I’m just a person trying to keep my head amidst so much nonsense.

JUST IN: The Republican Mayor of Fairbanks, Alaska’s second biggest city, lost re-election last night to a Democrat.

Mayor David Pruhs is a conservative who fought protections for LGBTQ+ residents; he made comments this year drew condemnation this year from Alaska Natives. He lost to Mindy O'Neall.

Bridging my current life in Chicago and my past life in D.C., I argue today at @newrepublic.com that Democrats should ~never~ vote to fund this government. Make John Thune blow up Senate rules and Republicans wholly own the U.S. extra-military military doing war crimes against us, funded by us.

The Case for the Forever Shutdown

Senate Democrats actually allowing the GOP to stop funding the government is only the first step. Now they have to make the case that Trump’s government is illegitimate.

Unfortunately, they have been building the undergirding infrastructure to make it happen, but we have to stop them while we still can.

If he is willing to throw trans folks under the bus, who else?

Human rights means all humans, last time I checked.

I believe it is policy that people are after.
The Senate is a six year job and she will be 79.
It is not sexism, it is reality.

This from @jessicatarlov.bsky.social may be the most efficient use of 76 seconds of Fox News airtime I've ever seen.

Jessica Tarlov: I'm stunned that Republicans want to draw attention to this because... the senators who were part of this investigation are not just random names that he picked off a list, but people who were named in Jack Smith's charging documents for trying to turn over a free and fair election.

I think they should give it to Obama again, to make trump even more upset.

Paul Rabin @rabinpw.bsky.social · 19h

Does he ever not lie?

Paul Rabin @rabinpw.bsky.social · 19h

Insanity, at this time.

The energy that the dems need is not a 78 year old person.

Sorry to be ageist, but this is stupid bullshit.

Why Schumer and Gillibrand show us continuously, that they are not up to the times.

Such shitty “leadership”.

They’ll release an updated version of Custer’s Revenge and then fold.
