I was feeling despondent, but after hearing this rousing call to action, I’m optimistic for the first time in months.

I understand they are debating having a vote on forming a bipartisan committee to propose topics to include in the letter.
I guess this means he also has a bottom political advisor.

I canceled after the bribe/ Colbert sacrifice.
So far radio silence from these relevant Cong Dems: @reed.senate.gov (Ranking Member, SASC) @shaheen.senate.gov (Ranking Member, SCFR) @adamsmith.house.gov (Ranking Members, HASC) @meeks.house.gov (Ranking Member, HFAC) Dems - just sleep walking through it all.
Smart move. Now Florida can decrease their school budgets and spend more on police.
"This is how American tyranny dies. Not through violence but through legal friction at every level of government. Not through waiting for federal institutions to self-correct but through states refusing to cooperate with unconstitutional authority."
That was fantastic
Am I too pessimistic to assume that the case will soon be dismissed with the court’s deepest apologies?
Give her a "10 people who have learned their lesson this week" segment
I can predict the winning powerball numbers in 5 seconds. I have not been right a single time but have produced each prediction in less than 5 seconds.
Robert F. Kennedy Jr. filling an IV bag from a murky puddle near Trump National's sixth tee. "The president needs parameciums," he tells the assembled media. "It's the only treatment proven to work in real testing." His golf cart is piled high with dozens of dead birds.
The person in this photo attacked a volunteer at a protest at Union Station in DC. The volunteer would like to press charges. Can Maryland and DC friends help identify her, please and thank you.
He only recently learned the word “groceries” so, no.
Supposedly smart people with furrowed brows trying to understand the mystery of why trump won’t defy Putin. 🙄
At least he didn't wish us good luck, then I'd really be nervous
I really don’t know how you keep up with all of this, especially something moving as quickly as this one. Amazing. Thank you.
I got arrested yesterday! (real drop off from being a corporate law firm associate five months ago. or upgrade.) I was blocking vehicles leaving from ICE’s Broadview, IL, staging ground and de facto detention center at 1930 Beach St. full statement (for now) below.
The appropriate response to this is not a follow up question. It is: "My god, you are absolutely insane." End of interview.
He never maintains a train of thought for this long. That’s the tell.
If Melania was at Walter Reed, we know for sure trump was not.
I’m sure she does anyways
Does the Book of Revelations talk about the beast disappearing or dying and then coming back? I lost my faith a long time ago but we sure seem to be checking a lot of boxes the last ~10 yrs or so.
On the contrary, I'd think it'd offer a sliver of reassurance globally.
I’m sure the dozens, maybe even hundreds!, of people that survive will be comforted by that explanation.
“We did all of this with our hands tied behind our backs,” said a spokesperson for the families. “Even with the FBI pushing back and President Trump invoking state secrets, we created an overwhelming picture of Saudi Arabia’s role.”
Hey Chat - can we PLEASE stop with the sandwich puns? Ugh.
He’ll have mock naval battles in the Tidal Basin, Colosseum-style.
I dare you to go to Annunciation School and tell our grieving community, in effect, guns don’t kill kids, antidepressants do. Just shut up. Stop peddling bullshit. You should be fired.
Why not just announce that everyone is now a millionaire.
How is this going to get spun to MAGA? Are these doctors going to be charged with mortgage fraud? Are any of them naturalized citizens?
Bill Cassidy should be the first R to join you.
Great name for a band, though.
Counterpoint: Bullshit.
I live in DC. If they’re looking for something to do, my yard could use a little tidying up.
Somebody give those boys a couple of trash bags
Gaynor: I will survive Bluesky: Not on my watch you won’t
Also: Your call volumes have been heavier than normal for longer than I’ve been alive.
This is why it always bothers me when people complain about jury duty and try to get out of it. Yes it’s a hassle, and yes most cases are garden variety civil disputes. But it’s one of the most direct, powerful ways ordinary people have to make their voice heard.
Pass
I assumed it meant: in *causing* domestic unrest. I suppose that’s not what it means. But still feels right.
A District Court stayed the order, but the court of appeals vacated the stay.

