Excellent. I can’t think of a more primary-worthy Democratic Senator.
GOOD:

"Progressive effort to primary Sen. John Fetterman ramps up:
The Working Families Party launched a website where, among other efforts, voters can request refunds from Fetterman’s campaign."

There will be demonstrations to thank Big Brother for raising the chocolate ration to twenty grams a week.
Brooke Rollins: "We've run over 1,000 simulations. It can cost around $3 a meal for a piece of chicken, a piece of broccoli, corn tortilla, and one other thing. So there is a way to do this that actually will save the average American consumer money."

Every couple of weeks we get a different description of the apparently awful stench coming off our necrotic president and I think it's high time the media nail down exactly what kind of rotten meat covered in women's perfume he actually smells like.

Wow...
This video is the perfect encapsulation of the illegal, thuggish, unprovoked, violent conduct of ICE. Rep. @benniethompson.bsky.social, I trust that you and the House Homeland Security Committee will have interest in this.

Another example of #BobWeir being a mensch, in this case in the fine company of the other Dead and Company musicians. I remember this seeing reports about this when it happened.
I filmed this backstage at a Dead & Company show, not long after the Parkland shooting. Bob Weir had asked to meet a group of student survivors — and the care, time, and respect he showed them was unforgettable. He always showed up to inspire the next generation. Fare thee well to a true legend.

I saw Bobby perform live more than any other musician and that's saying something.

Love won't ever die
No, never die
Love won't ever die
Never, never
Never die

RIP Bobby. You will be missed!
