Final draft of my speech at yesterday’s Houston #NoKings protest. @50501houston.bsky.social
I don't want to be here today. I'd much rather be with my wife and daughter right now watching our daughter's friends perform in a play. But I felt compelled to be here, like all of you.

One of the talking points I keep seeing from Democrats is that part of the deal is that it will "ensure federal workers receive back pay" but that's the existing law!
That's not something you've won in negotiations. That's just the letter of the law. You don't get to claim that as a win.

agreeing to make a terrible deal while your main opponent is quite literally being boo'd on live tv by an entire stadium of people is the kind of political instinct you'd normally only find in a 3 week old dead goldfish

I saw someone on my timeline shaming someone else for posting about college football in a time like this.
Folks, if we're going to survive a time like this, we're going to need to avoid burning out from an attitude of 24/7 vigilance and constant outrage.
Let people find joy where they can, please.

The Trump administration’s military strikes on alleged drug boats are “blatantly unlawful as a matter of U.S. domestic law—and a quickly spreading stain on whatever is left of the executive branch’s commitment to the rule of law.”

The Democratic move away from center has been very modest. Republicans, meanwhile, shifted far to the right over the same period from the 92nd Congress (1971-72) to the 117th Congress (2021-2022). This is a question of demographics: White Boomers overwhelmingly shifted right as they got wealthier.
The polarization in today’s Congress has roots that go back decades
On average, Democrats and Republicans are farther apart ideologically today than at any time in the past 50 years.
