Because of President Biden’s CHIPS and Science Act, we reached a preliminary agreement with Micron to build three new semiconductor factories in New York and Idaho, unleashing Micron’s investment of over $125 billion and the creation of over 70,000 jobs.

Hundreds of authors & staffers are boycotting PEN America over its stance on the war in Gaza. CEO Suzanne Nossel says the “essence of PEN is that you keep dialogue open no matter how passionate you feel.” #Velshi msnbc.com/ali-velshi/wat…

With the news about Kristi Noem killing her puppy, I’m proud that I authored the world’s FIRST law in 2010 that created an online “Animal Abuser Registry” for people convicted of abusing their pets. Similar registries have since been created worldwide.

Finally, we’re talking about this.

that Trump repeatedly floated executing people while he was in office is especially terrifying in the context of his current push for total presidential immunity.

These dogs have chewed my favorite shoes - several pairs, furniture, boots, pee'd on the floor. Never took them out & shot them.
Kristi Noem should NEVER be allowed to have another pet....or hold office. NEVER. #PuppyKiller

Here’s the thing, ALL Kristi Noem had to do was write ONE post for help rehoming Cricket for not having the temperament for a hunting /working ranch dog and countless rescue groups would’ve offered to train and place her in a home as solely a family pet. #KristiNoemIsAMonster

Just back from the Feed Store. Hope was waiting.

Trump wants to replace my democracy with a dictatorship. Biden wants to replace my gas stove with one of those magnetic induction ones that heat up incredibly fast. I have never felt more politically homeless.

I feel like it’s flown a bit under the radar that Trump would flip out and call for innocent people to be executed all the time.

I read that excerpt from Governor Noem's book about killing her dog and how things are different on the farm. I grew up on a farm and could hunt and shoot a rifle before I could ride a bicycle. What she said was crap. Not all hunting dogs work out but you don't kill them.…

Someone stop Elise Stefanik before she tries to strangle a kitten.

Great comeback !

My theory: Kristi Noem decided that she needed a way to set herself apart from other prospective Trump running mates by demonstrating to him that she can: 1) be ruthless and 2) “trigger the libs” effortlessly.

And after much thought, she landed on telling the story of how she…

Reading the transcript of Bill Barr's interview on CNN last night in full really drives home the false equivalency he's attempting to draw.

The idea that regular policy issues (border/clean energy regs/school curriculum) represent the same kind of threat to democracy that Trump…

I believe, more than ever, Trump CAN be made to self-destruct. He needs to be chided, insulted, and laughed at. Mocked. His ability to let things go, has always been nil. His threshold for humiliation now, is lower than it's ever been. He's narcissistically battered, seriously…

Thread. Greg Sargent still stayin’ alive by interviewing @judgeluttig on this week’s fiasco at the Supreme Court. For context, Luttig had also criticized Justices for not engaging with the issues or law when they made a dead letter of the 14th Amendment’s Sec. 3 last March.

Another element: GOP, the party of gun violence, pardoning 1/6 cop-beaters, and excusing Trump’s antisemitism, will point to chaos on campuses as the fault of Biden and the libs and run as law-and-order and anti-antisemitism advocates.

Donating to a local no-kill shelter this weekend. In our house, all doggie quirks are cherished.
