Democratic candidate for Texas governor, Gina Hinojosa, is out here with the receipts showing Greg Abbott is selling Texans’s future to the highest bidder. Save our planet. Vote blue! Vote Gina Hinojosa!

I wish the media had the same urgency about the state of Mitch McConnell as they did for Kamala's W-2 from McDonald's in the 80s.

Turner Classic Movies is resisting today - right now. Keeper of the Flame. It takes a while to get to the point, but this is an amazing anti-fascist movie. So anti-Trump. Huge respect to TCM.

The GOP is not a good faith partner in governing. They are not on the level. Their stated goals are irrelevant and disconnected to their behavior. Any Democrat who pretends otherwise is misunderstanding our opposition and not up to what this moment demands.

It’s almost impossible to watch most of the TV coverage of the big awful bill, which treats it like the usual Congressional horse trading rather than an entire party that is fine with destroying America to please Donald Trump in his pursuit of total power.

Bad people know that one way to control people is to make them feel economically uncertain, so more of their time is spent worrying about their own precarity and less on the general welfare and/or what the bad people are doing. There's a reason the current administration is undermining the economy.

Just got word that Secretary Noem is asking for an addition to her budget - a new private Gulfstream 5 jet for her personal national photo op tour. She's already got a private plane but wants a tricked out new one. All while she supports kicking 13 million people off Medicaid.

Imagine the biggest problem in your life being about which bathroom a total stranger uses. Imagine pretending random people you'll never meet are somehow victimizing you with their existence. Imagine being that hard up for troubles that you have to invent them just so you can play the victim.

Just today, three next-gen leaders jumped into big races - Mallory McMorrow for Senate in MI, & Jake Rakov and Deja Foxx for US House in CA & AZ. The Democratic Party *will* be changing, whether the leadership & establishment likes it or not.

So, the plan to "make America great" was to deport hardworking migrants who were paying into the system without receiving benefits and force 14 year kids to work the graveyard shift instead of attending school to fill the job vacancies. Got it.

Musk isn’t making government smaller. He’s shutting down the parts of the government that have been investigating his companies for safety violations and ties to Russia.
