Election Day will open with D.C. Circuit arguments over the Trump administration's efforts to prevent members of Congress from investigating ICE facilities as part of their oversight responsibilities. The panel includes two Dem appointees, but also Katsas, who worked in Trump's first White House.

Trump: "With the war, it's just artificial. It's a little bit high. It's a small price to pay ... let them take out Los Angeles, let them take out San Diego. This is a very small price to pay."

Trump calls Natalie on stage, checks out her legs, calls her "perfect," then floats creating a reality show w/ her -- & other lowlights from his rally tonight in Nebraska (Including Trump saying of Iran, "Let them take out Los Angeles, let them take out San Diego. This is very small price to pay")

This is really worth a listen. It also speaks to California's Proposition 40 taxing billionaires to close the gap on healthcare funding in the state.

I keep thinking, they can't be this cartoonishly evil, can they? And then

The Library is devastated to learn of the passing of Dolly Parton, a music legend and titan of children's literacy. Her Imagination Library program has earned multiple Library Literacy Awards and, in 2018, she visited us to donate its 100 millionth book to our collection and host a story time. 🦋❤️

Please don't overreact to Roberts Court decision on the contemplated USPS ballot moves They simply held that the injunction came too early in the process, before there was a final rule👇 Now we HAVE a final rule & we will litigate it. I'm as confident in our arguments here as in any of our cases!

Not only did they absolutely beg for this, they made it so that “merit” was synonymous with being white so now you’re stuck with precisely the kind of moron who believes that. www.politico.com/news/magazin...

The anti-data center movement is like "I don't want to pay more money for a thing that will not benefit me at all and will actively make my life measurably worse in a bunch of ways" and the pro-data center movement is like "We want it to be illegal for you to not like us."

Dear @schiff.senate.gov Is this the “never disagreeable” Lindsey Graham you’re talking about? C’mon man, do better.

This is the best idea. Why aren't we hanging out with glass blowers and book binders? If we're working on a project destined for print, let's visit the printer and the mail house. #RetreatFromOffice

Hey! Here’s a PSA!

i have been obsessed with this for years. allowing manufacturers to sell direct to consumers would be good for consumers and also destroying the car dealership would be an existential crisis for republicans

I miss clever, sober, focused leadership. I hope our Canadian friends will forgive us some day, but I recognize that it won't be any time soon.

I don't like to do this, but I could really use a new gig. If you need somebody to write about your tech products and projects, I'm your guy. If you know somebody who needs to sell things, reach new audiences, or tell some jokes, I'd love to talk to you. bobtherieau.com

Dozens of people showing up at members’ town halls in 2009 was enough for The Media to declare the Tea Party Movement™️ as a key force in American politics — for years — as the Obama administration was getting going. Consider that when you see how those same papers cover today’s protests.

As I posted in the other thread, I'm not in favor of outing closeted people who mind their own business. But closeted politicians who undermine out LGBTQ people's rights are fair game. So let despicable Lindsey have it, Dr. Annie Andrews!

Men need to women up and know when to help. This is the domestic violence hand signal.

if you believe in any form of free enterprise at all, the idea that the Pentagon can not only cut off your contract but designate you a supply chain risk and prevent other companies from buying from you just because you won't build killbots for the government should be terrifying

As state terror amps up, here's a list of actions you can take now-- a lot of resources and a list of upcoming virtual trainings on a number of topics:

Have them on the broadcast! Let them say it with their full chest and put their name and face on it.
