The most charitable interpretation is that none of these people have ever interacted with a normal human being in their entire lives.

Hey @durbin.senate.gov, remember that making a mistake is grabbing salted butter instead of unsalted butter at the grocery store. Building a weaponization fund so that the President can fund paramilitary forces in America isn't that.

It's wild that every time I see Hassett say something, it's a mad libs come to life. Every time!!

Who said investigative journalism is dead?

When Biden was averaging 377k new jobs a month, Republicans said that the economy was in utter crisis.

I still find it deeply offensive how every one in the Trump Administration just assumes you are the stupidest person alive.

It shows you who Trump is, but not in the way the Senator thinks.

Agreed.

I guess this wasn't news last year because Haberman & Swan needed to make money publishing books instead of doing their jobs.

Hey JD, who are we making sure that Iran can defend itself from?

This is not what his message was.

The NYT removed the "um"s in Trump's answer on Taiwan, but put "um"s in AOC's answer on Taiwan to make her look dumb Trump said "Um, I would say 'like' is maybe too strong a word...um, no, I'm holding that in abeyance and it depends on China, depends, it's a, it's a.." L: Trump R: AOC Video below

We don’t talk enough about how the Trump admin has just removed women and people of color from all the front lines of government.

We had functionally no job growth last year?

See the left of the graph, when monthly job creation was high? A terrible economy that should be described negatively. And on the right side, where the line has sloped down, and even a relatively high month is lower than the average under Biden? That’s good, and merits positive words like “solid.”

There’s a bizarre social consensus, somehow strongest among the elites and institutional leaders of the nation, that all this deranged behavior simply amounts to nothing - bluster and chaos sitting atop a fundamental normalcy.

You know who never had to take regular dementia tests? Ole Sleepy Joe.

It is very explicitly not a public venue. That's in fact the point.

Indistinguishable from SNL cold openings.

Honestly, Trump not recognizing Jesus is a pretty plausible explanation.

The US Capitol is only slightly taller than this monument to his ego. That statue on the top alone is twice the height of Lincoln.

My only question is who got sent a dead fish to put Rahm on this list.

Why is the Treasury Secretary talking like this???

Man, whoever put someone weak on security in charge of counter-terrorism must have been a world-grade idiot. Just the dumbest person. Should be removed from public.

Can't believe the recipient of the FIFA Peace Prize would threaten a nation's team! Has the award fallen so low??

Could the press please, finally, learn this lesson: Everything these people said about Afghanistan, Iraq, the Middle East, starting new wars—all of it—was false. Not because they meant the opposite, but because they're post-truth and say whatever they think gets them an advantage in the moment.

Sometimes you wouldn't know that America ostensibly won the Cold War.

after failed military incursion, us government responds with economic sanctions

So much wrong here: 1. There was some new hiring, so this number is off by about 100K 2. Unlike most businesses, personnel spending is a tiny fraction (5-6%) of federal outlays 3. Spending has actually increased 4. Many have noticed worse services! donmoynihan.substack.com/p/a-year-on-...

There is not one five year old American that is better off because we threw his classmate in a concentration camp. Period.

At it's heart, public policy should be done with absolute joy.

BHATTACHARYA: I do not believe patients' care was disrupted. If there were disruptions, it's the responsibility of the researchers, not the NHS HASSAN: That is an unacceptable and outrageous response. You can make an edict - 'Don't disrupt care!' - but that can be a very complicated thing

Unless you are storming the Capitol, at which point here is your pardon and filled out job application for ICE.

Cover up.

We’re just not a free country. Any American watching this play out between regime forces and journalists overseas would recognize it for what it is.

"I'm coming to Boston and I'm bringing hell with me." --Homan in February "Do I expect violence to escalate? Absolutely." -- Tom Homan in March "I actually thought about getting up and throwing that man a beating right there in the middle of the room" -- Homan in July, referring to a D congressman

The man overseeing the occupied state of Minnesota uses the language of a domestic violence abuser about Americans he is murdering in the streets.

One armed goon loses his shit at an observer who's backing up, and then several more armed goons tackle the observer to the ground, and then even more armed goons form a protective shield around the armed goons handcuffing the observer for hurting an armed goon's feelings. This can't be "reformed"

Absolute cinema.

They just told me that I can eat one piece of chicken and a piece of broccoli, and that I shouldn’t buy my children toys.

What does Secretary Rollins think American families should eat for dinner?   "...a piece of chicken, a piece of broccoli, a corn tortilla, and one other thing."  My family ate like this in Soviet Ukraine. This isn't the American way.

AOC: I want everybody to understand that the cuts to your health care are what’s paying for this. You get screwed over to pay a bunch of thugs in the street that are shooting mothers in the face.

CBS News: Why can't the people being gunned down by the masked agents find a way to live with people who are different than them? Trash.

it is the policy of this government to treat democratic-led states as conquered territories and the people therein as something like hostiles or even enemy combatants

It is the position of Fox News that the government is allowed to summarily execute American citizens if they are LGBT, and I have to assume that anyone who appears on Fox News is ok with that.

You and your wife drop your 6-year-old off at school. You just moved here. You see ICE terrorizing your new neighbors. You film them, as is your legal right. Your wife complies with orders. She is then shot in the head. You still have to pick up your child later today. This could be you.

Really important for the left - and our donors - to understand the machinery they are building.

“The top donor to the Republican Party is running a company making sexual deepfakes, even of children.” Is a 100% accurate message that leaders should be repeating.

Frankly, I don't think of America as a predator. And I miss having allies.

Same day, one is lying.
