There are just two more months in the primary calendar! For this penultimate month, I'm donating $1000 to Kaela Berg, running for Minnesota's 2nd Congressional District. She's a flight attendant and a union leader, is a Minnesota State Rep and ready to shake up the US House. kaelaforcongress.com

Kaela Berg is a mom, a lifelong Minnesotan, a State Representative, a flight attendant, a union leader, and a bookworm. Now, she's running for Congress.

I wish local Amazon logistics managed deliveries better. Almost every delivery starts out this way: - Out for delivery by 11:30 - Now between noon and 1:30 - Now between 2 and 4 - and now? Between 4:15 and 6:15 Sometimes they go to between 9 PM and 11 before giving up and saying "tomorrow". Maybe.

@svdate.bsky.social I liked your novels. Any chance of bringing the backlist out in ebook form?

Tried watching Trump speaking, but I couldn't follow any of it. Run-on sentences, non-sequiturs, slurred words, and a droning monotone. How will this push his followers? I guess his operatives will come up with sound bytes and claim he said them.

UTC only for the win. If we're going to uncouple the idea of 12 noon having the sun near zenith, then let's go all the way. New Yorkers, who seem to start work late anyway, can head the office around 15:00Z. While we're out, ISO 8601 date formats for EVERYTHING.

It is very cunning of Lindsey Graham to die to divert attention from Mitch McConnell.

Mitch McConnell still hospitalized after EMS responded to his home for "unconscious" person last month

A spokesperson said the Kentucky Republican "continues to improve."

When elected officials swear to uphold the constitution, I want them to do it in writing, reading each paragraph out loud in public and initializing each one in blood (okay, in indelible ink). They should at least KNOW what they are swearing an oath to. It's clearly the only way they will.

I hate to be all "the Constitution didn't fail us; we failed the Constitution," but no legal foundation can protect itself from its executors refusing to implement it.

We're coming down to the wire on primary season. This month I'm donating my $1000 to a Senate, rather than House challenger: Peggy Flanagan for Minnesota. The current Lt. Governor, she's new to Federal politics, and has a great set of pro-freedom positions, not business as usual. peggyflanagan.com

this + if any Supreme Court justice *doesn't* reject Trump's attack on the constitutional order in the birthright citizenship case, Congress would have good cause to pursue impeachment it's that flagrant 9-0 or they've got to go

Moderates in the 80s were different from moderates in the 40s, and moderates today aren't the same as moderates in the Reagan era. But the Democratic establishment still ARE the same kind of people as in the 80s. We've advanced and they haven't, so we're tossing them out! Good riddance.

Mark Zaid, Esq@markzaidesq.bsky.social · last mo.

We are witnessing MAGA equivalent of destruction of Democratic Party through election of progressive Socialists. If you think this ends well for country, I believe you're sadly mistaken. Extremism on one side simply fuels opposite growth on other side. We need moderates.

C'mon, John, tell us what you really think about Mike Collins.

I remember reading about Churchill and Roosevelt publicly threatening on June 5, 1944 that there would be "a very hard attack tomorrow" in Normandy. That's just good military planning. www.theguardian.com/world/live/2...

Middle East crisis live: Trump threatens ‘very hard’ attack on Iran tonight and says US will seize Kharg island

President says US will take vital fuel hub ‘in not too distant future’ and will ‘assume total control of their oil and gas markets’

Google has been aggressively fucking up the services I use. Web search has become useless due to stupid AI - I've switched to @duckduckgo.com. Google TV search has been replaced by Gemini, which has search as a second level option, adding a click. And Messages for Web now only runs on one browser?

I changed the Google Search url to eliminate AI answers, and it also turned off all those helpful affordances. So I finally switched to Duck Duck Go, and TA-DA, all the handy affordances are back! Enter a tracking number, get a link to the tracker. Ask about sunset, get the actual answer.

You used to be able to google the time of the sunset, and Google would give you the exact time right on top every single time. Thankfully, with artificial intelligence, you can now ask Google what time the sun will set and it will conveniently tell you "I don't know."

Welcome to June! A new month means a $1000 to a new challenger for Congress. This month's donation goes to Bridget Brink of MI-07. She's running against one-term Republican Tom Barrett in a toss-up election. She's a former US Foreign Service and National Security Council member. bridgetbrink.com

Hello, May! Time for another $1000 to a challenger for Congress. This month's donation goes to Jordan Wood of ME-02 to replace Democrat Jared Golden, who is leaving office. The only Republican candidate is far right-wing former Maine Governor Paul LePage. electjordan.com

Jordan Wood for Maine

Medicare for All. Ban Corporate PACs. Stop Trump's abuse of power. Jordan was barricaded at the Capitol on Jan 6. He's the only Dem who can beat Paul LePage.

I don't think they were staged, but I also don't think Trump was grazed by a bullet in Butler, PA. I think his ear got a cut when he was taken down (properly) by the Secret Service, and as is his way, he used it to glorify himself. www.washingtonpost.com/business/202...

Many Americans think Trump assassination attempts were fake, survey finds

About 1 in 4 say the correspondents’ dinner shooting was staged, the poll found, including roughly a third of Democrats, as conspiracy theories spread widely online.

"Before Trump, a different president faced a threat at the Washington Hilton". Okay, @washingtonpost.com, do you mean Ronald Reagan, who was ACTUALLY SHOT and came close to dying? Are you equating someone who didn't even reach the same floor as Trump to that? www.washingtonpost.com/dc-md-va/202...

Before Trump, a different president faced a threat at the Washington Hilton

Decades before gunfire rang out during the White House correspondents’ dinner at the hotel, President Ronald Reagan was shot as he walked outside the venue.
