Trump’s obsession with these vulgar memorials to his own vanity is a reminder of the darkness around him, of his hostility to democracy, his loathing of honor, and his disordered mind.

Californians fought hard for affordability, net neutrality, and public safety protections on internet access. The federal government wants to strip that away via a provision in a funding deal. Tell the Governor to reject this provision. www.eff.org/deeplinks/2...

In Dallas at a VR event at a library y’day. TX requires paper apps, (no online) & I can’t tell you how many people made the comment that “they” were dropping people from rolls, rejecting applications, etc., etc. Rightly or wrongly, the most common comment was that “they” are trying to cheat.

@chrismurphyct.bsky.social I want a bill passed that requires that East Wing be restored and Trump to pay for the restoration!
"We are aware of no instance in American history in which a President unilaterally and using privately collected funds demolished substantial portions of the White House that Congress authorized to be built and American taxpayers paid for. Until now."
U.S. Appeals Court for DC Circuit orders a halt to Trump's ballroom construction: "The White House is the People’s House, and under the Constitution’s Property Clause, Congress exercises plenary control over the building and its surrounding land." Opinion: ecf.cadc.uscourts.gov/n/beam/servl...

Tillis said Blanche had to meet with Epstein survivors. The survivors said he was condescending, rude & constantly interrupted them. They said he was just checking a box.
Tillis wants slush fund order modified & IRS settlement gone. Blanche creates a sham order.

I worked for New York’s largest medical center at the start of the pandemic. There were morgue trucks on the streets. They set up emergency medical tents in Central Park. Healthcare worker colleagues died. It is horrific that RFK Jr is on national TV lying that ICUs were empty.

I'm not saying Dems should hold up the res for Darline Graham, but I'd hope they at least considered it... if simply because one Republican senator who blocked the res to replace Feinstein on the Judiciary Committee was Lindsey Graham.

A heartwarming moment where a stranger patiently connects with an abandoned stray dog who didn't trust humans. Calm, kindness, and love ultimately prevail.

I spoke to my old friend Mitch McConnell this morning, the senior Senator from Kentucky. He's still recovering in the hospital. We talked for just shy of 20 minutes. And all that time he insisted he was a ghost, already dead but trapped in semi-corporeal form by Pure Evil. I told him Get Well Sir.
