Congrats, @CBSNews and @tonydokoupil. After watching CBS News since I was a child with my parents, admiring a long line of anchors and reporters, I jumped ship to @ABC and @DavidMuir tonight. I can’t bear witnessing the destruction of #CBSNews. Thank god for @NewsHour .
I just got a report that the Minneapolis VA has stopped hiring workers thanks to a hasty Trump Executive Order.
They’ve rescinded offers to dozens of people who were going to fill critical roles to care for vets.
Literally crying in the Target parking lot right now. 🧵
I was struggling with unloading my toddler, my bags and wrangling an unruly cart (seriously — why do some lack power-steering?) A fire truck from Redondo Beach (E61) had just parked nearby and four firefighters got out.
@edokeefe Yes, like watching the death of democracy and decency played out as metaphor at this funeral. DJT is fidgeting and as bored as a toddler, seething with petty vengeance at the adults around him.
I need someone to explain to me why it’s always “if you can’t pay rent, buy fewer lattes and avocado toasts” and not “if you can’t pay your employees a living wage, buy fewer yachts and real estate”.
Explain it to me like I’m in kindergarten.
They receive $0 in taxpayer funds.
Meanwhile, y’all are proposing defunding Veteran’s healthcare, Medicare, and Social Security when you think no one is watching.
Doesn’t get lower than gutting some of the only lifelines left for veterans, seniors, widows, and the disabled.
Child care credit
Small business and entrepreneur credit
Student loan reform
Expand ACA
Free school lunch
programs for technical/vocational schools
Pro-Union
SO, what should Kamala Harris have said to the working class that she didn’t?
Holding back tears: “It was a terrible night for women, for children, for the hundreds of thousands of hard working immigrants who make this country great, for health care, for our climate, for science, for journalism, for justice, for free speech, for poor people, for the middle class, for seniors who rely on social security, for our allies in Ukraine, for NATO, for the truth, for democracy, for decency, for everyone who voted again him, and guess what—it was a bad night for everyone who voted for him too, you just don’t realize it yet” @jimmykimmel@JimmyKimmelLive
This is straight up BS… Biden was the most-pro worker President of my life time- saved Union pensions, created millions of good paying jobs and even marched in a picket line and some of MVP’s plans would have fundamentally transformed the quality of life and closed the racial wealth gap for working people across this country. From the child tax credits, to 25k for a down payment for a house to Medicare covering the cost of senior health care in their homes. There are a lot of post election takes and this one ain’t a good one.
My agenda today:
• Vote
• Drag Show
• Abortion at lunch
• Vote again
• Sex change in a prison bathroom
• Put tampons in the men's room
• Cast some spells while listening to Taylor Swift
• Eat pets for dinner in Springfield
• Take "illegals" to vote
