Whatever you think of the White House as a building or a symbol, the fact is that the image of it being torn apart on a whim two days after 7 million people hit the streets against autocracy is going to make a HUGE amount of people really, really angry, and that's an energy that should be harnessed.

Frogs in slowly heating water is a popular allegory for being unaware that you are being destroyed in an incrementally worsening situation.

But I'm drawing hope from the past week that we frogs may be a bit more aware of our situation than those allegorical frogs. #Hop

Diwali, Tihar, and Bandi Chhor Divas symbolize unity, compassion, and acceptance for Hindu and Sikh Pennsylvanians – the same values our Commonwealth was founded upon and that we continue to live by today.

All that manure will serve to fertilize America's sense of outrage. Something has to give, sooner or later.

The president of the United States posted a video of him defecating on the American people. Many in my profession normalized it. This is a big reason why we are where we are.

The Pentagon’s gone dark and Johnson’s calling it “transparency”

KARL: “The guy’s only had two briefings since he became Secretary of Defense… they’ve basically forced the Pentagon press out of the building…”

SPEAKER JOHNSON: “I can’t remember… a Secretary of Defense who has been so transparent.”

Got buried in the news this weekend, but President Jesus said the F word on CNN at like 2pm in the afternoon. The next day he posted a poop-filled scat video, but tell Me more about the dignity of the office of the presidency.

Adelita Grijalva won her election to Congress nearly a month ago, but Mike Johnson still hasn't sworn her in. Why the delay? Perhaps it's because Grijalva would cast the final vote needed to release the Epstein files.

For health reasons I have to stick close to home today, but I'll say this - I'm Irish. My allegiance is to my family, friends, & anybody who tries to get by while looking after people. I'll never bow to any king, anywhere. The moment someone does, I watch my back. Be safe, be smart. Give 'em hell.
