Only 20 pages in and @kamalaharris.com's book #107Days is completely engrossing, better than I'd even hoped. I have to tear myself away from it to get groceries.
It's answering all the questions I'd had a year ago about what was going on.

Just a vile individual. The #GOP, unfortunately, is chock-full of them.

The American dream feels impossible for many young voters, who see no political fix

We asked readers whether young Americans today can still have a better life than their parents. They responded with stories of economic hardship and growing disillusionment with leaders in Washington.

Just saw that #BackToTheFuture is back on screens for its 40th anniversary. Be pretty great to see it back on the big screen again.
Still recall the day I saw it in theaters in Spokane. #FunFact: MJF and Lea Thompson had met only 10 min. before the bedroom "Calvin Klein" scene.

More than 42 million people across more than 22 million households relied on #SNAP benefits every month during fiscal year 2025, according to the USDA.
And you want to make their lives harder by cancelling this key program? Shameful and inhumane.

If you're a fan of #AlmostFamous, you'll appreciate this @cbsmornings.bsky.social interview with #CameronCrowe, his start in journalism with @rollingstone.com at the tender age of 15, and his new memoir #TheUncool.
I can't wait to pick it up!

Their entire political world depends on keeping up this "reality show" script that centers on Donald Trump and the world he writes every day. It's literally a cult of personality that is dependent on a reality show of lies, and they'll fight anyone to keep that show on-air at any cost.

So many people will need to be sent to prison after this.

Basically Rambo in First Blood: Part II: bulging muscles, ammo strapped over his shoulder, massive bowie knife at his side, raiding legal U.S. citizens' homes and leading little kids outside in the cold to be deported. 🙄

Still no healthcare plan, or even concepts of a plan, after they gave Lesley Stahl an empty book.

And people STILL believe a single word coming out of trump's mouth? Absolutely ridiculous.

Anything to serve der Fuhrer. Reagan wasn't cruel enough, Jesus's Sermon on the Mount is considered "liberal talking points," and Jesus's teachings "don't work anymore," and are now repositioned as "weak."

A former evangelical leader is sounding the alarm about the direction his religion is headed in.

Here's #AndrewCuomo doing @zohrankmamdani.bsky.social's job for him. No better campaign material than this.
Cuomo's name is burned, Adams's name is burned, and you're trying to campaign off of both??
Fascinating.

Man who cut a deal with Trump to avoid conviction for corruption and bribery endorses man who resigned after being credibly accused of sexually abusing 13 women.

All to convince you that the Muslim guy running on affordability for working people is a danger. Hilarious.

Trump will negotiate with Hamas.

He will negotiate with a Russian dictator sworn to destroy America.

He will (allegedly) negotiate with India & Pakistan over a region he couldn’t find on a map.

But he will NOT negotiate with democrats to save millions of Americans from losing their healthcare.

This is the result of conservatives' desperation to own the left, even if it completely decimates the country they claim to love so much.
They embraced fascism.

Carney: But this decades-long process of an ever-closer economic relationship with the United States is now over. And as a consequence, many of our former strengths as a country—more particularly, our economic strengths based on close ties to America—have now become our vulnerabilities…

ICE has purchased guided missile warheads.

Guided missile warheads.

This needs to be the lead story on every news channel.

In every newspaper.

It seems like they’re preparing to go to war with America.

It's so hard to fathom the fact that this is real. This is actually happening.

Just making up the rules he wants and daring anyone to challenge.
So challenge him.
