I’ve missed this man’s voice. Also, love that he normalizes masking. Can’t think of a better-informed person for the job.

WaPo Page One: “If you’re going to just yell at me, that’s not going to be an effective town hall,” McCormick said .. “But we’re pissed!” a woman shouted. #GA07 www.washingtonpost.com/politics/202...

Yet another reminder that businesspeople are manifestly unfit for elected office "Give us your minerals or we'll let Russia kill you all" isn't negotiating. It's extortion.

Illegally cutting cancer research and meals on wheels to pay for PR ads for themselves.

WYOMING: “Thank you, Madam chairman.” “I prefer ‘Mister’ chairman.” “Well you all voted preferred pronouns cannot be compelled speech.”

it is really notable the extent to which state Dems have been significantly better than federal Dems at telling Trump to go fuck himself

Gov. Janet Mills stands up to King Mushroom. Proud to know you, Janet. Also, where are you on #BlueSky? (Really, she would never remember me. We knew each other in the bad old LePage days, though.)

Marco Rubio has instructed USAID to claim this is all a lie.

This is a VERY dangerous man.

Can’t recommend this OTM ep enough: www.wnycstudios.org/podcasts/otm...

This is really something

This is in fact a real picture and it will work nicely in the ads next year about the military families devastated by Elon's illegal firings.

'Volodymyr Zelenskyy broke the fundamental rule of the new global reality: he told the truth about Donald Trump.' Analyse van @julianborger.bsky.social in @theguardian.com www.theguardian.com/world/2025/f...

STOP protesting Democrats START protesting Republicans

Reminder: Zelenskyy refused to leave Kyiv as bombs fell. Donold hid in a bunker from protesters with cardboard signs.

Two things 1. He’s protesting to protect a library’s autonomy & its welcoming message. 2. This is Orange County, California, birthplace of the John Birch Society, formerly USA’s most radical right wing bastion, a group, almost quaint compared to the current New Nazis, that still gives MAGA cover.

Have you annoyed your Congresspeople today? ☎️📧

Interesting that @fortune.com has covered #Covid19 consistently & thoroughly, i.e. with no bended knee to anti-vaxxers or the Felon, & it apparently is still greenlit.

You mean the same avian vaccine that has kept most of Europe mostly free of this nonsense for years?

Wow: City of Clarksdale, Mississippi got a court order yesterday directing a newspaper to delete an editorial criticizing city officials -- without a hearing. Here's the TRO issuing the prior restraint:

"Putin is a war criminal and should spend the rest of his life in prison - if he is not executed." – base from Senate Armed Services Committee Chairman Roger Wicker.

All news outlets failing to use the words “Russian Dictator” before Putin’s name every time they mention him are collaborating. #media #usjournalism #journos

Hey, @msnbc.com. Why do you allow your readers to share articles on Twitter, Facebook, LinkedIn, and most other major platforms — but NOT Bluesky? Asking for nearly 32 million users.

People tagging twitter accounts on their posts on this site is going to murder me

Pal-ing around with only the best dictators.

Anyone, anyone?

God this is a beautiful murder to witness

That’s how you write a headline, people.
