I saw ... There were not many I did not see in my teens and 20s. '70s, early '80s.

@Nytimes.com "White House Declines to Offer Congress an Estimate of Iran War Cost" The word is "refuses." Or work in "stonewalls." It wasn't a fucking party invitation.

I know I can get no support for the idea that our president should be chosen using a lottery system, but the fact remains that it would have gotten us a better result than we got in two of the last three elections.

As soon as he's gone, his name and likeness come off everything. For the same reason that we get rid of statues of Jefferson Davis. And Cesar Chavez, for that matter.

Imagine Trump being so weird as to fire Pam Bondi today just to upstage the Pittsburgh Pirates promoting Konnor Griffin to the big leagues.

The overthrow of the Trump regime is going too slowly for my taste but as I look around, I gotta say this for us: It is the most photographed revolution ever.

Gore. Kerry. Hillary Clinton. Harris. All won the women's vote. As did Bill Clinton, Obama and Biden.

If only women voted we would have elected no Republican presidents since 1988. Fun fact.

So polls now indicate young men, and men in general, are turning against Trump. Great. But I don't trust them. I don't mean the polls, I mean men. They're flighty, fickle and emotional. Everyone knows that.

... A horror-parody of "The Wizard of Oz," with Donald Trump playing the title role as both a very bad wizard and a very bad man. Kristi Noem as The Wicked Witch. I.C.E. agents as flying monkeys. Elizabeth Warren as Glinda. You, you, you. And me. We're munchkins. Who will be our Dorothy?

I assume that when Trump says Noem will be part of "Shield of America" it means she will be melted down and used as nose cone material for Air Force One

I plan to be doing a lot of writing in 2026. Some not-so-serious. Some pretty serious. Some for other people who are out there, really trying. Like this: www.dailykos.com/stories/2026...

Josh Elliot for Governor in Connecticut. Really.
Ahem. (Tap, Tap) (Clears throat) Is this thing … on? OK, OK. I’ve been looking around, and it seems to me that the Connecticut microphone here at DailyKos has been … off, or broken for a while. I know...
