I was at a city government function a few years ago and some lady said, "The government thinks we're all stupid!" Another guy stood right up, looked around and said, "That's only because most of you are." I was dying.

MI UPDATE: Abdul El-Sayed is currently surpassing expectations across the board in the Michigan Democratic Senate Primary.
The problem is, even if there is a process, it relies on people being transparent and the senate enforcing the rules. And that is clearly not going to happen in this regime.
This went a little different than his nightly interviews with Sean Hannity.
ICYMI: We took our message directly to Texans in the first statewide debate of the election. This campaign is about putting working Texans first & taking on the Greedy Few who rig the rules for everyone else. Texans are proving that organized people can beat organized money when we stand together.
The Spokane fire conspiracy theories are almost identical to the Altadena fire conspiracy theories. These people have no understand of how fire works, how science works, or why some things burn. I'm writing a book chapter about it, but the people who need to read it don't read books.
LorennaCleary.bsky.social@lorennacleary.bsky.social · yesterdayThe internet is filled with really dumb people who right now think the fires in Spokane WA were fake because the houses burned but trees didn’t. What they’re forgetting is that dead, thin, dry wood burns. Wet, dense, living wood is harder to burn. Old living pine and house vs fire: house loses.

I am so tempted to send a picture of my dogs butthole to all these unsolicited political texts. Also, congrats Missouri and Kansas on the middle finger to these republifucks.
I love the Cleveland WNBA team's new name -- if you're gonna crib from a popular movie, I'd take this one over Toronto's Raptors -- but I can't wait for their first rocky stretch. www.espn.com/wnba/story/_...

The proposition that the president of the United States is an adjudicated rapist isn't an argument. It is a fact.

You could have voted to impeach in January 2000. Instead, you voted for no witnesses and no documents to be allowed at trial. You are a failed person, Cornyn.

Via @oliverdarcy.bsky.social: www.status.news/p/david-elli... CNN reporters were not amused by David Ellison's op-ed in the NYT.
![The piece was "insulting," one CNNer told Status, adding, “We all have eyes and ears and see what’s happening at CBS. You can’t just write an op-ed and erase that.” Another CNNer said it was obvious to them Ellison "says whatever is best for him to get the merger through."
"The thing David Ellison seems to be missing is the wild mismanagement and disrespect that Bari [Weiss] has displayed at '60' and CBS," a third CNNer told Status. "These people just simply do not know what they are doing. We see it. And we don’t want it here."
Indeed, several CNNers said that Ellison's stewardship of CBS News had caused them to lose confidence in his ability to run a news organization and sour on his repeated assurances about respecting the independence of newsrooms. In The Times essay, Ellison wrote, "I understand that promises from an executive in the middle of a merger invite skepticism. So judge us by the year we just had."
But the last year at CBS News has been an unmitigated disaster. Most notably, Ellison allowed his handpicked news chief to take a sledgehammer to "60 Minutes," firing multiple correspondents and senior executives from television news' most prestigious broadcast—in most of the cases, without ever stating a cause for the dismissals. Beyond that, Weiss' tenure has been defined by her expunging those she is not ideologically aligned with, presiding over the worst ratings of the century for flagship programs like the "CBS Evening News" and "CBS Mornings," establishing a cozier relationship with an overtly corrupt White House, and sending employee morale cratering to astonishing lows.](https://cdn.bsky.app/img/feed_thumbnail/plain/did:plc:bbp2b224lro3bfnzcqwwnkfo/bafkreicybrw5xm7wnrleduxjtlfwlrcvjzs7qwwjijswwlluzh5x67iadi)
