Good morning. I am back at the courthouse in Washington this a.m. for what we will call Day 11 of the Proud Boys seditious conspiracy trial. Day 10 of the trial (last week) was unexpectedly canceled without explanation. For continuity, I start fresh today. Live updates have begun:

I am grateful to be a part of the Daily Kos Guild. I am deeply concerned about being laid off.
Please sign the petition. Help us show management we can't be pushed around and we need transparent bargaining.

Add Your Name: Stand up for Progressive Values at Daily Kos

Action Network

Here's what I want to do:
I want to report. I want to write. I want to inform people. I want to make enough to live in the town I report in. I want to one day buy a house but I am making my peace with the fact that this may NEVER happen. But I want to work. I don't have children. I love to write. I love to report. That's what I want to do.

I have bad news today. DAILY KOS management wants to LAYOFF 20 to 30 percent of our staff and mostly, content writers. I really need your help to convince management to come to the table with our union and negotiate in good faith.
Read about our very simple demands and sign the petition, here:

To anyone in #Australia, #NewZealand, or thereabouts:

How’s 2023 so far?

The way in which an entire party has decided that having proven, admitted liars in its upper ranks is simply no big deal is really quite breathtaking.

That’s not simply a moral judgement. No organization, political or otherwise, can survive without some basic level of internal trust. Essential tasks become impossible.

An organization that can’t or won’t sanction dishonesty in its leadership eventually spins apart. The GOP seems to be in the early stages of this.

Rep.-elect George Santos acknowledges ‘rĂ©sumĂ© embellishment’ but answers little on finances

In interviews, the Long Island Republican acknowledged that he never graduated from college and didn't work for Wall Street firms, but he answered few questions about his wealth.

Hi, in 2018, I made history as the youngest and first #Hasidic #jew to be elected as District Leader in the #Brooklyn Democratic party.

I'm so fed up with the antisemitism coming from the far right and fueled by #ElonMusk on #Twitter.
