The best way for Democrats to show that they are different from Donald Trump is to elect a mayor who is the closest thing that exists to a Democratic version of Donald Trump.

We're tired, and we don't want to do it anymore, but we're calling our senators, even if they are GOP, and telling them to vote no on the big, beautiful tax bill. It's possibly coming up on a vote this week. We are saying no, no, no, and no.

BREAKING: The president made the announcement on social media, but officials in Israel and Iran have yet to announce it for themselves. His post came hours after Iran launched on attack on a U.S. base in Qatar.

I didn't watch Woman of the Hour when it came out on Netflix because I thought it would be too upsetting, so I watched it this weekend when I am upset about all the other things, and it's still too upsetting.

Seeing a lot of skepticism and second guessing over our decision to bomb Iran and its like you don’t even trust our reality show president or our vice president funded by a blood drinking weirdo or our secretary of defense who hosted Fox & Friends or the guy who is literally from MTVs the Real World

Huh—I guess he tweeted about it so often back when Obama was President because he actually thought it would be a good political strategy.

I worry that escalating war with Iran will be used to whip up more fear and hate for non-white immigrants, particularly those of Arab descent, and be used for unjust deportations.

If you were too young in 2003 here is what Bush told the American people: 1) The Iraq War won’t cost a lot of money 3) We won’t need a lot of troops 4) We’ll bring peace and freedom to Iraq 5) We’ll find WMDs 6) We’ll be welcomed as liberators 7) It will be easy 8) It won’t take long All lies.

Look I am always here for a religion angle but "I want to thank everybody and in particular God, I want to just say we love you God" is a weird-ass thing to say at a briefing

If I'm texting you Team America memes, it means the US bombed Iran, and I don't know if you know, but I don't want to ruin your evening in case you don't know, and you are over the age of 40.

Called my reps this week to let them know I don't support US military in Iran nor do I support US military in L.A., which felt nuts when I said into their voicemails and feels even more nuts as I write it out.

They think they can fool people using the Iraq playbook again. Well, I know at least one person who has something to say about being fooled twice.

This sounds like a bit but I’m being serious: kids using chat gpt for their homework are denying themselves the invaluable experience of learning how to bullshit their way through a problem. You drink some caffeine the night before and figure it the fuck out. That’s a skill. You need it in life.
