I’m so excited to attend WA’s bill signing today for our new #MillionairesTax! WA is a great place to live & work & play - and the millionaires will stay (according to research on MA’s similar tax).

Himes: "I was delighted to hear that Tom Cotton, chairmen of the Senate Intel Committee, has been in regular contact with the admin. I've had zero outreach and no D I'm aware of has. So apparently we're now in a world where the legal obligation to keep Congress informed only applies to your party."

Sen. Michael Bennet: "Did you know that the president's Middle East adviser was in Moscow on this thread while you were, as director of the CIA, participating in this thread, were you aware of that? Are you? Are you aware of that today?" Ratcliffe: "I'm not aware of that."

This is really the whole ball game right now, *particularly* among the institutions that make up civil society. (my parents definitely had this poster when I was growing up)

People are losing their jobs. Prices keep climbing. Measles continues to spread. Bird flu is raging. Veterans are getting fired. The stock market is a roller coaster. Our alliances are being shattered. Ukrainian civilians are getting bombed by Russia. Donald Trump is golfing.

Proud Chicagoan, which celebrates Pulaski Day as a city holiday - because my hometown doesn’t put up with tyrants.

Judge Merchan notes Trump’s filings “accuse… this Court of engaging in ‘unlawful’ and ‘unconstitutional’ conduct,” adding such terms are synonymous w/ “criminally punishable…. Attempts to intimidate judges for their rulings in cases are inappropriate and should be vigorously opposed”

💔 Paul Krugman’s retirement from The NY Times at this moment feels like another blow for a vision of justice and fairness and expert opinions that account for the lives of everyday people. I had counted on him to help get us all through the coming months and years…

Trump killed hundreds of thousands of people with Covid because of his people’s idiocy - appointing Kennedy could do even worse with avian flu. Not to mention all the other things this idiot believes…

@dansavage.bsky.social actually had the order right: they weren’t gonna stop at gay & trans people - they went after abortion (and birth control is next). We queer people are the canaries in the coal mine.

Republicans want to cut $30 billion from SNAP, because nothing says “save the children” like starving them.
