He nails it.

Amen to that.

No -

We need Pete Buttigieg as a clear messenger, more than ever.

These absolute morons are going to destroy the United States. If you’re in favor of the US leaving NATO, you either don’t want the US to succeed, or you don’t know wtf NATO does. Worth noting that Mike Lee voted to expand NATO in 2022.

This is what oligarchy looks like.

The greatest business battle EVER to be fought will come when President Elon starts trying to implement AI for federal processes. The battle will be fought over which company’s AI will be used by the feds. This is a zero sum battle that will create more chaos than this country has ever seen

Incompetence in Washington puts every American at risk, no matter how you voted. No one should be happy that the DOGE team - the same folks who randomly published classified U.S. security information online today - wants access to your bank account & Social Security numbers.

I’m going to continue to work until my computer access is revoked,” Lennox said. “Then I’m going to volunteer. I’m going to keep working as best I can to support the veterans. That’s what I’m here for.” taskandpurpose.com/news/veteran...

One of our supporters shared this with us—people are getting creative tonight!

1000 probationary Department of Veterans Affairs employees fired. OIT, Procurement, and Veterans Benefits Administration. They are lying and saying it won’t affect support for veterans. news.va.gov/press-room/v...

Dear @Doge If there is nothing to hide. Hide nothing

It was an honor to join the Minnesota Newspaper Association Convention and speak about the importance of local news. We're lucky to have a paper in all 87 counties. They make sure every community in Minnesota is informed, connected, and well-served.

Elon Musk is a terrible president.

These are the clowns Congress refuses to stop.

Big cats have the same quirky behavior as house cats.

This is a reminder that no one can convince Trump voters to no longer support Trump, better than Trump can.

I honestly believe our most powerful position in a toxic time that feeds on cynicism, apathy,& despair is to genuinely care and act for a better world. Cynicism is our enemy. We should check it, incl. on the left. It’s not intellectually superior. It’s the virus they’re trying to infect us with. NO

This press conference on the DC crash is an embarrassment. Just a lot of rambling.

Gosh, I remember when we had an actual president instead of a loudmouth bully who won't take responsibility for his actions.

FROM THE ARCHIVES: Afghan scene, 2012 A man carries a bundle of brush past Afghan and coalition soldiers patrolling through the main bazaar in the Shegal district of Afghanistan on Feb. 22, 2012.

Jim Acosta announces on air that he's leaving CNN and says, "it is never a good time to bow down to a tyrant ... don't give in to the lies."

If you made this argument back in the day you were smugly dismissed as an economically illiterate lefty. www.theatlantic.com/ideas/archiv...

I’ll never get over that all of this was avoidable and our kids could’ve had a better future had voters just made the obviously rational choice in November. It’s water under the bridge now. But what the fuck, people.

@ricophoto.bsky.social Ditched leon’s site last November.

I have and will continue to. But you know why I say it here ? Because @bsky.app is 30m strong and growing quickly. The collective wisdom and influence of users here is far greater than any individual democrat. I can't say it enough. Bluesky can be the influence that can counter RW media.

This is the face of courage and compassion. Thank you Bishop Mariann Edgar Budde for speaking truth to power on behalf of the marginalized.

Gotta love the British press.

View on my last visit to Sherrod’s Senate office in Washington. So much change was coming for our country. But I heard our grandchildren’s laughter nearby and felt the hope in that. Life is never one thing. We are in this together, friends & kind strangers. Knowing that gives me so much strength.

More than 200 executive orders expected tomorrow. Not one of them will lower the price of eggs.

💯

Let’s be real. The only reason Trump is moving his inauguration indoors is so he can claim he would have had the biggest crowds were it not for the weather. And his hair, probs.

“Now it’s your turn to stand guard - may you all be the keeper of the flame. May you keep the faith.” 😭

The facts are, the ACA saved millions with pre-existing conditions and set standards for care. But now, more than a decade later, with what we now know, it’s time to take the insurance companies out of the mix. The subsidies they get are enormous. We don’t need them as middlemen.

Sen. Slotkin asking Hegseth if there is ever an illegal order that could come from the Commander-in-Chief & if he’d refuse to comply, and Hegseth refuses to answer the question.

Fucking HILARIOUS that these hypocritical Christian Senators have so much forgiveness in their souls for Pete Hegseth abusing women and cheating on his wives but they couldn't find any grace for private citizen Hunter Biden, who isn't running for anything. Give me a fucking break.

Pete Hegseth is the dumber version of Brett Kavanaugh.

It's an old song. But I think it has a vibe for today's stress. youtu.be/gp5JCrSXkJY?...

The reality is that Salesmanship is the differentiation between the two parties. The Dems couldn't sell dollar bills for 50c Trump has found his audience and can sell them dollar bills for $5 When everything is a story the algorithm flashes at you as you scroll, you better be selling fast

Sometimes I miss the time when there was only one idiot per village.
