Tax the rich now.

Gas prices are ridiculous right now — they’re heading quickly toward $4 in NC and we know the reason why. It’s not right, and it’s hurting North Carolina consumers.

As time has gone on I've realized there is a still quite small but now non-trivial chance that the entire Iran War is simply an insider trading operation, creating repeated black swan moments and relying on markets continued willingness to gyrate wildly in the face of absurd and predictably ...

You know you are winning the news cycle when you start talking about the "long-term economy."

Does this stuff work on Trump voters? He sounds so weak and insecure.

Great job, everyone who opposed voting for Harris because of Gaza!

Just noticed gas in Raleigh is up almost $0.40 in a week. Average is around $3.20/gal now. Amazing how the same people who blamed presidents for gas prices are suddenly quiet while Trump is in a war with Iran.

Let's be clear: the U.S. had a deal that could have prevented Iran from getting a nuclear weapon. Trump ripped up that deal. Then he started a war instead of doing the hard work of diplomacy to stop Iran from getting a nuclear weapon.

Let me get this straight: we gutted every social service to fund the military, and the military is running out of missiles in less than a week?

Voters don’t skip down ballot races b/c they don’t care, they skip b/c WE haven’t given voters information about judicial elections and why they matter! Thanks Flip NC for having these critical conversations! Today is primary Election Day, and there are judicial races on your R or D ballot. Vote!

My preacher and my dad always told me to try and stand in the other person’s shoes. I think today, that idea is more important than ever.

things every single republican president of your lifetime has done - started a war in the middle east - completely destroyed the economy

Of course not, he's a rapist, that's kind of their thing.

This is exactly right. The Onion quietly left Twitter a month ago and... our weekly subscribers went up. It's because we're doing well here, on Instagram and on YouTube. As a business, being on Twitter is somewhere between useless or detrimental, unless you're selling boner pills.

This seems like the first time he has said this about a man. I always thought he was just being a bully to people he thought couldn’t fight back. These are fighting words.

They said it. We’re all thinking it.

Raided the camps to confiscate the letters from the kidnapped kids. Classic Good Guy behavior.

Why does everything Trump says make him sound like a rapist?

Everyone can agree that the most important issue right now is a silly nickname people use online for Noem. Let’s make sure that is addressed by a Senator.

MAGA, you can be honest. Do you ever get tired of having to defend the whiniest beta male on the planet? I would.

I just want leaders who have a moral compass. Stop worrying about the voters and be true to your values. The voters will come along with you if you are authentic. Nobody can predict the future. I just want to trust you will do the right thing.

Why are they so obsessed with immigrant predators? Are the people who fund the GOP worried about the competition?

It is absolutely by design. Theyr’e tired of white people sympathizing with Black and brown folks. That’s why they’re so mad and confused in Minnesota. All the nice white people yelling at them to get fucked. It’s like their dads are yelling at them in a bathrobe. They can’t cope.

I’m glad our president has the courage to take his ball and go home. Brilliant gambit sir!

Looks like I’ve found my weekend plans and I will be exploring new cultural traditions.

Natural Born Killers With Big Naturals

Add this to the tally of times GOP members talk about the President like a toddler. Murc's law is undefeated.

This is pure, unabashed bigotry. If a politician said this about any other faith, they would rightfully be run out of their party. But this kind of despicable anti-Muslim rhetoric is so normalized that a sitting Senator uses it without consequence. A stain on our Congress.

I went to Minneapolis last week. What I saw was horrifying and inspiring in equal measure. Gift link to my latest column: www.nytimes.com/2026/01/19/o...

Nothing is ever enough for him. He needs everything.

Trump openly told oil execs in 2024 that he'd govern in their naked financial interests if they raised $1 billion for his campaign. He's now taking this further, telling them they'll reap great riches if they buy into his vision of imperial hemispheric dominance. 5/ newrepublic.com/article/2049...

Did everyone forget that Trump asked the oil companies for bribes of $1 billion for his campaign? They are getting what they paid for.

Now that Trump is trying to hand Venezuela to US oil companies, that incentivizes execs to give big donations to his PAC and WH ballroom in a "vicious circle" of corruption, @normeisen.bsky.social says. MTG gets how this betrays MAGA. On the pod Norm lays it all out: newrepublic.com/article/2048...

Still still fighting it, Ben Folds. Please advise.

Western North Carolina is the most beautiful place in the world, and I'm so proud to call it home. We deserve a representative who is proud to be from here — and who will put WNC over political games in Washington. #NC11 #WNC #WesternNC

GOP: If you hold people accountable for unapologetically saying racist stuff its cancel culture! Also GOP: If you say or post anything online we don't like or we interpret as something we don't like we will f*cking kill you!

The flew the entire military leadership in so they could see for themselves that the Secretary of Defense is a mouthbreathing dipshit and the Commander in Chief is a senile, weak old man who might keel over at any moment.

Having to click through and hope a mass shooter is a white guy so the event hopefully won’t be used against vulnerable groups is really a sign of the times.

In the 2010s, this country's elites were thrown onto social platforms with everyone else and could finally read what we all think about them and it caused them so much psychic damage that they decided to destroy both the internet and democracy to make sure nothing like it ever happened again.

This is where we are at as a country. Millions of people not dying a premature death is bad for businesses because of pension costs.

We have been brainwashed to think everything is an individual choice and no company or leader is at fault. We have a predatory economy. From global warming to even getting scammed. We blame individuals instead of the systems that have failed to prevent us from ending up where we are.

"Ashli Babbitt was a grown ass adult who made a series of conscious, ill-advised decisions to engage in treasonous behavior, and she got exactly what she deserved. She was a traitor. She was a threat to national security. There is no nuance needed here."

remember folks, we cant have gun restrictions because if we do the federal government will occupy our streets, imprison people without due process, ship dissidents to foreign gulags and things of that nature
