“‘Summer is nearly over and the American people haven’t seen a single episode of this reality TV show—so what did the corporate sponsors who helped fund this road trip actually pay for?‘ Sen. Patty Murray, D-Wash., told Forbes in an email.” Good scoop here from @srkelleher.bsky.social !

Republicans are truly spineless Cornyn and Tillis have nothing to lose. They’re both leaving Congress. Yet despite hundreds of reasons to vote against confirming Todd Blanche for Attorney General, they focused on only one-the “anti weaponization” fund And they are swallowing the lie that it’s dead

I have little to add to the chat, but I will say this: Those of us who spend a lot of time talking about politics overestimate how much other people care about, or are even familiar with, the labels we use to describe, denigrate, or celebrate candidates. Sometimes we’re high on our own supply.

“Earlier this year, we reported that police in multiple states were being told to be “as vague as permissible” about why they were using Flock because their searches could be obtained using public records requests, and that warning was being shared by the FBI and Department of Justice.“

Babylon 5 was such a great series. It took politics seriously. I had forgotten how much the storyline foreshadowed what we’re living through now — right down to the Karoline Leavitt character. Hard to believe this aired 30 years ago!🎯

Don't look now, but the world has now installed 3TW of solar. Took 10 years to get from 100GW to 1TW. Less than 3 years to get to 2TW. Less than 2 years to get to 3TW. Analysts expect *9TW* by 2036.

There is approximately a platoon that hangs out in Navy Yard—a squad by the Half Street metro entrance near Nats Park and another in the vacant lot at 1st & M SE across from DOT—all of whom just stand around doing nothing. Same thing all cross DC. Dumb as hell.

Russians have been using drones to deliberately and sadistically hunt civilians in their “human safari” for the past two years. These are clear and obvious war crimes. This vegetable seller survived, but this thread is harrowing.

I had to code and pronounce a time of death on a respiratory therapist colleague. There's a memorial plaque for her outside the emergency department to this day. I wrote and re-wrote my will. I will never forgive these ghouls trying to rewrite history and deny our experience.

The Colorado governor's race... (see🧵🧵🧵) Keep a rolodex of GOP candidates like this one to trot out everytime those folks rail about the radicals, socialists, and extremists the Democrats are running.

This is true. I see it every day here in DC.

House Ethics panel recommends censure for Chuck Edwards after harassment allegationsAfter a months-long investigation, the ethics committee recommended censure for Edwards because of "persistent unprofessional and inappropriate conduct towards two young female staffers."www.npr.org

sorry but does this seem like the kind of thing a congressman who banned a constituent from all six of his McDonald's franchises would do? or the same congressman who subsequently sold all six of his McDonald's to fund his re-election?

This guy, and his family, are Marco Rubio's literal sugar daddies.

Library pro tip: never go in without locking the emergency stop. If the lights are motion activated and you’re alone, they will definitely turn off if you’re in there, someone will come in and assume sensibly that there’s no one there. Ask my busted ribs how we know!

Oh my god I think I found the video.

Sharks are now using drones. We are cooked.
