I wonder how much money consulting firms made coming up with new DEI-proof names for organizations (which they probably used ChatGPT for anyway).

I just want one elected Democratic official to stand in front of the microphones and hammer home the point, "President Trump and the GOP think you are stupid. They think you will believe anything they tell you. The question you need to ask is 'Are they right?'"

Coates' on Ezra's Charlie Kirk Op-Ed: "But was silence not an option?"

Perry Bacon @perrybaconjr.bsky.social · 15d

When they said the bullets had Anti ICE on them, I assumed that it was something like "F*ck ICE" not *literally* Anti-ICE.

It's a testament to the camaraderie of the Kansas City Chiefs that no one has choked out Jawaan Taylor on the sideline in the past two years.

Republicans invoke ‘nuclear option’ in push to change Senate rules

The rules change will allow the Senate to confirm multiple nominees at once, helping to clear a backlog of nearly 150 nominees awaiting floor votes.
