We know from private conversations many of them don't really support him, but are terrified of being primaried from the right. A massive swing in the odd-year elections may make them less concerned about that and more that they lost in Nov 26. 1 branch standing up to him would be a tremendous help

It's 11 days until E-day. In VA, NJ, NY and CA there are races getting national attention, but there are local races nationwide. It's vital to turn out and vote in them. Convincing Republicans they need to fear a general election more than a primary may get them to break from Trump.

I sold 5 Portland Protest Frogs yesterday! Super happy. www.datadiva.net/product-page...
Portland Protest Frog | datadiva
The defining image of the protests in Portland was the inflatable frog. Now you can have your own. Not inflatable, but flexible. Not meant for kids, but great for kids at heart (but who know not to...

Reading the news really makes me want to curl up under a blanket and take a nap. For a few years.

🧵Stop calling it Argentina aid.

It's a scam bailout to friends of Trump and his thug chums who had been making a lot of money off Argentina.

The scam goes like this:

everybody keeps saying "the dems should go shoot press conferences by the east wing destruction" but i sort of doubt that would help the case--any spots in public areas where you could do this without white house permission won't have a very good view. There have been a lot of fences up for awhile

The issue with Mills isn't her positions, it's that she's already at an age where she should be retiring from politics, not running for senate.

I'm sure it's a complete coincidence that the most famous one in Europe is only a couple letters off from his name.

How about this, we let him play with legos to build it, then name it after Rosie O'Donnell

My guess is @jordanwood.bsky.social is going to get a lot of former Platner supporters. Former chief-of-staff for Katie Porter, former VP of End Citizens United, young enough to be really unlikely to die in the next 6 years. So he has qualifications, and age.

I care about age when there’s a risk of another Feinstein. Or the 3 Dems in the house that died this year.

I’m not saying support Platner. I’m saying there has got to be someone qualified who isn’t statistically likely to die in office.

I’m very pragmatic. And know that 3 Dems died in office this year because so many of our politicians are old. We have time until the primary and don’t have to immediately jump to Mills the day we find out about Platner’s tattoo. Maine has plenty of politicians who don’t have Nazi tattoos or AARP.

I think it’s fair to want someone both not a Nazi and younger than the LP record.

You can donate food you already have, but money is better than going shopping for them. They can buy in bulk and spend something like 25 cents for enough food for a meal.

Remember how upset republicans got about Obama adding a basketball court and a vegetable garden?

There are rules about the process for changing the White House, but likely not punishments for breaking them. A lot of the government runs on the assumption that leaders will operate in good faith. The system isn’t built to cope with those who don’t.

The Borowitz report is satire, and needs to be more clearly marked as such.

The artillery incident on I-5 is one of those things that if it came up in a writers room would be considered too far-fetched. I'm pretty tired of those happening every week or so.

Current plan is to go to No Kings with an inflatable purple bat. Should my sign say "This Administration Drives me Batty" or This Administration is Batty"?

Any other bat-pun ideas?
