Bezos on Trump: "I think he's a more mature, more disciplined version of himself than he was in his first term. Trump has lots of good ideas. He's been right about a lot of things. You have to give him credit where credit is due."

I love voting here in CA Election office notifies me by text when my Ballot is sent to me Post office notifies me by text when its picked up Elections office notifies me by text when they've received it Elections office notifies me by text when it's counted There's a reason Republicans hate CA, and this is one of them. Ease of voting should be this way all over the country. But republicans know if it was this easy everywhere, they'd never win another election

@FPWellman @katealee @SeanParnellASW @FBIDirectorKash My father was survivor of Pearl Harbor. He’s been gone for these past 18 years but I know in my heart of hearts that he’d be appalled by what Patel did. He is completely dishonorable in his actions.

Absolute bullshit. It is not standard to offer a snorkel dive at the Arizona. What is normal, and appropriate, that I have personally attended as I was stationed in Hawaii for three years, is an early morning visit to the memorial before it opens to the public and a wreath laying and lei drop into the water. We used to hold our promotion ceremonies there in Hawaii and it was a somber honor to stand amongst heroes to reaffirm your service. A beautiful place to raise your right hand and swear an oath to the Constitution. Patel did nothing honorable to mark the solemness of this heartbreaking memorial. It is one of the most sacred places in this country and you’re once again making excuses and blaming others for your stupid decisions. Kash Patel has nothing to do with the military or honorable service. This was a stupid tourist incel bro stunt and the reason you didn’t publish pictures or a story when it happened is because you all know how bad this looks. Stop blaming others for your stupidity and take responsibility.

This pathetic hit piece against @FBIDirectorKash Patel is why no one trusts the Failing New York Times anymore. At the invitation of Admiral Paparo, Commander of U.S. Indo-Pacific Command, Director Patel led a senior delegation to INDOPACOM to advance joint operations against our adversaries. As part of this engagement, the delegation participated in a similar tour of the USS Arizona. As is standard practice on these visits, their hosts arranged the same Pearl Harbor tour that has been offered for years to senior administration officials across multiple administrations. This is not a new or a one-off event. The Fake News media is simply trying to smear Director Patel’s name any way they can.

The Shallow State
The Shallow State@OurShallowState·
Good morning. I wanted to post this mental health lesson this morning about something called Emotional Stacking. The lesson starts with my dog Copper and becomes a lesson on how people can better handle emotions. (Dogs are awesome, btw, and we can learn a lot from them.) I adopted Copper 15 months ago; he was 6. He is large for a beagle, very muscular, probably a hound mix. One of the things that attracted me to him on the rescue's website was all their cautionary language about how he can be reactive. Reactivity in a dog is NOT the same as aggression - reactivity is fear-based; with triggers. I welcomed the challenge. Copper has been doing so well; he has an infectious high-pitched bark, a master scavenger, the entire neighborhood loves him. I post about him often - he is a very good boy and wants to be. He doesn't get triggered much outside the home anymore, but he sees the home, couch, and yard as resources, and can be protective. This morning, at 5:30A, he got triggered in the yard when he came face to face with a possum. I was able to separate them to avoid carnage, but it wasn't easy and when Copper's emotions get ratcheted, I have to be careful, especially when he growls at me. An hour after this incident, I took him to a Starbucks as I always do, but he was still amped. He barked at a couple dogs on the way, and at people inside Starbucks, in a not-so-friendly way. When a formerly reactive dog suddenly has a new reactive episode, it can be seen as regression. It can also be the result of discomfort. But not here. For Copper - it was "emotional stacking." Emotional stacking in dogs happens when multiple stressors build up over a short period and push a dog closer to, or beyond, a threshold. In other words, Copper's possum encounter had ramped up his emotions and he was still amped at Starbucks. Of course, dogs act on instinct and people - most people - are more reasoned. I didn't let anyone pet Copper today - because I was more reasoned than my dog and I wanted to negate the impact and instinctual behavior borne of his emotional stacking. The term emotional stacking IN PEOPLE is a series of techniques that involve recognizing and managing your emotions to distance yourself from triggers and thresholds from emotional buildup and help create a more positive mindset and emotional resilience. Many of us are going to want to understand and use this as we face the nefarious and uncomfortable days ahead, leading to the midterms - the big battle for our democracy. Awareness: The first step is to become aware of your emotions. This involves recognizing feelings that may seem small or insignificant but can accumulate, like with Copper and the possum. Reflection: Ask yourself questions. Reflect on the emotions you might be stacking. Ask yourself what triggers you. Reframing: Once you identify the emotions, work on reframing them - alter your perspective so that you can focus on solutions. For some, it will be affirmational, for others it will be renewed resolve, or the practice of self-care - like mindfulness, exercise, or hobbies that bring joy. Now let's bring it home: The Chaos Theory of authoritarians is meant to induce futility, apathy, and other reactions but what it really induces is emotional stacking. We need to be less susceptible to that, thru awareness and reflection. The MAGA base defaults to feelings and beliefs. They often suppress reasoned thought. They react to emotional stacking the way Copper did. They're not nearly as cuddly, but they're reactive dogs who don't have the propensity to be reflective - and that is our advantage. You and I need to be trained to win. We need to be more resilient AND to do that, more aware. We need to be Copper AND we need to be Copper's daddy at the same time and ensure that our emotional stacking impulses don't overwhelm and prevail. A combined awareness and focus WILL help us diffuse chaos and other weapons of authoritarianism and will be a competitive advantage against MAGA - a subculture that has trouble with truth and reflection. This will help us - and democracy - to prevail. (Pictured is Copper and me when we first met at the rescue; and Copper rolling in the yard 3 hours after the possum encounter, his emotional stacking subsided.)

@elsa6bean The alternative is a candidate hand selected by Trump to never, ever disagree with him. Including on Epstein and war. If Massie wins, Trump looks weaker than he ever has before.

I find Thomas Massie's politics detestable, but it's a degree of detestable that I can stomach and work with. He's got balls and a spine and actual beliefs, which is more than can be said for ANY other federally elected Republican. I genuinely hope he wins his primary.

Mike Johnson on mifepristone: "By mailing the drugs to women across state lines, you go around state laws. It's a serious problem. Abortions have increased in numbers since Dobbs overturned Roe, and that's a great concern to us. The mailing of this drug is a very dangerous thing."
