You know, I often feel like I should be better at stuff, but there are so many just blisteringly incompetent people wielding unearned power in the world, and we need to get over ourselves.

I learned to drive in NY. First time I went to Boston I was impressed by how polite the drivers were.

I had a judge presiding over one of my cases ask me if I had been a defendant in one of his cases because he recognized me. I was like nope. I'm counsel. I was dressed impeccably in a vintage Calvin Klein suit that I'd paid way too much money for. It happened in 2005ish and I still think about it.

Uh, the man operating as President of the United States has illegally deployed the military into another US city with the intention of provoking dissent that will be met with lethal violence, and you want to negotiate with the people who think this is fine? What the fuck is wrong with you?

Rep. Ted Lieu @reptedlieu.bsky.social · 10d

Republicans are fine with increasing your health care costs.

They’re also fine with shutting down the government.

Democrats want to prevent both of these things. Republicans should join us at the negotiating table.

"I think the advice I would offer is to remember that leadership is a service role. Your job as a leader is to support the people who work for you, to protect them, to listen to them, & prioritize them."
