"There's truth underneath all this fake outrage. Conservatives really are at a disadvantage in pop culture because most creative people are liberals, which has always been true & probably always will be. While MAGA has had some success building a culture machine, what it produces is mostly banal."

Some random Republican tried to come for me in the Halls of Congress.

Things didn’t work out well for him.

I spent more than a decade at The Post. It was good to me and I was proud to work there. I’ve largely refrained from being critical since I left. But this framing of the special counsel probe is embarrassing and flatly wrong. Stunning, but not. www.washingtonpost.com/opinions/202...

Good people will be deterred from public service if they see a meaningful risk of winding up in jail afterward.

Trump has been illegally bombing boats off the coast of Venezuela.

Tim Kaine and Adam Schiff forced a vote on reasserting Congress's role over war powers and ending this reckless
warmongering.

It failed 48-51.

Murkowski and Paul voted yes.

Fetterman voted no.

I keep telling my family and friends that the tariffs and uncertain economic times feel like COVID in a lot of ways to me.

It’s not as chaotic or abrupt but I can’t deny the parallels.

Anyhoo…here’s a post from 5 years ago at the other place. It’s still relevant and useful today.

Her political career is over.

I knew Katie Porter wasn't shit when she pulled that angry church lady move in Congress where she was reading a book while someone else was speaking. Lying on Maxine Waters was another huge strike against her.

💀😭😂😂😂😂

I keep trying to tell people that California does not want Porter as our governor. We didn’t want her as our senator either.

Once again…BW warned y‘all about her when she lied on Aunty Maxine🤷🏾‍♀️
