As Transportation Secretary, I could always count on a Congressional Republican to take credit for an infrastructure win that they had voted against. That's the type of behavior that makes people cynical about politics - but it doesn't have to be that way.

$20 million meant to fight drug trafficking & honor fallen officers was diverted to campaign ads promoting Trump. That’s YOUR taxpayer money. It should be protecting you, not promoting Trump. We need a full investigation, with everyone who signed off answering under oath.

Yes. Building a coalition is not about gathering up a group of homogeneous thinkers. It’s about assembling & joining people together who may have differing perspectives & opinions regarding some issues, but agree & are willing to act on the most critical ones! Building a team not an exclusive club.

There's news of a plague outbreak in Russia. Here's what we know and here's who in the White House is staffed to handle any U.S. related work on it (hint: it's RFK Jr. and a gutted CDC...) Russia is trying to cover up the media reports on the outbreak, which now has 200 people in quarantine.

Another corruption story, and the volume makes it hard to absorb one before the next arrives. The real work is understanding why the guardrails failed. The good news: democracies have faced corrupt regimes before, and we know how to hold power accountable.

Timothy Snyder: One thing that I do worry about... is that the way we fought the Iran war was obviously out of date. We haven’t learned how to fight a modern war. With Hegseth and Trump… and their just fantastic vision of testosterone plus battleships, I just don’t think we’re going to get there.

Katie Phang on Blanche: What are you trying to hide? Who are you protecting? This is the permissive culture that is created, that is then buttressed by conduct by people like the AG to protect perpetrators, co-conspirators, enablers of crimes. Crimes against children, crimes against women.

It’s absolutely nuts that Trump offering people $5,000 to vote for Republicans isn’t changing their minds. They either (rightly) hate this regime that much, or simply don’t believe there’s $5,000 waiting for them at the end of the rainbow. Remarkable stuff.

How is it not news when the president nods off in public meetings and press conferences dozens of times? If you follow independent media, you see it and know about it. But why hasn’t CBS, NBC or ABC showed a montage of it on their evening news? They simply refuse to ever show it.

Judges, and Dem candidates, must better understand, and push harder for the electorate to understand “substance over form” - what label one puts on it doesn’t matter. What’s consequential are the facts around what’s actually happening! AKA: if it walks, quacks & swims like a duck, it’s a duck!
