There's always been a fight over the true story of America. I believe deeply in the story that says we’re all created equal, and that if we can treat each other with decency and respect, all of us will be better off.

I talk about this and more on the final episode of WTF with Marc Maron. Watch now:

Imagine doing everything right—working hard, saving for the future—only to lose your health care because your premiums doubled overnight.

I’m fighting to keep care affordable because Americans deserve leaders who have their backs when their health is on the line.

Republicans are going to cheat & gerrymander with the rubber stamp of the Supreme Court.

It will be very hard for Democrats to take back the House and Senate.

Meanwhile, Trump will send the military to crush protests, and when he gets desperate, he'll implement martial law.

Eyes wide open, folks.

I think Josh Reddick has been in the sports game long enough and knows what a grind it can be, that he asks this question, which to me is understandable. 325 million dollars for an unknown who's never pitched in the major leagues. It didn't strike me as spiteful. It was something else, like dismay.⚾

Molly Knight @mollyknight.bsky.social · 3h

I’ll say this about Josh Reddick. He hasn’t deleted this spiteful tweet about Yoshinobu Yamamoto even tho it’s shaping up to be one of the worst sports hot takes in recent memory.

How do you give a guy $325 million without ever throwing a pitch in MLB

Whether some of those GOP Republicans in the California Senate like it or not, and I hope they did vote to support this measure, I'm really glad that employees have increased protections from unscrupulous employers.💪🏿💪💪🏾💪🏻

More Perfect Union @moreperfectunion.bsky.social · 1d

California just banned employers from forcing workers to pay a debt, fee, or penalty to leave their job.

Bosses have increasingly been trapping workers with debts incurred in training and other exploitative fees.

Now that's illegal in the nation's biggest state.

The Protection Against Racial Gerrymandering in Section 2 of the Voting Rights Act is Constitutional. Just Read Section 2 of the 14th Amendment.

It’s Roger Moore’s birthday! This piece I wrote on his book about the making of LIVE AND LET DIE went wildly viral, sent the price of used copies of the book into the thousands for a spell, and very probably was a factor in the book being reprinted. web.archive.org/web/20170424...

To be clear:

LA County has declared a state of emergency BECAUSE OF the federal government.

The Feds, LA County is (correctly) saying, have CAUSED the emergency.

This is a striking political moment of internal collapse. Local govts feeling compelled to protect their ppl from … their own govt.

Los Angeles County officials voted on Tuesday to declare a state of emergency over ongoing federal immigration raids.

Hey. Hi. Tom Homan is on camera taking a $50k bribe and no one knows where the money went. If this was any other administration, this would be non-stop on the news. Why are we normalizing this stuff?
