Yes, please keep trotting out one of the most unlikable dinguses in human history to tell people in swing states that he's going to yoink their federal funding. This is an excellent strategy. Proceed.

Trump may never have run for president if Obama had not made one trivial joke about him. Much of Trump's actions (including all the birther shit) have been been based on personal grudges. So of COURSE he destroyed Obama's peace deal with Iran. Just because Obama made it.

sigh.

Adults 50-64 are disproportionately affected by the expiration of ACA enhanced premium tax credits, as they make up a large number of Marketplace enrollees & premiums rise with age. Our analysis shows older enrollees with moderate to higher incomes have been hit hardest: https://on.kff.org/4l0zwfY

Those who support this guy (sadly I see him on one of my favorite youtube channels today) give him every mulligan. Interpret everything he does in the best possible light. Best possible description here is "careless dumbass". Do we want a careless dumbass in congress? We've got more than enough.

Platner is retweeting a Nazi. Can’t make this stuff up. The most charitable possible explanation of his numerous stupid behaviors is that he’s a careless dumbass. The less charitable explanations are…less charitable. Either way, this is the best Maine can do? Do better, Maine. Do. Better.

It’s quite strange. And not just pundits. Millions of Americans have settled on “the problem with Covid is we did too much to combat it”. But when 9/11 hit? 3,000 dead (vs a million from covid). And we turned the world upside down. Our proportionality is out of wack.

Good. Give us our f**king money. We've got things to do.

yup. Bezos knows exactly what he's up to. And the billions are flying in.

A great communicator of WHAT?

Exactly. I hear a lot of noise about how there "won't be elections" or that magas will win by cheating, etc. Look at it the opposite way. If we ALL vote blue, the numbers will be too big for them to cheat around. Focus on turnout, not fear mongering.

Welcome to the resistance....grok?

It's just insane the degree to which the federal government has simply declared war on a U.S. state. A punitive war with no discernible objective other than to immiserate its people. bsky.app/profile/apne...

MAGA hates Minnesota with a passion.

A lot of people on here will respond to this by saying all kinds of hostile things to Nancy Pelosi. That is the wrong response. She's completely correct. Just agree with obviously correct statements. These cuts to healthcare are a very serious thing. A literal life, death, and bankruptcy issue.

And yet, the president of the united states who is mentioned more than anyone else in the Epstein files? No problem. He just gets to keep doing his stupid routine and raking in billions of dollars. Great. *former* university president gets nailed. President of the U.S. tho? Gets a pass. No problem.

It's been my position for many years that the attempt to use the subway system as a homeless shelter/mental hospital is a failure. The only reason we end up here is because politicians (and a lot of voters tbh) don't want to create a better system. Don't want to spend the money.

This Graham Platner quote looks like it was from 2020, so quite recent. I honestly can't quite wrap my head around this stuff. He comes off terribly imo. Maybe I'm out of touch with military humor but...damn. This guy is supposed to be crafting legislation to CARE for the American people?

📣 Now it's time to focus on the 2026 Midterm Main Event! I'll be filling in competitive #CALIFORNIA districts soon (yes, there are red seats even in CA); for now you can help the CA House Dems & the CA Democratic Party. Donate today! #Blue26 secure.actblue.com/donate/cablu...

Good. Boycotting is good. No ratings for the psycho.

This is what I’ve been saying:

Huge issue:

Since America could ignore that post covid inflation under Biden was a GLOBAL issue (and we were doing better than average), I'm sure we'll also ignore that tho our stock market is up 14%,cumulative market gains elsewhere are 43%. So, Trump's stock market is actually quite poor, in global context.

Since this will likely come up in the SOTU: Yes, US stock markets are up since Trump took office (14%). But in the rest of the world, markets are up WAY more. Cumulative market gains are more than triple ours (43%)

podcasts.apple.com/us/podcast/f... Good casual informed discussion on Mamdani’s idea to raise property taxes in nyc. Making clear that this is a regressive tax. Hardly what was campaigned on.

If she wants to run, she should. Sick of people now trying to dictate who is allowed to run in a primary. If we had room on stage for Tulsi Gabbard on the primary debate stage, we certainly have room for Harris. There will be a primary. Register to vote in it, if you want to participate.

I am reminded of the humans depicted in the movie “wall-e” Turning into blobs served by technology. AI might do this. But instead of weakening your body, AI weakens your mind. You lose capacities if you don’t use them.

It’s true. Democrats follow rules. It has only hurt them.

This is what I’m saying: bsky.app/profile/volt...

And yet I still think his approval is too high for what a terrible president he is. Ok, it's the lowest of the 21st century, but it should be LOWER than that.

This is what I'm saying. bsky.app/profile/mark...

Was getting the train at 42nd last friday and this deranged/intoxicated guy was drifting through the rush hour crowd, weaving around right on the edge of the platform. Just one example of thousands of why we need more supportive housing. One wrong step and this guy ends up on the tracks.

One of the most overhyped "issues" that has been the center of political arguments is trans panic in sports. This is hysteria in search of a "problem". So many articles in magazines, millions of "comments" online. Over something that is not a real problem.

very stable governance. markets love this. economies love this.

Ok, maybe eggs are more expensive now. But what about when your healthcare costs suddenly double or TRIPLE because trump blocked Obamacare subsidies? I'm surprised people don't pelt trump with rotten eggs everywhere he goes tbh. Because that s**t is crazy.

Rice and beans forever.

This guy Jeremy I will listen to a speech from. He’s saying something important.

That kid is alright.

I seriously cannot imagine anyone wanting to watch this thing. If it's not literally your job and you have been told you HAVE to watch? Why put yourself through it. You think after a decade of listening to this psycho rant on stage something good is going to happen?

Perhaps not by coincidence the one and only direct, explicit "tariff bill" I received was from fed ex.

This motherf**ker cannot shut the f**k up. But we don't have to watch him not be able to shut the f**k up. Go do something more productive. Like spraying lemon juice in your eye. Even that is preferable.

I wonder if any serious national candidate will ever put this on their platform. Specifically to fund, in perpetuity, longterm supportive housing on a scale equal to the need. Not "medicare for all", but a much more targeted program aimed at those who cannot care for themselves.

Confused person, pickled by internet politics. www.the-independent.com/news/world/a...

C'mon man. He just shakes a lot of hands. That's why his extremities are swelling and rotting off. It's like that with everyone, right? Shake too many hands, your hand falls off. Normal stuff.

Still going.

Cool. He's at "right, left, republican, democrat all the same really". plus secret cabal running the world. I'm sure this campaign will end well. Call it "QANON" or "Pizzagate" or "The Epstein files" or "Soros" whatever word you are most comfortable with. It leads to the same populist nonsense.

Blizzard is proceeding on schedule.

The narrative is that trump’s polling is always plummeting. But it’s almost 400 days of straight insanity and he’s at 39% approval. I don’t know what your definition of “plummeting” is. He was in the low 40s many months ago. So 39% isn’t exactly plummeting. He’s been hovering around 40 for a decade

This story is bizarre and I feel like we're not seeing quite enough concern over the president just randomly spouting nonsense like this in the middle of the night. Our two hospital ships are in dry dock right now in Alabama. This seems like utter nonsense, and wholly out of nowhere.

Trump promises more jobs and low prices. Instead? Inflation, tariffs, roving goon squads, and layoffs.
