Extraordinary moment — Nancy Pelosi issues a statement calling on Democratic senators to reject the House funding bill, i.e. to defy Chuck Schumer.
"Democratic senators should listen to the women," she says, referring to Murray/DeLauro who want a 1-month stopgap bill instead.
If the SEC won't stop traders from shorting Tesla, I'm going to become an even bigger libertarian.
Oh wait, no cars aren’t supposed to be THERE. Beaverton TC?
This was so hard to read… “I don’t want it to be on the ballot” like that means it’ll become law. Maybe stop having bad ideas so your way of life is considered?
I do support higher thresholds for taxing though, this piecemeal approach we currently have is really stupid

it’s worth stating that literally nobody voted for this, and if they keep wantonly dismantling the government the 2026 midterms will be biblical
This morning at Dept of Housing and Urban Development (HUD) HQ in DC as mandatory return to office began, this video played on loop for ~5 mins on screens throughout the building, per agency source.
Building staff couldn’t figure out how to turn it off so sent people to every floor to unplug TVs.
This is genuinely an important article. The two main lessons from Hungary appear to be:

Authoritarians like Orban and Trump rely on opposition being unwilling to believe that what is happening is actually happening. That’s their window.

Video obtained by CNN shows the rear landing gear of the jet buckling and the right wing shearing away in a fireball after the plane landed hard on the runway.
I hope America is as lucky as the delta jet - everyone survives but the right wing explodes

Brianna Keilar: Do you think that calling Elon Musk a dick is effective messaging?

Oregon only has one minimum wage and yet I still tip 20ish percent because guilt, but really loathe the system. A few spots in town are bucking the trend thankfully, but it’s not widespread enough

I wrote about some bills introduced this session to improve passenger rail service in Oregon. That mostly means more Amtrak Cascades service, but the sponsors are also thinking about the former Pioneer route in eastern Oregon and possible connections for Willamette Valley and Central Oregon cities.
This is the way. Keep the message simple: Elon has his grubby hands all over your money

There are a million things to be outraged about right now (this is by design). My number one is, trans people don’t have the numbers to defend themselves from all the ways these people are trying to strip them of their humanity. Feels like a “first they came for (x) and I did not speak out” moment

We need to shift our messaging from "Democrats SHOULD talk about..." to just SAYING IT ourselves (I'm guilty too). Don't lament the asymmetry in the media; we already know the media would destroy Biden if he blamed a plane crash on some amorphous framework like DEI. Instead, start making the case:
