Musk getting access to everything he wants. Instead of giving into despair, put your anger to use: indivisibleproject.formstack.com/forms/organi...

Remember when they mocked us for saying that democracy is on the ballot?

This is the statement made today by a person who views himself as a wannabe dictator. This is not a statement that should ever be made by a U.S. President. We must remind him literally every day in various ways that he reports to the people, not the other way around.

Make your calls. Go to your town halls. Ask your state and local officials what they are doing under state and local law. Rest. Hydrate. Make soup for the hungry. Don’t let people tell you that you’re doing it wrong. Not a sprint. Not a marathon. A relay. Find your team. Thank you.

When I heard Musk say this on Tuesday, my assumption was that it was a programming issue. Because I can code and have written to databases and because I am familiar with other examples of default values being misinterpreted. Yet somehow Musk isn't.

Seriously, how hard would it be for the Senate and House Ds to have a morning joint press conference, 7 days a week, contesting Trump's assault on the US right now? Could be a different Senator and House Member each day. We are in a national emergency right now. Our leaders need to act that way.

This is all a good reminder that, “no help, no votes until the criminal conduct stops” is neither a big ask nor a politically perilous one.

“The time is out of joint”

Microsoft found in its own AI research that it encourages less critical thinking. Unfortunately, this isn't poised to stop the mass AI integration into all levels of schooling, including early childhood education, where critical thinking skills should be formed. www.404media.co/email/9d5175...

This was March 27th 1933 Hitler was sworn in just 2 months prior.

I would much rather be baking but seems like we've got some work to do.

Friends! We are responding to Indivisible's Call to Action and are organizing to meet in front of both Senator Booker's Newark office and Senator Kim's Jersey City office this Wednesday, February 5th, from 12-1 pm. Kim signup in the comments www.mobilize.us/indivisible/...

CONTACT YOUR REPS www.booker.senate.gov/contact/writ... www.kim.senate.gov www.nj11thforchange.org/contact_reps www.nj11thforchange.org/district_ele...

TOMORROW: We’re rallying at the Treasury building with @moveon.org to stop Elon Musk’s hostile takeover and tell this unelected billionaire to get his hands off our money. We hope you can join us if you’re in the D.C. area.

I am begging every Democratic committee, PAC, and candidate to get control of your damn email program right now and stop sending tone deaf fundraising emails that have nothing to do with what's happening. Stop listening to focus groups from a month ago. Stop the 2 approved talking points.

See you soon @booker.senate.gov @andykimnj.bsky.social!

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.

Gotta love how the Chamber invokes the mom & pop shops here. 🙄

Removing this from its original context today so as to avoid turning it into a dunk, but for the thousandth time: The word "till" in the sense of "until" predates the word "until" by a century and has been in regular use for a millennium, give or take. It's not an abbreviation; it's a word.

I live in New York City in the year 2025. The president is a convicted felon. The mayor of NYC is an indicted felon. The secretary of defense is a Fox News host. The secretary of transportation is a Fox News host. The very worst people in America are in charge of America.
