for anyone who missed this yesterday... check out my new story on *all state supreme court races* happening this year, with 60+ seats up, and you can also bookmark it to it as a resource through the fall!
I’m at the hearings for the four UNSG candidates. In her opening statement alone, Michelle Bachelet spoke to the challenges facing the world in a way that was both direct and compassionate, presenting a vision of the United Nations as a home for dialogue.
The full write-up will be sent out tonight.
XIV. Battering ram
Warsh hearing so far has been kind of frustrating. No one has asked the questions that seem most relevant to me:
1) is Trump's criminal investigation into Powell appropriate?
2) what would you do if Trump threatened retribution against you if he didn't like your actions/Fed policy decisions?
Insane corruption.
And if Lutnick is profiting from the end of tariffs you can bet Trump is getting a taste.
WARREN: That's not my question. Are you refusing to tell us if you have investments in vehicles set up by Jeffrey Epstein?
KEVIN WARSH: Those assets will be sold if I'm confirmed
Huge. Huge. Huge. 💪🏼🗳️🇺🇸🇺🇸🇺🇸
Whoa, this is crazy. Who does it best, Hollywood or Mother Nature? #ReedTimmer 🌪️🌪️
Let’s go VIRGINIA! 🗳️🇺🇸 Vote YES tomorrow for all of us. You have the power to stop efforts to steal the mid-term election through the gerrymandering in other states. Level the playing field & make this fair. VOTE YES!
Wait, what? Was there a vote today? This piece is from Feb 12.

I think the malignant narcissist shows up bc he sees this as his big Obama moment. His opportunity to try and refute Obama’s perfect mic drop Gary Busey joke that will live in infamy. Plus, Stephen Miller has already written the jokes about ICE killing American’s & Melanie’s been paid so …
Maddow: "Do we think our servicemen and women are in good hands? Do we think that there is care being taken in terms of what they're risking their lives for?"
It was always about punishing Blue voters and hurting the economies of Blue states to make their leaders look bad. Trump repeatedly says he’s targeting Blue states which is diametrically opposed to the Oath of office he took, one of the many impeachable acts he has committed.
The fact that every major police union endorsed Donald Trump is under appreciated in our political discourse.
The currently escalating tech backlash must be put in the context of:
“people have been listening to the most insufferable techbros in the world gleefully threaten everyone else with mass unemployment for over 6 years, and they’re sick of their shit”

Lol, is Bernie Sanders going to have to drop "billionaires" from his "fight the oligarchy" speech now? Or is he going to means-test which billionaires he rails against?
What a conundrum! 😂😂😂😂😂
one of my favorite parts of the onion infowars saga is how Alex Jones lost his fucking mind when they first bought it,,,,, partly because he didn't know or understand what the onion was
This is hilarious. Better than any reality TV. “Polish on the jackboot.”
We cannot reform the cruel pack mentality of these men who took glee in committing atrocities against fellow Americans & human beings in our streets. They killed people. Atrocities are still going on behind closed doors in detention facilities. They must be prosecuted. Tear it down then rebuild.
Saying "no man, you don't get to win this time" to evil people who have the power of the entire corrupt government behind them has to feel pretty fucking good
Apparently Sam Altman also wrote a manifesto (on top of Marc Andreessens a while back). Are there others?
Genuine question: why do we think the tech bros are doing this? Which need does this fulfill for them?
Democrats should make the confirmation hearing on the nominee to be U.S. Attorney General all about the Epstein files.
If you won’t commit to release the files without redactions and prosecute the Epstein class, then you’re obstructing justice, not enforcing it.
investigate everyone involved in DOGE
X post by Xavier Becerra: "Steve Hilton appears in the Epstein files. I'm sure he'll explain himself." Screen shot of email from July 24, 2011 from Jeffrey Epstein to Ian Osborne, asking if David Cameron could be at a meeting - the email quotes Osborne who asks if Woody Allen could be present at a meeting with Epstein and Rohan Silva, head of then Prime Minister Cameron's policy unit and Steve Hilton, Director of Strategy.
🧵With @becerraforca.bsky.social surging in the polls, & @realtomsteyer.bsky.social doing well also, this is a good time to remind Californians that Brit Steve Hilton, Brexit fan, Fox News personality, & Trump endorsed, also appears in the Epstein files! No MAGA Gov for CA!
Idk y’all. Allbirds shoe company decides to become a tech co & pivots to Newbird AI & upscale luxe fashion house Coach plans to sell coffee.
Not sure what this extreme rebranding means but it feels odd. The first few analyst calls when they all pretend to know what they’re doing should be fun.
We need a matriarchy run by lesbians with clipboards and earpieces who do not take any shit.
