@welch.senate.gov Vote NO on the Mullin nomination.

It might be more demeaning to his cult members if trump guessed the size too small and they had to hobble around in those? But he’s not very bright, apparently even in executing his humiliation kink.

Schrödinger's War They can’t agree on whether it’s a war, a mission, regime change, or self-defense. They don’t need to. They just need Congress to stay out.

Today's newsletter: Trump renamed the Department of Defense the Department of War. The website says war dot gov. Pete Hegseth goes by Secretary of War. But they'd like you to know that what's happening in Iran is not a war. It's a limited mission. www.readtpa.com/p/schrodinge...

A nice lineup of events and locations. I will plan to make it to one of them nearby :)

I will check this out.
(And not blaming her particularly for the texts. It was refreshing to get one from a Vermont candidate for once, honestly!
But in general I think candidates do need to rethink the relentless ActBlue texting strategy...)

I do too. And yeah, yeah, the donation texts are a complete buzzkill.

I don’t know much about her (yet), but I like what I hear so far. Exciting to have a new possibility - so badly needed.

Staying home

“To believe in laws over belief in people is to be colonized.”

I mostly like it. The dormer windows are great. Not so sure about the portico, aesthetically. Would love to see inside!

They blew up an elementary school Tom

My call to the office of Peter Welch (D😂) - who is a Markwayne fanboy and general trump nominee approver - had a similar tone.

Seems that way. Getting along with Republicans - Trump worshipping ones especially - also not acceptable IMO.

The last photo of third-grader Mikaeil Mirdoraghi, waving to his mom before he left for school. He was killed shortly after in the U.S./Israeli strike on a primary school in Minab.

Ha. I don’t know why i thought that 😂

Do you live in VT now? I think i have you in my Vermont list!

Yes and this one specifically bc he’s ours.

FUCKING WHAT THE FUCKING FUCK.

FUCK.

AT - DID YOU SEE THIS???!!!!

OH MY GOD WHAT THE FUCK

I was half kidding ⬇️ bc it seems so preposterous but i should never, never make that mistake.

I get Jared Golden and Jared Polis mixed up. They seem to similarly suck so maybe it doesn’t matter.

Yeah. He can’t be trusted.

Sort of like Iran. Maybe not the dipshit part, idk.

This is a very good point.

How does polymarket or whatever work because i want odds on senator peter welch (d-vt) voting to confirm markwayne dipshit mullins for DHS Secretary

The glibness and arrogance of this administration when briefing the American people about matters of life and death is unbelievably astounding.

Same here. It’s hell.

A map showing that most of the US West is having the warmest winter on record, while most of New England hasn’t had one this cold in over 20 years. Caption: “Wild chart from the WaPo - for a lot of younger people across America, this is either the coldest winter of their lives, or the warmest winter of their lives”

I just came across this map illustrating how dramatic the weather has been this year. I knew it’s been unusually cold and snowy in the Northeast this winter, but I didn’t realize it was this extreme!

Are data centres legitimate military targets in an AI-enabled conflict? If so, should that be a factor in permitting whether your Gulf monarchy/Nebraska town/London public swimming pool allows one to be sited there?

There was a post on twitter several lifetimes ago about how ridiculous it is that lowercase “l” and uppercase “I” are the same figure and now that AI has hit the big time - while people named Al continue to exist - the case could not be more clear.
