Wise man…

Extorting minerals out of a country where old people and children are being dismembered by remote-operated drones all day long is up there with the most enraging things I’ve ever heard.

Happy Black History Month! Today’s children’s book by a Black author is The Day You Begin by Jacqueline Woodson. A poetic story about identity and diversity. This is one of my favs! #BlackHistoryMont #Childrensbooks #Blackauthors #Booksky

There’s a reason they’re trying to kill unions in the US.

Rep Raskin has been great. Rep Ocasio-Cortez has been great. And Rep Frost and Rep Crockett. Senator Murphy. Maybe no one knew exactly what to do. But such people laid down a clear marker. Let’s respect these and other elected federal representatives who stood out these first few weeks.

The greatest political scandal today is not what Trump is doing. It is the fact that congressional Republicans have given up their role in the constitutional system as a check on the executive branch. If we are in a constitutional crisis, it is as much on Mike Johnson and John Thune as anyone else.

"I want to project tough masculinity, so I recommend surrender." It makes little sense. And also, Hegseth is all but implying he would compromise American sovereignty similarly. Look who turned out to be cheese-eating surrender monkeys.

TRUTH…. it was never really the price of eggs… it was about “HATE”

Truth! #USDemocracy

BREAKING: In the new Presidential rankings, Donald Trump has been surpassed as the worst President in history by Elon Musk.

Here's a realistic plan. Until Musk is banned by the federal government: 1. Talking filibuster (the real kind) 2. Block every nominee for everything 3. No budget talks at all 4. Stunt pressers daily Better than staff tweets. I like Chuck but this is a national emergency. Lie across the tracks.

This one just keeps ringing true

How much clearer does this guy have to be? When they tell you who they are, believe them.

I see more criticism here of Democrats in Congress than I do condemnation of Republicans. And yet it is the GOP who are enabling Trump. It tells me a lot when I see you regularly bash our side but say nothing, ever, about the other. Reflect on your choices. You may be helping the fascists.

We can all use a #MapMonday and what better way to celebrate it then another entry into the classic "what if Doggerland survived?" series. This one fuses Celtic-Norse culture!

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.

I have and will continue to. But you know why I say it here ? Because @bsky.app is 30m strong and growing quickly. The collective wisdom and influence of users here is far greater than any individual democrat. I can't say it enough. Bluesky can be the influence that can counter RW media.

The house is starting another Jan 6 committee. I actually look forward to re-litigating this. Let’s do it. 187 minutes of watching people assault cops, then pardoning them Bring it on Mike
