Really remarkable how despite all the claims that Trump has changed the GOP, when they govern it’s still tax cuts for the rich, gutting the safety net for others, blowing up the deficit, and launching new wars in the Middle East. Only difference is Trump dials up the hate, corruption, and theater.

You can’t say criminals don’t deserve due process when due process is the thing that decides if they're criminals. Otherwise you're just kidnapping people you don't like.

Had my first bike commute this week since congestion pricing went into effect and the improvement is *insane*. Totally transformative.

The reason I have been unwaveringly NeverTrump from the beginning is it’s always been obvious to me that Trump is a bad person whose personal values are fundamentally at odds with the values of American liberal democracy. Not a flawed person, as we all are. But a bad person.

When the Press Secretary gives props to the Democrats for being able to “effectively orchestrate a misinformation campaign” isn’t that obvious enough to prove she is lying? Dems are HORRIBLE at that kind of stuff. That the fact that Trump is President (again) is the proof.

everyone should listen to this in its entirety but journalists should listen to it multiple times. this is how you ask questions. you just keep asking simple, easily answerable stuff and the evasiveness becomes that much more glaring

This is how war is, especially modern civil conflict. It's not Hollywood. People go to work, go to school, go shopping and hang out. Even combatants, when they're not fighting. Rabbi Zober's point is important because *we'll need to recognize when we're in it.* Otherwise the frog boils.

I am very much in favor of merit-based hiring and high standards for jobs with life and death implications. Which is why I oppose confirming Pete Hegseth, RFK JR, Tulsi Gabbard, and Kash Patel.

Sean Duffy passed his committee vote unanimously yesterday, in part because he promised not to let politics (illegally) get in the way of funding transportation projects congress approved. But he made that promise before his boss issued an executive order demanding that he do just that.

America has a new transportation secretary – but a recent executive order appears to direct him not to perform some of the most important duties of his job.

Who would have that that in the year 2025 the Breaking News music would signal an announcement about the Supreme Court keeping a ban for an app on our phones? What do you remember the Breaking News music signaled when you were a kid?

Not sure who at @hgtv.bsky.social decides to schedule The American President today. We need a serious leader who will work to address our serious problems. Not someone who wants to play the blame game and scare the American public.

I'm a believer in smart policy, but all the finger-pointing in the LA firestorm about hydrant flows and LAFD budgets seems like arguing about the adequacy of Hiroshima's 1945 building code standards. It's a way to evade the big questions.

If City leaders truly want clean air... follow Paris' lead. Mayor @Anne_Hidalgo has had vision + guts. By building many hundreds of miles/kilometres of protected bikelanes, she cleaned the air. As bonus, she got a healthier, greener, more fun city, for all ages & backgrounds.

Thanksgiving seems like good enough a time to say hello to the #Bluesky world. As much as social media can be a gravity well, I truly value learning about my world through the community I am surrounded by. Looking forward to connecting, building, growing and learning.
