My statement on @nadler.house.gov’s decision not to seek re-election next year.
Bad AI always kind of sounds like some white guy mansplaining.
“Big Loser is watching you” kinda vibe
Disbarred in NY and DC, multi million dollar judgment for defamation. Rudy is, ironically, what happens when windows get broken. Tracks.
No joke. Homeschooling should be illegal.
I can’t believe I’m saying this but, as ridiculous as he looks in that orange spackle, he always looks worse without it.

So, a war crime?

I'm not doing my own research on the next pandemic. I'm just not. I'm having enough trouble researching "handyman" for cripes sakes. So I guess I'm failing Democracy 101. So be it.

The second of a two book series. Well written, moving, firsthand accounts of the second US use of an atomic bomb on a largely civilian target. Highly recommend both volumes. (Though you can read either without the other.) #Nagasaki @mgsheftall.bsky.social
Too late for one, no concern for the other
Dear Americans, welcome to the thrilling game of ‘Did this dictator die or just disappear for a day?’ We’ve been playing it with Putin and Lukashenko for decades. Enjoy the suspense.
The True True Story of Raja the Gullible (and His Mother) is more than nice, it is a beautiful Persian carpet. Expertly and confidently woven. Often laugh out loud funny, often poignant. Simon however didn't ask about Boodie. I would have asked about Boodie. (8:48 - worth a listen)
If you're up for it, my interview with Scott Simon on Weekend Edition will air soon, at around 9:50 am. www.npr.org/programs/wee...
That sounds more like a curse than a cause of death. *shudders*

This was one of my favorite books when it first came out. He makes a solid well written argument and it’s worth a read whether you eventually do, or do not, lean into his theory.

Ah! I didn’t notice the background - thanks!
Not enough hours in a day my dude, just not enough hours.
WI is still one of the most gerrymandered states in the country. (Which I know you know.) We are still living under minority rule. Have been for 15+ years(?). That might factor into the difference in coverage. The battle here is still ongoing.

A President who has bragged about being the “king of debt”. It is in his best financial interest to lower rates his leveraged businesses pay. Why does no one square that circle or is it just me?

“Behind the scenes”, “privately”, “frustrated with” Bullshit. All of it. Republicans are in lockstep. If they are “privately” telling you otherwise, they are either lying to you or playing you - or both. Wake up.

If you could not foresee the debacle that is RFK Jr at the CDC then you do not deserve to be in a leadership position, or a position of public trust of any kind. If you saw this coming and voted to confirm him regardless, you should resign now. Looking at you Sen. Bill Cassidy.
“All” also meaning easy access to guns? Nah? Dammit. So close.

I feel safe. Well, correction, I *felt* safe until January 20th 2025.
For those unfamiliar with Fitzgerald, he was credibly implicated in the fake elector scheme to nullify the choice of WI voters. No charges were brought. His history in WI was / is decidedly undemocratic.

Jeezus, only seven months in, pace yourselves
remember folks, we cant have gun restrictions because if we do the federal government will occupy our streets, imprison people without due process, ship dissidents to foreign gulags and things of that nature
If something happened to be daughter and in response I was told that she is now "with the person who loved her the most," you could not hold me legally liable for what I would do next.

Or, hear me out, they could all just add “thank you for your attention to this matter” at the end of every unintelligible, indecipherable statement? Might work.
Does he remain a peripheral villain or does get some sort of redemption arc eventually?
Yep. Whole 🧵
Another possible explanation: millions of dumb, selfish people were deliberately lied to by a billionaire-funded right-wing propaganda apparatus with the explicit goal of enraging them & hurting the Dem administration. Dumb, selfish people believed lies. Doesn't that ring a little more true?
Framing the narrative only happens with a complicit media. And lort knows they have that.
Honestly, this may be one of the most important media graphs I've ever seen. The claim: Democrats keep using annoying words. The data: Republicans CLAIMS Democrats use them, which then becomes the narratives. Then centrists attack DEMS for things GOPer CLAIM they say, not GOP for making stuff up.
Trump doesn't seem to see that some people are still immune to his threats. Jack White criticized Trump's Oval Office decor. The White House then called White a "washed-up, has-been loser... masquerading as a real artist." And White, undeterred, posted an absolutely blistering takedown in response.
“Real officers do not wear ski masks.” Seems like it *should* be true …
Probably just grabbed the wrong [REDACTED LOCKER ROOM TALK]
Been saying that for a while. This behavior goes way back. Back even before “he’s been shaking a lot of hands lately” excuse. Something is wrong and it looks to be getting worse.
John Bolton should declare his run for Presidency to get ahead of this whole thing.
Now you have the day off!

For no reason, chronic venous insufficiency can be a result of chronic amphetamine usage
“he was a gentleman in all respects.” She’s either lying or failed the cognitive test isn’t aware who the current POTUS is. That description isn’t even believable.
A reminder - these are in lieu of releasing the files (redacted or not). In other words, this is a distraction, a smoke screen. Pay it the mind it deserves but don't lose focus.
He's been looking a little rough around the edges as my father (mother?) used to say. Ridden hard and put away wet another one that applies.
Aside: casual Friday has gotten out of hand
He can touch it. He can sit on it.
"No one is above the law." Except of course, Trump. Do not become inured to these thuggish tinpot moves.
Whoa, dude. Micro aggression much?
You do not have to like John Bolton to see this for what it is.
You should be mad about the FBI raiding John Bolton’s house not because you love John Bolton but because you’re opposed to Trump using the FBI to intimidate his critics
Somehow John Roberts will be okay with one and not the other - that’s my fear. Hochul and Whitmer need to pile on for insurance purposes.

John Deere laying off workers. Pepsi hiking prices. Sony raising PS5 costs. Electric bills up 10%. Welcome to the Trump economy. All going really well, right?

Routing through the system took 2 years from initial visit, through various referrals, to (minor) surgery. I’d be happy to compare that to universal healthcare anytime.
Everyone knows upfront Trump is never going to pay for this ballroom, right? That taxpayers will ultimately be stuck with the bill, right?
