Seattle musician/songwriter/composer. Dem, Anti-MAGA, Anti-GOP. Likely to the left of most of you, but I also live in the land of what's reachable. Little patience with those who don't. #Mizzou #UW #Mariners #Seahawks #SeattleStorm

CNN has Jennings on to do exactly what he's doing. He knows the assignment. He was in line for Press Secretary but a cosplay "attorney" beat him out. Poor Scott.

Has anyone ever seen Kimberly Guilfoyle and Kristi Noem in the same place at the same time?

The old "We'll see what happens™" bullshit.

I'm putting "Guilfoyle has secrets that will take down Trump" in the same bucket as "Lucy will really let Charlie Brown kick the football this time."

Again: MTG is simply vying to be in a position of relevancy when MAGA crumbles. She has blood on her hands for all this. Listening to her voice disrespects the authentic voices delivering the same message.

If Trump really stops the livestream, it will only be because he's worried it will damage his brand. That's it.

I dream of a day when most of the country isn't depending on a centuries-old collection of stories to guide their lives. I could care less about either the old or new testament. That day will never come, but I can dream.

My ballot just arrived. Last year people on this platform and elsewhere were saying Trump would make sure there were no midterm elections at all, and anyone thinking otherwise was naive. Be a voter, not a doomer.

Don't discount Trump's admiration for what Kushner's father did.

The main example is the Senate. The outdated "let's give rural people a fair voice" argument has been taken to a perverse extreme (below). The Senate has thus created a badly skewed SCOTUS, which doesn't represent U.S. views at all. The Electoral College is another. We have to find a way out.
5.5 million people in 5 red states have 10 Senators, while 60 million people in two blue states (California and New York) have 4 Senators.

Imagine a country where the governance system is designed to give conservatives far more power than their numbers warrant, so that they 1) run the country, and 2) prevent the system from being changed. U.S. residents are living in that system.

The fact that the Rogers campaign settled on $10 being the amount that would relieve peoples' gas price issues is an hysterical self-parody.

Looking forward to your piece next week. As most know, the system is skewed at several points to give far more power to roughly 1/3 of the country than their numbers deserve. The court is one place. Also, the outdated Electoral College, and of course, this:

Guaranteed the rightwing media will now turn Zacharia into their new victim, of liberals being mean to her. Watch.

Some reporter with a spine needs to ask him, "At what point did you decide that doing Putin's bidding was your strategy?" Mock him. To his face. Daily.

It won't be if we don't start. At one time in human history it was "delusional" to think things were possible that now exist.

The "never Trumpers" don't take accountability for what they helped to create over the decades. They want kudos for saying the same things we've said all along.

YES. We want turnout so big it thwarts both MAGA and the purity-test "Dem" non-voters. I haven't seen as many of the latter in the last couple days... since Ukraine hit the troll farms. Just a coincidence I'm sure. You know, the political experts who list all the video games in their profiles...

Zacharia is an attorney like Trump is a deal maker.

All I know about Musk and Trump is there sure were a lot more political assassinations in the U.S. when I was growing up.

Democrats secretly maneuvering to have Trump pick Katie Zacharia is 4D chess. 👊🏼

It's always the time to advocate for better Democrats to run for office, and to do the right things while in office. When the general election comes, that's NOT the time to give power to Republicans. Got it?
