Arrived in Atlanta and every fiber of my body wants to go high five or fist bump literally everyone of the hundreds of people wearing Indana Hoosiers gear walking by. I’m literally telling myself, “just nod and smile” over and over in my head. The Peach Bowl game can’t kick off soon enough.
Good morning to all the fellow Kansas City parents following the Chiefs Sunday Night Football game.
The richest man on earth owns X. The second richest man on earth is about to acquire TikTok and his family could soon own both Paramount and Warner Bros. The third richest man owns Facebook, Instagram, and WhatsApp. The fourth richest man owns The Washington Post. See the problem here?
I feel like this photo of masked, armed men pepper spraying a pastor protecting his community is going to be a defining picture of this moment in America for a long, long time.
They just tear-gassed us. They tried to run us over in a van holding a peaceful protester. They shot us with pepper balls. They dragged another protester into the facility.

I’m not a NYC resident, but Brad Lander’s steadfast leadership, empathy, and ability to hold people in power accountable has been impressive. I know many NYC & American Jews have real concerns about Mamdani, but watching him and Lander truly support one another gives me hope.

Everyone who has ever come into contact with Donald Trump has been screwed over by him. But I never thought it would happen to me.
Raskin: You are not our king, and we are not your subjects. We will never be your subjects. All of us born here on this land are citizens and your executive order is nothing but bad graffiti on the Constitution, and we're going to wash it off today

House Republicans have passed Trump’s budget bill that cuts Medicaid, food stamps, and vital government services to give tax cuts to billionaires. The bill would kick 9 million Americans off their health care coverage, 3 million off of food stamps, and add $3.8 trillion to the federal deficit.
A bill to make sure poor people stay hungry, sick, and dying so rich people can be slightly richer. Actually evil. We need to make people understand it in those terms and not something about “budgets” or “house reconciliation bills”
Ben Wikler@benwikler.bsky.social · last yr.Bringing this to Bsky bc @steverattner.bsky.social hasn't posted it yet and it's so critical. The entirety of the cuts to Medicaid and food benefits are to pay for tax cuts for people earning more than half a million a year. Call Congress: 202-224-3121
