I look for things that make us go.
We are currently clean on OPSEC.
- "Schumer needs to get the hell out": House Democrats fume over DHS funding talks

- a clever interviewer could probably bait him into implying that he's the antichrist

- @wyden.senate.gov's record of warning that there is deep and constitutionally-serious dirt being done by the intelligence agencies in secret is unblemished. The vaguer he is, the filthier the dirt is. This is the vaguest I've ever seen him
- No one should be opposed to this.

- Civil rights activist Medgar Evers was shot in the back by a Klansman in 1963. The National Park Service has removed visitor brochures from Evers' museum and reportedly plans to remove references that call his murderer a “racist"
- one thing i have noticed is a lot of folks do not seem to understand the difference between a presidential election and 435+ legislative elections. i have seen any number of people say that you could subvert the outcome this november by targeting “swing states,” which does not make any sense.
-
View full threadthe current margin for control of the House is like two seats.
- as i keep saying, the things to do to secure elections are to volunteer to work the polls or to serve as an observer, & to pressure your *state representatives* to take steps to further secure voting locations and ballots. you should also learn about how election administration works in your area.
- William Nordhaus received the Nobel Memorial Prize for these flawed economic models, and Bjorn Lomborg built a highly lucrative career on them. They told rich and powerful people what they wanted to hear. While helping to consign us all to catastrophe. www.theguardian.com/environment/...
- Oh, and, as it happens ... bsky.app/profile/mich...
- A major enabler, funder and amplifier of Bjorn Lomborg is Bill Gates, who simultaneously sought to position himself as a climate hero (fooling some people who really should have known better). Billionaires gonna billionaire.

- The speaker is Jonathan Jackson, US Rep. from Illinois, son of Rev. Jesse Jackson, godson of MLK. And it is magnificent to see him absolutely flummox the tyrant standing behind him.

- Avowed Christian Donald Trump has never heard of praying before meals.
- We’ve warned repeatedly about the threat of autocracy under Donald Trump. It looks like we’re not the only ones sounding the alarm. #holdfast

- Trump: "They say, 'Donald Trump is using the Justice Department to get even!' And I don't. But wouldn't I have a right to?"
- Trump at the National Prayer Breakfast: "I stopped the mutilation of children. The mutilation. The word is mutilation. They mutilized, you know, mutilation of children."

- Having literally written the book on the National Prayer Breakfast -- borne of the idea that God cares more for the rich and powerful than everyone else -- I can say this is the rare instance where Trump's grotesqueness is deeply appropriate.

- it was a huge mistake for anyone to assume, under the prevailing norms, that this brand of christianity is a real religion in any sense of the word

- This isn’t some anonymous tip. This is sworn testimony, under penalty of perjury, from someone who said Trump threatened to kill her if she exposed Epstein’s sexual abuse.
- Crucial from @brianbeutler.bsky.social: Anyone selling warehouses to ICE for camps should prepare for video leaking of "people inside being tortured." They'll have to answer for atrocities "in their communities." On the pod we went big on Trump's new vulnerabilities: newrepublic.com/article/2061...
- Dems need to abandon the idea, fed to them by certain commentators, that Trump's 2024 win represented a durable cultural shift against immigration. It's blinding them to the possibilities of this moment. Check out this exchange with @brianbeutler.bsky.social: newrepublic.com/article/2061...

- Rep. Ben Cline at the National Prayer Breakfast: "We are reminded that leadership is not only about policy and power, but about character, conscience, and the recognition that all authority that all authority is ultimately accountable to God. We are honored to welcome President Bukele."

- I am running out of ways to convey how disconnected from reality Trump's judicial nominees are. They can't say that Trump lost the 2020 election, they won't say that the January 6 insurrection happened, they don't acknowledge any fact about anything if Trump hasn't authorized them to believe it

- they're really testing god here
- Sir Ian McKellen performing a monologue from Shakespeare’s Sir Thomas More on the Stephen Colbert show. Never have I heard this monologue performed with such a keen sense of prescience. Nor have I ever been in this exact historical moment.TY Sir Ian, for reaching us once again. #Pinks #ProudBlue
