Nobody special. Endeavoring to persevere.

Remember when COVID hit & some experts warned that 100k could die, and most people, including other experts said that was alarmist…then a million died and we shrugged?

When I tell you the US mil will be shooting Americans in the street it sounds alarmist; in 3 yrs we’ll shrug and say “of course.”

The singular goal of all future US politics is to ensure Trumpism is defeated and cannot again take root here, and everything that serves that end is to be considered and prioritized. It's a holistic organizing principle, from a Green New Deal to Nuremberg 2 to expanding the court to Reconstruction.

Vance is a charmless freak who nobody likes. He’s not some fucking mastermind waiting in the wings who will rise to power and be more terrible than any of us can imagine. I don’t want him to be president but Trump is the glue and Trump needs to go before anything else.

pretty clear bright line today, anyone in power who isn't doing everything they can to remove him from office deserves handcuffs when this is all over. that includes any democrat who votes for anything he wants

people split hairs about the genocide classification all the time, but Trump unambiguously wrote down his intent to destroy, in whole or in part, a national group, and then he broadcast it out

The main frustration is that the energy Dems take to pretty much anything does not match the absolute terror the Dem base lives in every day and the Dem base is beyond desperate for someone to match their emotions and urgency, and we frankly never see it in the supposed interests of decorum

There is a path. It’s the path that Michael Vick walked. He has worked with the Humane Society for the last 17 years to educate folk about animal cruelty. He says he’ll do that work for the rest of his life.

Call me when Louis or Kanye devotes even one weekend to making reparation.

A single long fixed term for Supreme Court justices, mandatory retirement age (but not term limits) for Congress, term limits plus a mandatory retirement age (to complement the minimum age) for president.

Plus a ban on insurrectionists in any of these offices.

The Supreme Court did not strike down conversion therapy bans today.

Not nationwide. Not in Colorado. Not anywhere.

Here's what actually happened in Chiles v. Salazar—and why the coverage you're seeing serves the conservative legal movement more than it serves you.

Just a year ago, we heard reducing the deficit was so important Elon Musk had to fire as many scientists, forest rangers and Black women on the government’s payroll that he could find.

Reminder: this guy couldn’t get clearance in Trump 1 and we still don’t know why. He already took $3b from the Saudis shortly after Trump left office. He has no official government job but is being allowed to act as an “envoy,” negotiating and speaking for the United States.

Sports bans aren't the destination, they're the foundation. Once you have a law that codifies trans girls as "male" for purposes of athletic competition, you have a precedent. And that precedent gets cited in the next case. And the one after that. Bathrooms. Passports. Employment.

Also, it should go without saying that the sports bans aren't really about sports. They're about getting "transgender girls are male" written into the text of a law so that the next time someone sues over bathroom access, or passport accuracy, or employment discrimination, there's a statute ...

Trump is today telling every member of the US military that it is ok with him if Russia helps Iran kill them--every one.

Once again Americans, Trump looks at US military personnel as suckers and losers that he can sacrifice for his own glory and profit. This is who leads

TAPPER: You know that if you vote against an additional $50 billion of funding for operations in Iran, that vote will be cast as you voting against the troops.

CHRIS MURPHY: Come on. The American people do not want this war. If you support the troops, you should be voting against this war.

Even if it takes years, we have to bring EVERYONE who made this happen to justice. No moving on, no letting this go.

Revenge is good enough motivation for me personally, but the nobler and important reason is to ensure that anyone who thinks of doing this again knows they’ll rot in prison for it.

Counterpoint: Dems have won, I think, every special election since Trump took office and candidates saying Abolish ICE and trans rights are human rights are winning at the ballot box, so, WSJ, why don't you take your flunky and dangle

Her father fled China because he organized student protests during Tiananmen. He was a political refugee. The story of this family, and Alysa Liu, would have played out very differently today.

Whatever you think of Spanberger - and I have some policy based reservations - Republicans have no idea how to handle a Democrat who doesn’t give a shit about their feelings.
