Hiya. Happy Sunday. Been looking at the ocean & felt like doubling down instead of backing off. 🕊️ Seems really was on one yesterday & I meant every word. Feels like we don’t need that molesting Ratner flop back around this town. God bless this scammy capitalist backdoor

I try to explain to people that even if I disagree with the left on a lot, ideology matters less than ever. Think about this. On Spotify, the top podcasts in the country at one point last year were NPR and NYT on the left, and Tucker and Candace on the right. Imagine aliens

Charles Murray DEI fatigues me too. This is not DEI. Eartha Kitt played Helen of Troy in 1950 next to Orson Wells. It is usually the left that insists that ethnicities need to match. I oppose that. Let directors cast whoever they think will be best in the role.

Anyone who calls Dems "useless" right now either doesn't understand Civics, hasn't been paying attention to the House, or is a deliberate agent of disinfo. Jeffries pulled off 3 discharge petitions in 3 weeks. Forced votes on ACA subsidies & Epstein files. AND HE WON THOSE VOTES.

The Democratic Party is far more effective than they have any right to be given their lack of electoral success, but the progressive extremists who push the Dems toward electoral failure just keep screaming that the Dems are weak losers who never Fight

Big opinion from the Oregon Supreme Court today in State v Roberts - The Court held that criminal cases without appointed counsel for an eligible defendant must be dismissed after 60 days for misdemeanors, 90 days for felonies. Today there are 4,344 unrepresented cases. #orpol

While we didn't know how this case would turn out until this AM, it was argued in May and this was a very real possibility. The state could have used the last nine months to expedite resolution of misdemeanors and minor felonies to free up defense attorneys, but nope.

Wow. The Trump admin failed to disclose relevant evidence to the defense in a case where Border Patrol shot a preschool teacher.

Iowa is in play this year, and don't let anyone tell you otherwise. I'm the only Democrat in this primary who can beat Ashley Hinson and flip this seat. Momentum is on our side, and we'll keep putting in the work to give Iowans a Senator who fights for them.

Prasad shut down this mRNA vax trial after his boss, longtime anti-vax crusader RFK Jr, shut down research on the mRNA platform. Moderna invested $750M on the trial. Companies are not going to invest going forward, and Americans lose out on promising tools for our health. This

Trump nominated a legit white nationalist to a top post at the State Department. I asked him some basic questions about his belief in the “erasure of white culture”. Watch this embarrassing, fumbling answer. Like he has never before been asked to explain his views.

Trump becomes president, ends military aid to Ukraine and Ukrainian civilian casualties spike to 2022 levels. Trump is helping Putin kill Ukrainians.

This aired tonight to 1 billion people in China. A year ago these robots could barely wave a handkerchief, now they can do backflips and kung fu with nunchucks. Physical intelligence is the next frontier.

Information DA Vasquez left out here is that his office is losing a high number of trials - meaning they are overcharging/inaccurately assessing cases. In 2025, Multnomah County DA's lost 51% of misdemeanor person crime trials. #orleg #orpol oregonlive.com/politics/2026/…

Dumping dangerous neurotoxins into the air and water to revive the economic fortunes of coal as an electricity source is an incredibly terrible idea. Once again, the only part of MAHA with any juice is anti-vax quack stuff. slowboring.com/p/trumps-terri…

The belief that Democrat victories in the face of an extremely unpopular administration means that the party is doing well/is popular is exactly what led to the election of trump in 2016 and 2024
