Agreed (once again, Mina Kimes knows ball).

I hope America is as lucky as the delta jet - everyone survives but the right wing explodes

So, any bets on how soon all of these firings and cuts hit people who aren't "on here" or don't pay attention to the news? I ask because I have an anecdote...

Dish soap is stuck under the sink, help me parliamentarian

When the clock struck zero on Sunday night, history was made as Assistant Performance Coach Autumn Lockwood became the first Black female coach to win the Super Bowl. www.phillytrib.com/sports/footb...

Unless it’s this AI, they need to can it:

This is roughly the total accumulative cost of every sex change surgery ever provided by federal prisons btw

Oh, so many accountability pieces (please keep clicking and subscribing we are blameless)

This is wrong and it will not shield the NCAA from other unacceptable demands further down the road. Indefensible decision, dangerously shortsighted.

Nikki’s a must-watch.

These actions are all based on a shameful canard. Sports should belong to everyone, and trans rights are human rights.

Before folks start comparing this to European autocracies, pause and ask why so many folks - Black and white - didn’t know about the Tulsa Race Massacre. Or the Wilmington Coup. Or the Colfax Massacre. Or the Elaine, Arkansas massacre. Erasure has been a key tactic of white supremacy. Right here.

Serves me right - only several hours after having a sliver of hope that he wasn’t a complete coward. If Goodell (or anybody else with a publicly influential position) believes this will protect him, it’s merely delaying confrontation. I wouldn’t take that bet.

Q: “You’re talking about 🇺🇸 taking over a sovereign territory. What authority would allow you to do that? Are you talking about a permanent occupation?” TRUMP: “Yes.” NETANYAHU: “He has a different idea. I think it’s worth paying attention to.”

NEW: I heard from federal employees across various agencies about the internal chaos they're experiencing because of Trump and how they feel going forward in their jobs. A clear theme? They are scared - and also pissed off and hunkering down to fight. "Fuck that." www.huffpost.com/entry/federa...

Bringing Model UN vibes to a gun fight.

Even *Roger Goodell*, of all people, seems to get it. A tepid soundbite isn’t good enough, but this is encouraging.

writing about AfD, esp about the Holocaust, and not using the words Nazi or Neonazi is an editorial choice

way ahead of you go birds

Hi all, We’re still here at OPM. We have a situation where we MIGHT, and I do mean, MIGHT have four of Elon’s people blocked from the building. Can we get press or a member of Congress down here? We’ve blocked them for two hours and they keep coming back and trying to go in.

All hail gun-toting FDR ghola

Grant Holloway rules

Correct.

This is amazing, thank you

A thought that goes well with coffee. Thanks, Thank you

I hope the new Executive Order To Combat Anti-Semitism has a tip line so I can report a dangerous foreigner from an extremist state, filling the country with his anchor babies, who engages in public Nazi salutes and endorses anti-Semitic theories about the Great Replacement

We are at DCA this morning sharing the latest updates on last night’s collision: www.youtube.com/live/-NOh_jy...

congratulations to catherine cortez masto, john fetterman, ruben gallego, maggie hassan, mark kelly, jon ossoff, gary peters, jacky rosen, jeanne shaheen, elissa slotkin, mark warner, & raphael warnock for being collaborators in our new offshore labor camp where work will set people free.

Ah, a rough day for a free speech appreciator

Thousands in Germany have taken the streets protest the rise of the Elon Musk and Kremlin supported neo-Nazi party AfD, ahead of the general election.

freezing a third of the federal budget is nearly too big to grasp, but the OMB memo *probably* sinks the economy if adhered to long? someone will pitch “sensible compromise” like “just ban trans healthcare” vs “economic ruin” & when that feels sensible, i want you to sit with what you’re ok with.

updating "are you better off than four years ago" to the much more appropriate "are you better off than seven days ago"

I love lobster and pretending to be concerned about things

wow he really did this. I'm going full (to steal from @jamellebouie.net ) social democratic George Will here. We need a wealth tax because the wealthy have no sense of fucking decorum or manners and cannot conduct themselves with dignity.
