Spent Saturday with President Obama and New York's Cutest — turns out my first name is Mayor and I need to be doing more squats. 

Here’s to building a City where families can thrive and every classroom is full of this much joy.

Someday, with luck and hard work, she will have a name too.

"This is what you get when you elect Republicans."

Every Dem within 100 feet of a camera needs to be saying this repeatedly.

Every time we elect Republicans, we get dumbass wars, tax cuts for rich people, and financial crises. Every time.

Fucking say it!

Happy Tax Day, New York. We’re taxing the rich.

This is not how a public servant talks in a democracy. This is how a dictator’s henchman talks.

Excellent post!

Important thread.

Viktor Orban accomplished so much of what the Trump movement wants to accomplish here

he ruled for 16 years and rewrote the rules in his favor

and still, they threw him out

and you know what? they did it by voting

don’t let anyone tell you voting doesn’t matter

The end of Viktor Orbán’s autocratic regime is a victory not just for Hungary, but for people who value democracy around the world. Congratulations to Tisza, to incoming leader Péter Magyar, and to Hungarians everywhere.

This must hit so hard if you’re incredibly stupid.

It's really something to be living through the worst President, the worst Supreme Court, and the worst Congress all at once

there are so many consequences of everyday people not really understanding how journalism works and people on here thinking there was some sort of massive media coverup of Eric Swalwell being a monster fundamentally is rooted in total misunderstanding of what real reporting requires.

Let's not forget Mark Twain's help with Grant's writing project.

I wanna point out something serious. The admin has been complaining about Iran winning the information war.

This same administration shut down Voice of America, and other information operations the US govt does.

It’s a self goal. Actions have consequences

Elementary school homework with the alphabet at the top. The question says: imagine you are a wizard with a magic wand. What kind of spells would you cast? What magical things would you do? A child's handwritten answer: If I was a wizard I would make life easy. because there will be no wars and no crimenals. I will disapear every bad guy in the world so no one will get hurt. There is a drawing of a blue sky, a yellow sun, a black wizard with a wand in his hand, and a crowd of people. There's a caption bubble with the wizard saying no wars, and a caption bubble over the crowd that says everybody cheers

this is my nephew's homework and i'm gonna cry

"I'm getting outsmarted by a smaller country that I'm unable to bully into submission."

"Hold my beer, Vlad."

Ex Deputy National Security Advisor for Strategic Communications and Speechwriting under Obama👇🏽

While Trump's assertion that "a whole civilization will die tonight" represents a discrete threat of genocide against Iran, the fact that it comes from a U.S. president, while Congress does nothing, actually represents a broader civilizational collapse — whether he follows through or not.

Millions of American voters wanted to be villains. They came to believe it’s the key to success, while goodness is weak, woke, loser stuff, done only to signal.

Offered the option of unvarnished villainy, they enthusiastically took it. Seeing others suffer more made them feel big.

And here we are.

Mamdani is not just filling the potholes with the crew. He's creating a visual and personal reminder of the dignity inherent in all of these anonymous government jobs.

We could’ve had this intelligent supremely qualified leader in the White House instead of a dangerous psychopath. I’ll never regret voting for her.

Someone said to me, "I'm sorry but I got your book from a library." Nobody should ever apologise for that. You read my book! That's brilliant! I grew up hanging out in libraries and the idea of a world without them fills me with dread. Without libraries, authors, like readers, will only suffer.

Hard to think through problems when we are in a mode where the current problem gets eaten by a bigger problem within hours.

I will just say, as a southerner born & bred, I have a great deal of sympathy for anyone thinking, "how did I get in this Waffle House?"

The end of Pax Americana.

there are so many things i hate about the fascist project, but administration officials making up increasingly absurd lies about the amazing mind of Donald Trump is way up there

If you’re using AI to write books, understand that’s not going to somehow get you respect or money like real writers who aren’t using AI to write books because we don’t get respect or money either.

Incredible footage from a United Airlines flight of the Artemis II launch.

the president of the United States is a madman seriously damaging the entire world
