Mike Johnson has hinted that a lawn business might be his next chapter. While this is no more believable than anything else he says, I can picture him explaining how he never saw any rock, and these reports of a broken mower are the first he’s heard of it. meidasnews.com/news/mike-jo...

I had the chance to meet @knickerbockeroh.bsky.social, candidate for U.S. Representative for Ohio’s 10th District, tonight. It was refreshing to meet a person rather than looking at another campaign ad—and to meet some of my neighbors along the way. (Thread)

Our military leadership has no interest in the sanctity of human life. “Bad guy” or not, the taking of a life should be a heavy, somber occasion, not a spectacle for mass entertainment. Then again, Senate Repubs did confirm the drunk who axed a drummer. www.nbcnews.com/politics/tru...

I am hopeful that years from now the jurisprudence of Samuel Alito is pushed to the same corners as Plessy and Korematsu. His notion that “religious freedom” requires elevating a brand of Christianity above criticism turns the First Amendment on its head. abcnews.com/Politics/thr...

Exactly right-how does my marriage hurt anyone else’s practice of their religion. Why should any religion stop me from getting married and making a life commitment to the person I love.

IT'S TIME TO EXPOSE TRUMP'S MISAPPROPRIATION OF FUNDS !!! A pro-Trump group created his most recent $20M-three-minute ad... The NYT reported that Trump personally asked to find TAXPAYER MONEY to pay for his ads. And the grift list goes on right here ! 👇🏻 aaronparnas.substack.com/p/major-deep...

Major Deep Dive: Trump Is Defying Congress' Power of the Purse. Here’s a Roadmap for Investigating His Misuse of Taxpayer Funds

He was once forced to pay $2 million for misusing his own charity's money for politics. Now it's the federal Treasury. Here's the roadmap Congress needs.

Today I was honored to sign two copies of my book for a former barista at my local Starbucks, Christmas gifts for her grandmothers. I like to think of these fully-sourced limerick threads as what you might get if Heather Cox Richardson met Edward Lear (not endorsed by either).

Jewish leaders in Michigan are actively campaigning for Mike Rogers, a member of the party that gave us 'Jews will not replace us.' Even Josh Gottheimer, a Jewish Democrat, won't back Abdul El-Sayed due to his views on Israel. This has happened before. #DV1 #ProudBlue #Voices4Victory #USDemocracy

This is an important distinction. If stealing an election was about pressing a button, they wouldn’t be spending $7 million every day to save pro wrestling heel Ken Paxton. It’s an exercise in manipulation, and that is what we have to overcome.

Only if we let him. Musk absolutely stole 2024 for Trump, but not in the way people think. He spent hundreds of millions. He manipulated the X algorithm. He literally bought votes in multiple states. He didn’t - and can’t - change any votes, and nobody is falling for his bullshit this time.

A key feature of the “Big Beautiful Bill” was to decontextualize: give a gift to the wealthy immediately, while hiding the true cost to most Americans until after the midterms. The plan all along was to trick us, not help us. This GOP has to go. www.politico.com/news/2026/10...

Republicans tried to punt health care cuts until after the midterms. It didn’t work.

While most GOP-enacted cuts to Medicaid and other safety net programs won’t happen until 2027, Democrats are speaking to the voters already feeling the squeeze.
