Do not get lost in a sea of despair. Be hopeful, be optimistic. Our struggle is not the struggle of a day, a week, a month, or a year, it is the struggle of a lifetime. Never, ever be afraid to make some noise and get in good trouble, necessary trouble.

Rep.-elect Sarah McBride: "I didn't run to be a first. I didn't run to make history. I ran to serve the state that I love and to deliver for Delawareans."

Out of the huts of history's shame, I rise
Up from a past that's rooted in pain, I rise

Leaving behind nights of terror and fear, I rise
Bringing the gifts that my ancestors gave,
I am the dream and the hope of the slave.

I rise
I rise
I rise.

The usual suspects are out there yelling "There are 23 million government workers! Fire most of them!" No awareness that most work for local governments, and most of *them* are schoolteachers. Federal employment hasn't grown since the 1950s

The caged bird sings with a fearful trill
of things unknown but longed for still
and his tune is heard on the distant hill
for the caged bird sings of freedom.

One to two million years of nonstop rain.

Million. Not thousand. Not hundred.

I did... not know that happened.
Earth endured over one million years of rain in the "Carnian Pluvial Event"
A period known as the Carnian Pluvial Event, which occurred about 232 million years ago, marked a dramatic turn in Earth's climate history

Please ask yourself what the worst 10 allegations a prospective Secretary of Education could ever face are and then tell me this is not one of them

Preventing child abuse and child sexual abuse is central to the mission of the American education system and McMahon already allegedly failed that test

Trump lost 2020 but this is what happens when you give a vindictive man power. Unfortunately, Trump and GOP use and flex power. Democrats practice civility.

Don't waste your time with things that don't excite you. Find your passion and go out there and grab them with both hands.

“President-elect Trump has suffered a self-inflicted black eye with the withdrawal of former Rep. Matt Gaetz (R-Fla.) from consideration as attorney general.
Trump had startled even some of his supporters by choosing Gaetz for the crucial position atop the Department of Justice”

Trump's $25k to Pam Bondi was part of a larger trend:

- $35k to Greg Abbott (declined to pursue Trump U as TX AG)

- $50k from Trump atty to Cy Vance (declined to indict Don Jr/Ivanka as Manhattan DA)

- Fundraising for Rudy Giuliani (SDNY halted probe into alleged Mob ties)

Scott Bessent, a hedge fund guy, has been tapped by Donald Trump as the US Treasury Secretary.

Bessent was a protege of George Soros.

Cue the MAGA meltdown.
