I hope that Dick Durbin and every single person who works for Dick Durbin down to the interns cannot buy a sandwich in this town without getting yelled at for selling us the fuck out.

Your Magnificence Lord Musk: At work this week… I put more water in the Keurig. I cleared the remaining time on the microwave in the breakroom. I logged into two Zoom calls at the same time. I flushed. I put the new cover sheets on the TPS reports.

Donald Trump promised he was gonna lower costs and make us safer. He's done none of it. I realize he's only been in office two weeks, but it's gotten worse, not better. You think grocery prices have gone down? No, they've gone up because of Trump’s Tax on Working Families.

To be clear, our most historically trusted media outlets carried a tremendous amount of water & shattered their credibility for an administration that will now make it state policy to see them ousted from their jobs if they show even bare minimum backbone. They were warned of this for many years.

Trump’s proposal to strip birthright citizenship from those born in this nation is unconstitutional. In Illinois, we follow the law. This is only the start of attempts to undermine the rule of law, and Illinoisans can count on me to stand against unconstitutional actions.

If we're going to do something as both monstrous and fucking stupid as invading Panama, could we put Bobby Kennedy Jr. in charge, so he can die of Yellow Fever or some other treatable disease he doesn't believe people should be protected from?

"Dingle Peninsula" It's a few years since I've painted this. And it's too many years since I've been in this corner of Ireland inhaling the ocean while listening to friends talk beautiful nonsense. #SpeirGorm #ArtAdventCalendar
Wide landscape format. Stylised depiction of headland of green patchwork of fields and sea both sides. White gable ends of three cottages sit on right  at top of headland that stretches full width of painting. Below cottages are fields of loose green, some with traces of orange. Hedgerows or walls are separating them rendered as dark blue lines, and all sloping down to foreground of lilac rocks that drop to waters edge. Water is very pale blue. Beyond a deep crevice of dark grey the headland extends to the right edge. A thin wedge of water is visible on far side of headland to high horizon under cloudy blue sky.

I have a friend in the hospital at the moment. He'll be fine, I'm sure. What blows my mind is that he's been my friend for 62 years. He's not the only friend of that vintage. So, he has to get well. I'm not ready for us to start losing each other.

Last night, 19 Senators voted to end illegal arms sales to Israel. We stood up to AIPAC, the Democratic Senate leadership, and the Biden administration. We must continue going forward to end illegal arms sales and hold Netanyahu accountable for his war crimes.

One thing I find interesting about the echo chamber complaint is that an echo chamber just won a presidential election. Put aside the convo of whether it’s “good” or “bad” for a moment. The far right has devoted enormous resources + time to building echo chambers & loathes spaces they don’t control

We have to stop assuming Trump is secretly a master manipulator with a plan. If there’s a plan here, it isn’t fucking Trump’s. Trump has concepts of a plan. And that “concepts” is to devour a Filet-O-Fish while watching his sons hunt immigrants for sport. That’s about as sophisticated as he gets.

If @HouseGOP really wanted to protect women, they'd release the Ethics Committee report on Matt Gaetz' alleged sex trafficking - not try to ban their colleagues from using the bathroom. Stop the bigotry and release the report.

A lot of people responsible for poor decisions are on a press tour right now because if they didn’t, people would rightfully be questioning THEIR leadership and they know it. It’s weak even by normal left-punching standards. Zero evidence more Liz Cheney would have won this. The opposite, actually.

Nighty night.
Cartoon by Lars Kenseth.

The Trump-thing - that orange fascist pussy-grabber who is about to re-occupy the White House - is sitting by a child's bed, reading the child a bedtime story. He says - 

“Good night NATO, good night healthcare, good night democracy everywhere...”
