As we mourn Rob Reiner, don’t skip this: he was, pretty much, personally responsible for overturning California’s Prop 8 banning same sex marriage.

I got back to my office after the vote last night and recorded this. There's no way to sugarcoat what happened. And my fear is that Trump gets stronger, not weaker, because of this acquiescence. I'm angry - like you. But I choose to keep fighting.

The centrists in the Senate Democratic caucus saw that the country was rallying to the party in the 2025 elections and resolved that they would do anything they could to kill that momentum.

Our team just secured another court order blocking President Trump’s unlawful attempts to fire civil servants during the government shutdown.
This is a major blow to the Trump-Vance admin’s attempts to make the Project 2025 playbook a reality.

One of the most sacred responsibilities of a government is to protect the rights and freedoms of its citizens. We talked about that today and the potential overturning of the VRA. I'm excited for y'all to hear it.

Silly Jimmy Kimmel. He should have just called for all homeless people to be killed and he’d still have a job.

Elon is right - Trump's budget bill is "outrageous," a "disgusting abomination" & will do enormous harm to the country. Our credit has been downgraded. The economy is slowing. Prices are rising. Ten of millions will suffer. We need a new and better path 👇

Yes. Yes, actually. Yes, this is the case. All of them. (and there are many books about this--authoritarian regimes do not solve problems, they create them through indifference, chaos, and ill-will).
Starting to wonder if all dictators and authoritarian regimes are this stupid and historians just fell for their propaganda

Good advice. This is classic propaganda — exhausting you with noise
The plan was always to flood the zone with shit.
Not everyone can respond to every outrage. That's on purpose. But no need to get mad at someone for focusing on stuff *you* don't think is important. Let everyone focus on what they want to focus on.
