I support democracy and the rule of law. Resist cynicism. Sailing, double bass and Borscht Belt humor.

When Democrats lose an election, we beat ourselves up over it for months.
When Republicans lose an election, they convince themselves within 24 hours that they really won.

800+ flights cancelled today because Elon took a chainsaw to the federal government and Trump won’t pay the remaining airport personnel.
Elon’s on his way to becoming a trillionaire.
Trump’s net worth has more than doubled inside a year.
Glad everything worked out for them.
How about you?

SNAP has existed for 60 years. Benefits have gone out every single month over those six decades, including during government shutdowns. Until now.
Make no mistake: The money is available to fund SNAP during this shutdown. Trump is making a choice to withhold it.
Don’t forget this.

The whole Red/Blue… Progressive/Conservative … even Republican/Democrat labels are all too narrowly binary to accurately reflect what is happening in America. Such descriptives are anachronisms.
What we’re talking about is something like the Trump Confederacy and then Everybody Else.

Easily several hundred people have packed into this plaza in Chicago's North Center tonight in response to ICE abducting a daycare worker early this morning.
This is a neighborhood that has largely been spared until now from the "Midway Blitz" terror campaign. But everyone knows someone affected.

Trump says he's sending the National Guard to crime-ridden "hellholes," but homicide rates across major cities have been falling.
In Portland, murders were down 39%.
In Chicago, they were down 22%.
Trump's deployments are about authoritarian control, not "law and order."

The thing about Johnson not swearing in Grijalva is that’s it a test for 2026.
If you think they will accept an outcome they don’t like, they will just Grijalva it.
So what’s the plan when the GOP says “we ain’t leaving, fuck you, make us.”
Because that IS what they are going to say.

I've given my new Senator a lot of shit on here. But I don't think anyone with power has laid out the stakes of what we're facing as clearly as she does right here.
And if she's saying this, it's because she feels she must.
