Everything they do is performative bullshit for their hateful propaganda campaigns.

I am once again asking you to stop conflating federal politicians you hate with Washington, DC, a 90% Democratic and plurality black city that doesn’t get a vote in Congress but is uniquely vulnerable to federal meddling

I am reluctantly coming to the conclusion that The Dictator and his pals will stop at nothing to rig the 2026 elections, including declaring martial law & seizing voting machines for phony “recounts.”

We had best start looking at tactics that deal successfully with autocracies.

Christiane Amanpour: Netanyahu talked about territorial dominance before he ever even spoke about the hostages. This will go down badly in history. It is unconscionable that we have not been able to tell the full story to the world. I've never seen any democratic nation forbid outside journalists.

Sign that your 9YO may have two lawyers for parents:

Me: “You’re not complaining, are you?”

9YO: “No. I’m just stating my feelings in an aggravated tone!”

A record 29% — nearly a third! — of all new cars purchased in California during July, August, and September were zero-emission vehicles.

DC may be fine with selling out American innovation to China, but California will keep charging ahead toward cleaner air for our communities.

There's no "regular politics" anymore because you can no longer maintain the idea that we all agree on common goals but we only differ about the means of getting there or whatever. The guys in charge now are plainly amoral, sadistic nihilists. They delight in it! You can't civilly disagree with that

Auspicious start for the new CBS News, laundering unattributed cop shit-talking through the incoming editor-in-chief’s blog and failing to correct a misspelling of the story subject’s name in the web headline for three days.

In case you got lost in the steaming pile of bullshit Speaker Johnson’s been shoveling, the shutdown fight Democrats are holding the line on is about healthcare for hard-working Americans.

Leader Jeffries isn’t flinching, isn’t wobbling; he’s been consistent and hasn’t wavered on this issue.
