@UltraLinx I kept up pretty much the whole way through. Interesting. I’ve always been a pretty fast reader with high comprehension from the time I started reading (started late, though).

Can you read 900 words per minute? Try it.

Unavoidable conclusion: SCOTUS has put 1 man in America above the law & created a king. Not the first time a case has been decided wrong. The fix for democracy lies, as it did in Dred Scott, with fixing a broken decision. Hopefully this one won’t require a civil war. nytimes.com/2025/11/26/us/…

Don’t let anyone tell you this isn’t a slow motion car crash.

A militarized operation against Americans is happening in Chicago right now. Armored vehicles and masked agents targeting peaceful protesters have no place in a free society. Illinois is not a war zone and I will keep fighting to protect our communities. cbsnews.com/chicago/news/p…

The government is in full shutdown and the Republicans are refusing to call the House back into session. Want to know why? Because we have secured the final vote on releasing the Epstein Files and they don’t want it out. Call GOP and tell them to swear in @AdelitaForAZ.

I've lived through multiple shutdowns. You don't do layoffs. You don't fire people. On rare occasions, paychecks have been delayed but employees are paid after the shutdown ends. No one loses their job.

@rabbi_beth @aziz0nomics It’s not about not knowing. It’s just that some days, it takes a smart person (or let’s be real here, an overthinker) to do something spectacularly stupid.

@scissorchef @aziz0nomics Not knowing things doesn’t mean that you’re stupid. I take ignorance to mean that you just don’t know; it’s not the same thing as being incapable of learning.

What's your IQ?

This is disgusting. Even in the era of no shame, it’s shameful. nytimes.com/2025/07/17/us/…

Maurene Comey, in letter to colleagues after her firing: "If a career prosecutor can be fired without reason, fear may seep into the decisions of those who remain. Do not let that happen. Fear is the tool of a tyrant, wielded to suppress independent thought. Instead of fear, let this moment fuel the fire that already burns at the heart of this place. A fire of righteous indignation at abuses of power. Of commitment to seek justice for victims. Of dedication to truth above all else."

@dieworkwear I went to grade school and junior high with Jamie. Glad to hear she’s doing well (school kids were not good to her).

I've found the perfect Instagram account. Seattle's Twice Sold Tales owner Jamie recommends books and shows her cats. That's it. IG twicesoldtales

@TheTNHoller @newrepublic @RepTimBurchett It’s also likely that the merch came with a side of metaphorical horse’s head in their beds.

The @newrepublic on how @RepTimBurchett sold out his constituents for some crappy merch from Trump and a compliment. (The truth is he was never gonna vote no, he just needed a pat on the head from daddy) newrepublic.com/post/197596/tr…

Happy 4th! As we celebrate our freedom today – we do so with the reminder that those freedoms are never free. That our democracy is not guaranteed. And that the American Dream requires work. From all of us – now more than ever.

17 million people just lost health care. 18 million kids just lost school meals. 3 million Americans just lost food assistance. And $3.5 trillion was added to the deficit. All for a tax cut for Trump’s billionaire donors. The ultimate betrayal.

@TheTNHoller We are so fucked

Trump’s trillions transfer has passed. Tax cuts for the rich, health care and program cuts for everyone else, adding Trillions in debt, while making Trump’s Gestapo one of the most expensive armies in the world. A dark day. 🇺🇸

.@HakeemJeffries has been standing strong on the House floor for 4+ HOURS to delay the final vote on Trump's budget bill: "I'm still here to take my sweet time."

Josh once chaired the Tennessee Libertarian Party

It costs taxpayers $89,425 to incarcerate one person at Trump’s “Alligator Alcatraz” per year. That’s more than what 95% of Americans spend on housing and food. Republican priorities: Waste tax dollars torturing immigrants, while cutting support for working class families.
