“Why didn’t we have this Hillary in 2016?”
You did have this Hillary — you just falsely believed she was nothing but an ice-cold bitch.
Now that you’re dealing with Donald Trump, you wish that bitch were here to rescue you.
Really hard to look at this and all the other examples of bravery and kindness from ordinary people in this moment not think also of the tremendous cowardice exhibited over the past year by some of the richest, most well-protected people in business, media and politics
Klobuchar: "There have been three killings since the beginning of the year, and two have been committed by federal agents"
Great thread.
Not Jennifer Simard’s delivery of “she’s why I spent 4 years locked in that health [split second awkward pause] spa” making me laugh out loud on the subway while listening to the DEATH BECOMES HER cast album. Her voice is so full of personality it’s like I’m watching the show all over again
“Do not mock us.”
"'For anybody who's doubting justice, this is a light of hope, a hope and faith in the justice system in America,' he said..."

A show like "Dead Outlaw" is exactly why I love musicals.
The container is probably the most expansive of all the forms -- they can do and be anything!
The original American musical is (ironically) alive and well at the Longacre Theatre. Get. Tix. Now.
“Dead Outlaw” is glorious storytelling: odd, funny and tenderhearted, with a beautiful, hard-driving country score. A blissful and total escape from the outside world.
They have made the weird art. Go have some fun.
Take me with you
Every artist with a shred of integrity should boycott the Kennedy Center.
Remember those piece of shit private security guards who violently dragged a woman out of a GOP town hall in Idaho back in February? They’ve finally been charged.
A new study models the impact of the implosion of U.S.-funded disease treatment and prevention in the developing world — and suggests that Elon Musk and Marco Rubio will go down as among history’s greatest monsters if funding and effective administration are not restored.
Trump and Musk want to shrink the government by fiat without regard to who and what they hurt.
When Trump and Musk tout how much money they're saving by gutting cancer research and Social Security services, know this:
Their IRS cuts will cost $500 billion in tax revenue just this year. That's more than half the Defense budget.
None of their destruction is actually about saving money.
Your regular reminder that almost everything Trump is getting away with is not because of presidential strength, but because of congressional weakness and judicial deference.
The constitutional tools are already there to fix this, but those who can fix it are refusing to do so.
Someone should make a film about a mad king, say in the late 18th century, whose arbitrary rule and foolish decision-making inspired people in one of his colonies to create a political system in which power would be distributed more widely so as to avoid the harms of such mercurial policy making.
Congress could end the tariffs tomorrow but most members of Congress value their relationship with Trump more than the American economy
New York Times headline reading "New York says it does not intend to comply with D.E.I. order on schools"
Elementary school principals going where university presidents fear to tread...
What's the most romantic musical ever written and why is it "Brigadoon"?
My hot take: Lerner and Loewe wrote one good musical, and it's not the other one (or the OTHER one).
I may be tired and a little hoarse, but as I said again and again on the Senate floor, this is a moment where we cannot afford to be silent, when we must speak up.
There is a type of liberal/left bleakness that manifests itself in a compulsion to announce that nothing that doesn't fix everything means anything. The people who feel the need to keep expressing that are victims of our time (and this medium). But they are also ultimately enemies of improvement. >
A joy for musical-theater people (and maybe even some of the rest of you): Here are Brian D'Arcy James and Martin Moran reuniting in rehearsal for the Titanic reunion concert 17 years after the 1st production, while their costars watch and, one by one, start crying. www.youtube.com/watch?v=QzpR...
As of today, a new term has entered our language. A “rubio” is a spineless lump of nothing. Example: Don’t be such a rubio.
Egg prices have now surpassed $8 per dozen.
Medicaid is not for sale.
NASA is not for sale.
The Post Office is not for sale.
America is not for sale.
We have an obligation to resist kings. We outnumber them. And they can be overwhelmed.
the stock market is now below where it was when Joe Biden left office
The information landscape in the United States has reached a crisis point.
Billionaires and corporations are using the media outlets they control to curry favor with Trump.
The only way to fight back is to build out independent media.

Hell yeah. Hold the line. This is what we need people to do.
Slow things down, don’t comply in advance so the courts have time to stop them. It’s starting to work.
Received a letter from POTUS today purporting to remove me as Commissioner and Chair of the FEC. There's a legal way to replace FEC commissioners-this isn't it. I've been so fortunate to serve the American people and stir up some good trouble along the way. That's not changing anytime soon.
