This week is going to be stupid. Next week will be worse, and the week after that even worse..., and then we will have elections. The days after that, it'll be so bad that we will miss these days.

Schiff: The judge, in that decision on Monday, referred Blanche, basically, to the New York Bar Association because of his conduct.
How is it possible that after being referred to the bar association for potential discipline on Monday, we’re contemplating this guy for attorney general on Wednesday?

When Jeff Bezos (who is 100 times richer than Taylor Swift) was married, he essentially took over the city of Venice, pushed locals aside, and provided nothing lasting in return.
Taylor Swift and Travis Kelce personally donated over $26 million to charities to commemorate their wedding.

With 85 million households watching on TV, former WH counsel John Dean reads his explosive 60,000 word opening statement which implicates Nixon, himself & other top WH officials in a coverup of Watergate & more. Nixon resigns 13 months later.
Telling the truth matters.

The Senate must continue to hold the line. The SAVE Act isn’t about protecting Americans. Only citizens have the ability to vote in the first place. This is about voter suppression and making it more difficult for people at the ballot box. #Pinks

Tom Steyer wants voters to see him as a climate crusader now. But let’s be real about where the money came from.
Steyer built his fortune at Farallon Capital through investments tied to coal, fossil fuels, mining & global energy infrastructure. Environmental watchdogs spent years documenting it.

But critics say the biggest threat he poses to democracy is his leading role in efforts to overturn Trump’s 2020 election loss.

It's the reality that he no longer controls GOP lawmakers in the Senate like he once did. Remember, they shelved the SAVE Act, fled D.C. last week so they didn't have to address his billion dollar request for the Epstein Ballroom and his $1.7B slush fund.
