@schumer.senate.gov and @hakeem-jeffries.bsky.social here is an idea. You should have your members boycott the SOTU on March 5th in protest given the Constitutional crisis we are now experiencing. It would be a message to the world how alarmed America is with where we are heading.

This is a continuation of the Orange Menace's first term when millions of Americans lost jobs. Yes, I understand that we had a pandemic but he mismanaged it horribly leading to loss of hundreds of thousands of lives and loss of jobs in 2020.

If any of our former NATO or Five Eyes allies have intelligence data and assessments, which surely they must, about the background of the leader of their new strategic adversary, the United States, now is as good a time as any to release them, subject to protection of methods and sources, of course.

President Trump has ousted Joint Chiefs Chairman CQ Brown and says he is replacing him with Air Force Lieutenant General Dan Caine. A retired four-star general expressed serious dismay over this move to me tonight, calling it "sadly political and tragic for our nation."

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.

You have my commitment. If the Trump sends ANY amount of money to US citizens (like his dumb ass is suggesting) I will give 100% of that money to Marc Elias, and publicly document having done so. We all should.

This was from yesterday when it recovered a bit to a 400 point loss. Today it is at another 600 point loss and all markets are tumbling with the realization we may see a recession soon. Wait until the next couple of jobs and inflation reports hit. Buckle up, the ride is going to be bumpy.

@chrismurphyct.bsky.social: It’s 4am—still debating the Republicans’ billionaire tax giveaway. We offered an amendment to say no tax cut for those making over $10m. Every Republican voted no. So we tried $100m. Every Repub voted no. So we tried $500m! Every Republican a no. See what’s going on?

Pulling out the same type of device on a traffic stop that was used to beat police officers on Jan 6 is probably not the best plan.

These lists in Bluesky can be good and bad. I had been a long time follower of Rick Wilson and Adam Kinzinger and can no longer see their accounts as I believe I was added to a block list they subscribed to. 😠

Thought of this for no apparent reason. Bing was several years younger and was in better physical condition than the self proclaimed King. Just saying…
