Looks like we did it! Schumer says Senate Democrats won't vote for the House Bill. thehill.com/homenews/sen...

🚨 Everyone needs to call their Dem Senator right now. They are starting to cave. Tell them: 1. Vote NO on Cloture AND 2. Vote NO on the Republican spending bill. Don’t let them pivot to reconciliation. GOP doesn’t need Dem votes on that and they know it. TODAY is the showdown. 🤳🏽: (202) 224-3121

One of the disturbing reactions to the Mahmoud Khalil arrest is people making things up that he did to justify it that even the Trump admin doesn't claim he did. People just see him as the *type* of person who did the things they're mad about, so punishing him for it is acceptable. Lynching logic.

Did Fetterman actually get replaced by a doppelganger at Walter Reed, or was he always terrible and I didn't notice?

Adult in the room voice: Disappearing an American for the content of their speech is wrong, BUT...!

To demonstrate their opposition to Trump, Democrats will only give standing ovations to the parts of the State of the Union about deporting people.

A bunch of Democratic strategists in a room, parsing First They Came by Pastor Martin Niemöller to determine when they have to start speaking out so there will be enough people left to speak out for them

My feelings on the James Bond movies:

How much respect is due a senator who doesn't fulfill his oath of office to defend the Constitution?

PepsiCo: Surely, fecklessly caving on DEI will keep us safe! Reality: www.foxbusiness.com/media/pepsi-... Plus a real "Now Martin's scoring off me" moment in the comments, where the anti-DEI crowd is dunking on Pepsi for the lack of conviction in their beliefs about inclusion.

Growers of grapes for wine have lost more than $4 Billion dollars due to smoke damage to grapes from wildfires. The USDA Agricultural Research Service was working with the growers to get better testing and find solutions. Musk fired them all: www.wineenthusiast.com/culture/indu...

The worst people in the world are going to use the NCAA's new policy banning trans women from women's sports to attack any student athlete who isn't "feminine enough". This is going to fall hardest on women of color.Then what's the NCAA going to do, send inspectors into the locker rooms to check?

This AP News story, about militants attacking polio vaccine workers in Pakistan because they think vax drives are a Western plot, is missing the context that the CIA did use fake vaccines as cover for DNA tests to try to find bin Laden: apnews.com/article/paki... www.thelancet.com/journals/lan...

Has anyone else found that their Senator's voicemail message is too garbled to make out? I called both of my Senators on the phone, but the message was full of static and dropped sound.
