holy shit -- Schiff ties Trump's judicial nominees in knots by asking them who won the 2016 before *before* asking them who won in 2020, which results in them sounding like election deniers about Trump's victories!
Shirley Chisholm was the boss. The clarity and focus on the issues is clear as a bell. Wish we could find another Shirley Chisholm today. Maybe her doppelgänger is out there. We need to find her.
Heather Cox Richardson (TDPR)Representative Shirley Chisholm, 1972: "[W]e have looked in vain to the Nixon administration for the courage, the spirit, the character, and the words to lift us, to bring out the best in us, to rekindle in each of us our faith in the American dream."
It's Wednesday, & you're wondering: "What were the smallest, & the largest, annual eel-rent in 12th C. England?" Well, I'm here to help! The smallest was 22 eels, from Hoddeston, for Sir Geoffrey Mandeville. The largest was 75,000 eels, from Harmston, for Earl Hugh of Chester. 🗃️🧪
Everything Trump touches turns into diarrhea these days. Trump doesn't have the juice - and people who live outside the MAGA and DC's elite political media bubble - can see it. PS: I have so many questions about this MAGA Amir Hassan - a self-proclaimed “America First Patriot" - guy.

for reasons that only make sense if you're insane, a TPUSA kid complaining about burrito costs on xitter has the GOP's biggest divas going for each other's throats.
Promising free DoorDash for all would probably be a winning 2028 presidential platform at this point. No, I don't know how you pay for it. Tax Elon Musk personally into oblivion or whatever. Maybe we can bribe SCOTUS to look the other way.

NEWS: Rep. Chuck Edwards (R-NC) just dropped out of his re-election race at 3:32 a.m.m. He said he’s done running but will finish out his term. This after the House Ethics Committee found “substantial reason to believe [he] violated House Rules related to sexual harassment and hostile workplaces.”
The OIG report “highlights the obvious: Corporations — not small immigrant-oriented healthcare providers, or undocumented immigrants illegally taking benefits — are responsible for the vast majority of alleged fraud in the American health care system.”
Congresswoman Delia C. RamirezBig corporations and their lackeys in the Trump administration scapegoat immigrants to divert attention from their theft and abuse. While they lie to us about the problem they are the ones stealing from working people. Plain and simple, they want us divided and distracted while they rob us.
This is how it's done. Fight it out in the primary, and then link arms to defeat the common enemy in the general. Great demonstration of post-primary leadership from @mallorymcmorrow.bsky.social.
This is pretty much just describing fascism, right?
Greg SargentIt's funny that Jeanine Pirro brought a box of evidence to WH to persuade Trump. He wants her to consciously *throw out* exculpatory facts and *knowingly* prosecute innocent people. So facts can't persuade him by definition. Me and @barbmcquade.bsky.social on this: newrepublic.com/article/2139...
Congrats to Abbas! It was an honor to follow your leadership as an Uncommitted delegate.
#StupidSuezThe co-founder of the 2024 National Uncommitted Movement, Abbas Alawieh, decisively won his primary to become a State Senator in Michigan. Abbas was endorsed by both Bernie Sanders and Gretchen Whitmer. Abbas Alawieh also privately met with former VP Kamala Harris last month upon her request.
An actually underrated potential positive for Dems in light of Abdul’s victory is that it gives traditionally centrist or otherwise poor Dems on Palestine on an easy out for polarizing against AIPAC and pro-Israel politics— they’re trying to cost Dems the Senate.
Just like a self driving Tesla…
The Washington PostThe discarded upper portion of a rocket launched by Elon Musk’s SpaceX last year was expected to unintentionally crash into the moon early Wednesday, adding yet another crater to the surface of our nearest neighbor at around 5,400 miles an hour.
It's holidays. Here there are 10 videos each one labelled 'Rhyme Time' which are sequences of little poems that I recite twice to encourage under-fives to join in and learn. I indicate which books they come from. This is a great 'bridge' into literacy. www.youtube.com/c/MichaelRos...

Your little oopsie "mistakes" had me worrying for a year of my life about my partner going to jail for up to a decade based on lies likely fed to you by the top of the federal government. Show everyone what you're covering up in these emails and texts. There's a reason you don't want them released.
