Taking a badly needed news break to watch The Lowdown. Great show, but feel I hadn’t heard enough about the stellar soundtrack.

Timezones are so weird. Australia is in 2026, Canada is in 2025, and the United States is in 1939.

It’s a "crisis" when immigrants "take jobs away", but "innovation" when machines do. Funny.

My favorite moment at tonight's dinner was when
@chriswarcraft.bsky.social
asked how many people in a room of 150+ hardcore Dem voters and volunteers approved of the job
@hakeem-jeffries.bsky.social
and
@schumer.senate.gov
were doing, and no one raised a hand.

I don't remember seeing any calls for violent retribution after a Minnesota state senator was assassinated, and it would have been nice not to see any today.

NYT paywalls the Daily Mini. Whatever, but it’s such an obvious money grab. Many people are saying it’s because subscriptions to the paper are down since it now worships at the Trump altar. Might not be true, but many people are saying.

On a personal level, I've already made this transition. When I look for leadership, I immediately look to see what Pritzker, Walz, Beshear, Wu, Mamdani, etc., are saying before anyone in Congress. More Democrats should do the same until Schumer and Jeffries are gone.
It also might be worth thinking about Pritzker, Newsom (on his good days), Michelle Wu and other state/local figures when we think of "Democrats." Those officials are speaking to the moment and in many cases have more actual power than Jeffries/Schumer. I should more time amplifying them.
Out of respect for reality and our wellbeing, we probably need way less talk about what “Democrats” should do and way more talk about what “we” can do. We’re not going to look back and wish we complained about Democratic leadership more, especially when we’re clear enough to get why they’re stunted.

Under Reagan's tax cuts, the average tax cut for the top 1% was 68x larger than the average cut for middle-class households.
Under Bush's tax cuts, it was 16x larger.
And under Trump, 36x larger.
The GOP has always governed for the privileged few.

GOP Sen. Ted Cruz was on a pre-planned vacation in Greece with his family when devastating floods hit central Texas, and he sought to travel back "as fast as humanly possible," his office said in a statement.

And remember, taxpayers are the ones who pay the settlements in these lawsuits, which ran over $200,000,000 for the NYPD just in the last year.
I wonder if the costs came out of their own budget or retirement funds they might be a little more circumspect.

New Yorkers scream out each officer’s lawsuits against them for excessive force and more upon their city, right to their faces while protesting.
