I think this is the disconnect. Schumer still focused on POLITICAL STRATEGY. Democratic grassroots focused on the SUBSTANTIVE HARM being done to the United States.

Okay, not that this matters AT ALL since the base idea here is fucking insanely rude, stupid, and ridiculous... but the idea that THE WHOLE COUNTRY OF CANADA WOULD BE A SINGLE STATE IS INCOMPREHENSIBLE. His complete lack of awareness of the structure of one of our closest allies is mind-boggling.

Armed government agents went to the home of a lawful resident of the United States without a warrant and arrested him over the content of his speech. This is a five-alarm fire for civil liberties.

Somehow this story is even worse than it first appeared: “When the acting head of the Bureau of Reclamation did not relent, the DOGE agents flew to California with the goal of turning the pumps on themselves, in what people familiar with the incident characterized as a stunt for a ‘photo op.’”

Yes! The people defending this as trolling don’t understand what trolling is. “Libs will get offended by ANYTHING these days” only works if the thing you’re doing isn’t offensive!

Every scientist, long before they were a scientist, was a little kid who stood in front of a fish tank or stared up at the stars or turned over a rock to look at the bugs underneath and said “wow”. On the best days, working in science still feels like that.

Remember how Trump said he "sent the military in and opened up the water flow" in CA? It appears he forced the Army Corps to just drain reservoirs into recently flooded farmland without telling local farmers or leaders. “In 25 years, I’ve never seen anything like this.” sjvwater.org/decision-to-...

This is not business as usual. It’s not just a change in funding priorities going forward; it is the reneging on funding agreements and is profoundly disruptive for even those grants that will be found to be compliant. Meanwhile, trainees who often live paycheck to paycheck are going unpaid.

It takes the Acela 6.75 hours to travel from Boston to DC, and in Japan this would take less than 3. This is arguably the most important economic center of the world, with trains as slow as 80 years ago. There’s no “golden age of America” with rail this slow.

Bradley Beal and Jusuf Nurkic are to be removed from the starting lineup. Ryan Dunn and Mason Plumlee will take their places. This is big news for the Suns who have been needing to find a new direction. Is this for trade purposes or something else? #NBA #Basketball #Suns #NBASky #NBABluesky

I’m enthusiastically endorsing Ben Wikler for DNC chair because I know him and he knows how to win. Ben and his team have been organizing and communicating all over, nonstop, in a tough state. Tammy Baldwin won. 14 state legislative flips. Let’s do this everywhere.
