Hire a Black woman. We tend to be very good at what we do because we simply are not allowed to be bad at it.

Once again I ask, what’s it going to take?
I don’t understand why I have so much Trouble napping
This is the way
Oh come onnnnnnn
not just that he has no constitutional authority, there isn't even any particular legal or institutional mechanism by which the president can make anyone treat this as anything other than a weird advisory opinion.
This is the type of person Trump pardoned. He proudly asserts that they should have injured a US Capitol Police Officer worse than they did on January 6th (@sergeantaqgo.bsky.social) had to medically retire). But MAGA supports law enforcement? Seriously? Then show me by condemning this guy.
I’m absolutely begging reporters to stop suggesting that Lisa Cook stated that she would use both properties as a principal residence on her mortgage APPLICATIONS Mortgage APPLICATIONS and mortgage AGREEMENTS are not the same thing We have no idea what she represented on the APPLICATIONS
Yayyyyyy
@hakeem-jeffries.bsky.social if Trump doesn't fire Kennedy, start impeachment proceedings Tuesday morning. Republicans can't stop you. Force them to vote! @normornstein.bsky.social
On one hand, reducing car use reduces urban pollution. But on the other, everyone likes it and cities become more livable
Trump did this
I ate candy today but didn’t take any pictures

Today, this chapter of the Weimar Republic’s history should be revisited. At a moment in which democracy is backsliding in places as varied as Hungary, India, Turkey, and the United States, it is a reminder that democracy often erodes slowly at first, via the gradual surrender of those entrusted..

People ask me how I stay sane when writing about this political moment is like marinating in sewage. Here is a non-exhaustive list Dogs Aa meetings Cake
I stay sane by going to a lot of aa meetings and cake
So America is the mark?
I follow @taniel.bsky.social for his excellent state level analysis on elections

Let’s just make sure we never regulate anything ever……
The good news is…. Just kidding
Not it chief
Everyday is like marinating oneself in sewage.
NEWS: CVS, the largest pharmacy chain in the country, is currently not offering Covid vaccines in 16 states and DC — even to people who meet the new FDA criteria — because the CDC hasn't signed off and isn't expected to do so (if it does so) for at least three weeks.

Operating an entire capital city on the paternalistic good faith of the federal government was always a huge mistake, one that is currently devastating D.C.’s residents. The perspective that the people of D.C. are real people and not some abstraction has been totally absent from The Discourse.
My latest in @newrepublic.com: an urgent plea to recognize the humanity of DC residents, their longtime second-class citizenship and need —should democracy not already be lost forever—for statehood. “Washington, D.C., residents are the most powerless canary in the most authoritarian coal mine.”
I’m pretty sure the 15th revoke is the charm
Abbe Lowell and I represent CDC Director #SusanMonarez. Contrary to govt statements, Dr. Monarez has neither resigned nor yet been fired. She will not resign. We have issued the following statement:

Of all the photos posted by the Strib related to the shooting at Annunciation Church, this was the one that got me the most. Maybe because we cant see the (presumably) mom’s face, so it seems more universal? arc.stimg.co/startribunem...?
The Minneapolis shooter was apparently a fan of several mass murderers who were motivated by the same "Great Replacement Theory" that has pretty much taken over the Republican Party.
Trump hasn't gone on vacation this summer, been throwing a lot at us. Recent polls suggest it isn't working: 37-55 Quinnipiac 40-56 Gallup 41-56 Strength In Numbers 👇 41-56 Econ/YG 40-54 Ipsos/Reuters S/I/N has Ds +8 in generic ballot, Q has Trump 41-56 on DC occupation. bsky.app/profile/gell...

this stuff is such a disgrace. a free citizen of a free country should be ashamed to engage in it.
Which way, National Guardsman?
This, from @erininthemorning.com's latest piece about Gavin Newsom helps explain why Newsom-loving libs' "erm, then enjoy Trump again!!!" stuff doesn't work on trans people who've been paying attention. www.erininthemorning.com/p/why-transg...
To highlight the same shit we’ve been saying for at least a month now, here are bullet points from Dr Stryker’s speech below to explain exactly why trans people will not be accepting Newsom. Dems, I’m begging y’all to elevate someone who meets the moment.
I’m trying to find someone to interview to find out more about the voter registration stuff. If anyone has any ideas….

SCOOP: Heather Honey, an election conspiracy theorist tied to anti-voting lawyer Cleta Mitchell, was appointed to a new “election integrity” position at DHS. Honey boasts a long history of promoting election conspiracies and has questioned the 2020 election results. From: @mattdcohen.bsky.social

The Supreme Court told him this with that terrible stupid immunity decision

Pretending not to hear the whole room chanting “shame” at her is the most Susan Collins things ever

Pennsylvania activist Heather Honey is now serving as the deputy assistant secretary for election integrity in the department’s Office of Strategy, Policy and Plans, an organizational chart on its website shows. The political appointment, first reported by Democracy Docket, shows how self-styled …
This is the only way to do it
Cost of Trump's D.C. Occupation: $1.1M per day. Cost to operate public housing for D.C.'s entire homeless population: $169,226 per day. It's not about what this country can or can’t afford. It’s about priorities.
A question in which a journalist asks Trump if she can carry a gun in Washington DC.
Democracy dies in dumb
This is so stupid
Here's Trump's approval rating by issue. This month, we added "Crime and public safety" to the battery. it's one of Trump's better issues, but he's still underwater (-3) on it with 48% of adults opposed. Trump remains unpopular on every issue except border security, including deportations and trade.
This is 100% correct.
A little on the nose for someone who was famously accused of plagiarism
Constituent: You need to take your head out of Trump’s ass.

It wasn’t just the aggressiveness of the pushback that made it effective; it was also the immediacy. There was no time for focus groups, no time for consultants to diminish or second-guess the messaging the way they did with Governor Tim Walz’s viral “weird … www.vanityfair.com/news/story/t...
This crisis turned Newsom and his office into de facto internet trolls: Instead of ignoring misinformation or taking the ever diminishing high road, Newsom’s office did everything—TV interviews, social media, podcasts. The pushback was hard and fast and relentless www.vanityfair.com/news/story/t...
“California was on fire. It was January 2025, and Gavin Newsom was battling the spread of misinformation online. Some of the hottest flames were being stoked by our troller in chief, Donald Trump, who wrote on Truth Social….” www.vanityfair.com/news/story/t...
Just like trumps war on universities isn’t about antisemitism, it’s about a power grab.
Worth wondering how these members of trumpworld got this information about trumps political enemies
I’m sorry, this sucks so much.
There’s a non-zero chance that Trump is destroying the country to distract from Epstein

even as the world is completely falling to pieces im still able to worry everyone’s mad at me which really shows the resilience of the neurotic human spirit
Omg, every damn day.
My heart breaks into 10,000 pieces once again.
There’s a war on black women because we keep trying to do crazy stuff like stay employed.
They’re making fun of the media referring to Kilmar Abrego Garcia as a Maryland man as they threaten to send him to Uganda, a country where he’s never lived. They’re simply fucking vile.
Japan Post just announced they will no longer deliver mail to the United States, joining Germany, Austria, Denmark, Italy, France, and Sweden.
Akshually, no you don’t
"The state of Illinois is ready to stand against this military deployment with every peaceful tool we have. We will see the Trump administration in court." Illinois Gov. JB Pritzker speaks out on Trump’s threat to send members of the National Guard into Chicago.