Apropos of nothing, a reminder that German stock markets kept climbing in an almost uninterrupted fashion in the run-up to WW2. Investors are really, really bad at pricing serious institutional and political risks.
They’re joining ICE.
"I dislike Biden because [thing Trump did], and I miss Trump because [thing Biden did]. I voted for Trump again because I want [thing Harris promised], but I hope Trump doesn't do [core Trump campaign promise]."
Do that with literally any question.
Years??? A generation, minimum.
I live in DC and have been afraid to leave my house for over a year. But now that they’ve finally busted that person driving without a permit, I can finally breathe easy.

He’s currently provoking a war in DC.
I don’t know what the magic number is, but I think I’d be ok with accumulating enough money to ensure your kids don’t have to work - or are at least well taken care of. $500 million is enough to care for several generations.
Media reporters: Trump is still adjudicated criminally as a fraud and civilly as a fraud. Get your act together.
Really. Experts said this. 🙄
“To understand Russia's territorial demands on Ukraine, Americans should imagine losing several of their large states at once. If you gave up Florida, Georgia, South Carolina, North Carolina, even Virginia, and then bumping into Maryland" -Finnish President Alexander Stubb.
They’re looking for any excuse to escalate.
Haha. I just posted it too before I saw this. Thought of that song immediately even though I haven’t heard it in a gajillion years.

This is a far more accurate description of the ruling. Do better. bsky.app/profile/kyle...
The flag has one star for each new Dem district in CA.
I thought the best evidence that the invasion of DC has nothing to do with the crime emergency in DC is the fact that there is not a crime emergecy in DC.
Looking for the paragraph that points out that crime is down, trump was convicted of 34 felonies, and he pardoned people convicted for trying to overthrow the government. I’m sure it’s in there and I just missed it.
Also applies to scrap wood.
Does this policy apply to black people living in Anacostia? Nevermind. I know the answer to that.
I, too, remember a day when “fuck you asshole” was slang for “thank you”
Texas rushing to pass a bill requiring all voters to show a valid license plate.
Google results have really gone downhill. Not only the crappy AI summaries, but the constant nagging to login to Google. On my iPhone, Google keeps trying to get me to solve a captcha if not not logged in. I switched to DDG.
Wow Jerry is really tiny
“During an interview with police, Carlquist allegedly admitted to pouring glitter into the AC vents and damaging the windshield, but said her ex was "overdue" for the other damage, per WKYT.”
This, actually works. For me at least.

Soldiers in MRAPs rolling around Union Station—blocks from the Capitol—seems silly, performative, and useless. But it raises a much darker question: What would Trump have done on Jan. 6, 2021 if he had possessed then the kind of control over local law enforcement that he seeks to acquire today?
Wait til Melania hears about this.
Signed, “Donald’s Wife”
Opened link, assailed with ads for The Washington Post. Definitely did not see it's path from here. Meanwhile...
Anyone living off inherited wealth is a parasite.
Kinda prefer the original myself
(That was a joke)
Totally makes sense. :)
Was not aware that :) was sarcastic. Going to have to revisit every conversation I’ve had in the past year.
Guarantee a framed photo of this meeting goes up in the White House in a place where Trump can point it out to visitors while commenting about Putin’s diminutive size.
And he must be the only one who can see them.
He was actually serious. Earnest, even.
“I think they’re going to arrest him.” Mark Halperin predicts Trump will have Putin arrested today in Alaska for being a war criminal. Note: Halperin’s record of predicting in advance what’s going to happen with the Trump administration has been remarkably accurate.
Will be interesting to see how this develops now that the trump administration has control over the government’s weather machines
This is not a massive decision or any kind of change. Costco has never carried mifepristone in its pharmacies. An anti-abortion group is taking credit for something that didn't happen, possibly to generate disingenuous left-wing ire against one of the few corporations that hasn't gone MAGA.
Finally saw where that came from.
I actually live in DC and it took me several minutes to find parking in Georgetown so you can’t convince me crime isn’t up.
I know you’re in the minority party, but people are looking for leadership. “Don't look away. Don't stay silent.” is not leadership.
Just block and move on

Link to opinion pls?
Fairly sure Donhondo was saying Spritzker talks like a normal person.
If everyone visiting the beach would just bring a bucket with them and bail out a few gallons, that’d probably help quite a bit too.
