When Rob Reiner was on his all-time epic run at the start of his career, he had an opportunity to read a script that was looking for a production partner, and he lost his mind for it. He decided Castle Rock had to have it, no matter what.

I wish Democrats would start doing this in Missouri. We always run centrists OR semi-progressives with a military and gun background.
For a couple elections it was tight, but there’s nothing there anymore.
So go big. Be loud. Be progressive. See what happens. It genuinely can’t hurt.

Once again I will stress the importance of running for unwinnable seats. It allows you to get your positions into the consciousness of the people in your district. In 2018 I ran on expanding Medicare, doubling the minimum wage, and other progressive positions. Push that Overton window, y'all.
I reject the Crockett electabiltiy arguments out of hand. For 30 years, TX Dems have run a non-offensive white guy who always gets beat by a car salesman who bought his wife from Belorussia and is diddling his daughters. Be open to something different. You can run a loudmouth.

If we're not at war, Pete Hegseth is a murderer. If we are at war, Pete Hegseth is still a murderer. He's a murderer. And you don't need to go to The Hague to hold him accountable because there are perfectly good, American laws AGAINST MURDER.

Pete Hegseth Should Be Charged With Murder
No matter how you look at the strikes on alleged “drug boats”—as acts of war or attacks on civilians—Hegseth has committed a crime and should be prosecuted.

Huge disconnect between City of St Louis and reality on City's response to snow/ice. For Mayor Spencer's Winter Weather Unified Command, most important is controlling narrative, not public safety. Not new. Jeff Rainford (Mayor Slay) would tweet brag about specific streets cleared... that weren't.
It bothers me so much to see people declare this storm as a victory when it’s still hard to move around the neighborhood at all. I’ve begrudgingly accepted a certain level of stuck at home for every storm’s aftermath. It says something when the during is better than the after.

I don't see "native" 🌳 trees mentioned in this article and I have a bad feeling the City of St. Louis is going to use vacant lots from 🌪 damage for trees as an excuse for not rebuilding in North City.

Won’t lament the state of the Cardinals, (dead horse) but hate to see Gray dumped for basically potatoes 🤡 He was their only really decent pitcher, definitely signals Bloom is ready to blow it up. It’s what they need but still a bit jarring lol. I’m thankful I’m not monetarily invested in the club 🤷♂️

This THREAD.
Being among the first interrogated and ultimately fired by DOGE, I certainly felt we were facing the business end of a right-wing conspiracy theory 🧵
DOGE was not a money-saving effort. It was an effort to chase down and prove right-wing conspiracy theories. They went after USAID to prove conspiracy theories about foreign aid. Then they went after SSA to, again, pursue conspiracy theories about Dems paying "illegals" to vote. 1/2

JFC! They’re not just kidnapping people now, they’re DRUGGING them!
Local police officers and sheriffs in Mobile, Alabama, are abducting a man from the waiting room of a car dealership mechanic shop on behalf of ICE/DHS. During the kidnapping, he is administered an unidentified sedative.

Tim Kaine on AOC: "She was not at the table with the Republicans in the Senate. Maybe she thinks the Republicans would've caved. Would it have been another week of SNAP recipients losing their SNAP benefits? Another month of air travelers enduring chaos and even danger?"
