My mom's response to reading a script of mine that had just been optioned was to hand it back to me with yellow stickies where she found typos. So, yeah, it could be worse!

Just heard a conversation where one person referred to Trump and Biden as, "a choice between diarrhea and a solid poop" and the other person replied, "yeah, but which is which?" and I don't know what to do with that.

One thing that's been very clear this past week is that most of those writing & pontificating about Biden's future as the party's nominee have a little to no experience in state and local Democratic Party activities. A brief 🧵:

I mean, I understand people being mad at RBG for not stepping down when she could have, but why aren't people more furious over Anthony Kennedy stepping down when he did? (And also maybe more curious about why he made that choice when he did?)

Am I alone in every now and then thinking, where the fuck is Anthony Kennedy these days? Is he chuckling to himself over cocktails on a beach somewhere or does he wish he could be part of the scotus mess he helped create?

Parent of a trans 23 year old here. They and their friends hate Biden for supporting genocide of Palestinians but are smart enough to understand that Trump is worse. 100% voting for Biden though. Small pool sample but just here to say they’re not alone in understanding how elections work in the US.

Everyone appalled by our presidential choices is missing the fact that SCOTUS is just out there telling us we're silly billies because THEY'RE running the US now.

Hydrate and deep breaths, people. We need to save some outrage for Monday when we learn how Trump is immune from any kind of prosecution whatsoever but Democratic presidents are not.

The fact that a second Trump administration is even a POSSIBILITY is such a tremendous failure on the part of every segment of our political elites. He could have been impeached, convicted, and permanently excluded on the very day. He could have been arrested the second he left office. Etc., etc.

Honest and predictable regulation? Unless you mean, little to no regulation (or, in billionaire-speak, regulation for thee not me), I'm not entirely sure where this idea of billionaires wanting honest and predictable regulation comes from.

Justice Sotomayor needs to consider doing a podcast called Weeping in My Chambers in which she just weeps while reading these decisions and then a therapist comes on to help her, and the listeners, process all of it.

And you only called long distance if it was an emergency. When my brother was at college, we had a code in which he called collect and if he used only his first name it meant he was okay and my parents wouldn't accept the charges but if he used his whole name it meant he needed to talk.

It sure would be comical if Samuel Alito had recently published an opinion in which he expressed strong feelings about flags and wrote that passersby viewing a flag flying over a building would naturally assume the flag conveys some message on the owner's behalf

Was on a jury deliberating an open and shut case. We all agreed except the 18 year old HS senior who was so excited to have an excused absence from school that he just kept stalling, hoping to make us deliberate for days. Eventually someone bribed him with an offer to buy him lunch.
