Whelp, here’s the language for my tweet when it happens…

Republicans control all 3 branches of government. Democrats introduced 7 bills to fund TSA. Each one was blocked by Republicans.

John Fetterman's had a 108 pt drop in his net approval with PA Dems since 2023. His net rating is -40 pt net approval with them. His net popularity with his own party is worse than all senators who lost a primary this century. There's no historical analog to his unpopularity.

Trump has trashed the economy and the Constitution. But that liberal polyamorous woman who was profiled in the Atlantic is just so cringe. I have never felt more politically homeless.

NEW: President Trump makes four false claims in a 43-word post about Tina Peters. Peters is 70 (not 73), does not have cancer, was sentenced by a judge in Mesa County (not the Governor), and did not expose fraud in the 2020 presidential election.

“Although President Donald Trump says he has ‘destroyed 100% of Iran’s Military Capability’, the 0% that remains is playing havoc with the global economy.” -The Economist

@youknowkempa City Council formed a subcommittee to review/rename.

wondering where Sacramento is on the Cesar Chavez Plaza name

Has the person who shot Alex Pretti in the back while he was facedown in the street been arrested yet.

Here is what’s really going on with regard to the funding stalemate in Congress. ICE agents shot and killed two U.S. citizens on the streets of Minneapolis. Democrats then said: before we write you another check, agree to the same rules every police department in America already follows. Judicial warrants before entering homes. Visible ID. Body cameras. No raids at schools and hospitals. We immediately pushed for votes to fund TSA, the Coast Guard, and FEMA. Republicans blocked it. We tried to fund FEMA alone. Republicans blocked that too. Their position was to fund ICE with no strings attached, or shut the whole thing down. So DHS shut down. Then yesterday, the White House sent a letter admitting we were right. But they still won’t agree to judicial warrants or to take the masks off, which means agents can still break down your door without a judge’s approval and you still can’t see their faces when they do it. We’ve been ready to fund your airport security since day one, not to mention Coast Guard, FEMA and the rest. Republicans chose to protect ICE from accountability instead. #FundDHSFreezeICE

For the record, the president of the United States is now simultaneously claiming that he has won the war, is currently winning the war, needs help to win the war, and needs no help to win the war. All to destroy the nuclear program he claims to have already destroyed last year.

2028 is gonna be a great year…

Hold up, let me go shoot a video response to this story while walking around the streets of New York.

Damn. I’m no political expert here, but it’s almost like the Mayor of the most expensive city in the state, who had almost zero statewide name ID, and was backed by a bunch of tech bros who disdain the working class, had no business getting into this race…

absolute banger from Max

Every candidate Khanna endorsed in a competitive primary lost

@CapitolEVAN @SouthwestAir I was averaging 70+ flights a year with them for YEARS. Immediately switched carriers when they announced the changes. Not as many directs but way better than dealing with SW’s aging fleet and declining customer service.

.@SouthwestAir had a goddamn MONOPOLY in intra-state air travel and then squandered it with the new pricing/boarding/seating/baggage policies. Now I relish finding competitors flying in and out of Sacramento who are CHEAPER. Just an incredible John Fisher-like heel-turn by SWA.

Actually, the guy who was the point person for Iran at the White House and was fired by the Trump Administration after being Loomered wrote EXACTLY that warning 4 days before the war started. The article was titled “Why Iran Will Escalate.” But who needs experts… foreignaffairs.com/middle-east/wh…

@mnolangray Flood plain

Why did Sacramento's suburbanization extend the to the northeast and southeast, rather than to the north, west, or southwest—toward the prosperous Bay Area? (1/2)

Looking at this list like…
