Any chance we (Dems, liberal media, groups and pundits on what America thinks of as "the left", etc.) could STOP repeating the unattached-to-reality name Piggy gave the group of 6 former-military electeds (including Sen. Mark Kelly) that he wants to intimidate? FFS we fall for this every GD time!
I need Nate Silver to have a rapidly increasingly horrible rest of his life. What an absolutely pathetic little man.

Protested ICE in Newport today! Great turnout (550 people). Happy to see old friends and meet some great new people!
Highlights include meeting the former mayor of Waldport, seeing my old friend Tony, and meeting Val Hoyle face to face. I told her I look forward to seeing her on the debate stage.

I've been going through our Cancel Me Daddy interview with Brad Lander from this summer and pulling out interesting bits.
Here he explains that the fight in the Dem party is not between Progressives and Moderates but Fighters and Folders.

I've probably photographed Brad Lander more than any other elected in NYC because the dude shows up. He's everywhere, he's incredibly accessible, and he genuinely loves New Yorkers. You can literally go up and talk to him whenever he shows up. Go ahead, try it!

No idea but solid choice by @katmabu.bsky.social !
omg. Kat Abughazaleh just posted that if she's elected, she'll swear in on a copy of Octavia Butler's Parable of the Sower.
If you were elected to public office (never mind whether you'd ever actually run), what book would you swear in on?

The dominant theme in this article is that a dozen of senators are entirely mum, or refusing to say what they think, as we get VERY near crunch time.

lol the ACIP committee let Aaron Siri speak for some 90 minutes and cut off CDC experts and scientists off after two minutes (sometime yelling at them to shut them up). Incredible stuff.
The country's biggest anti-vaccine lawyer, the guy behind weakened school mandates in Mississippi and West Virginia, who pulls in millions a year harassing the CDC on behalf of Del Bigtree's anti-vaxx org is ... presenting at ACIP. This panel is anti-vaccine theater. It's a cruel joke.

HOW ABOUT THIS PART
How about we worry less, as a society, about whether individuals might be cheating to get a disability accommodation or some help buying food, and more about whether extremely wealthy people and corporations are paying their fair share of taxes?

The real question is not "Why is Bluesky so left-coded," the real question is "Why can't the right exist in a social media environment without algorithmic assistance, where people can ignore them"

Important to do this press conference about a mass shooting from behind a comic book convention’s folding table inside the hotel from The Shining.
“You’re a stupid person” — Trump lashes out at a reporter who presses him on the fact that the suspected DC shooter was actually thoroughly vetted before he was let in the US from Afghanistan
