Never forget that just a week ago, Ross Douthat and the NYTimes were asking if women ruined the workplace.

This idea that #metoo was a temporary piece of insanity that happened because America was too woke... Fuck you. It was a temporary moment in time when people decided, for the first time, that 20 women were finally equal to one man.

The best health care plan would be the government taxing everyone but especially the rich to pay doctors and hospitals so we have health care. We’ve spent at least 100 years pretending this is not the case.

Approximately 21% of U.S. adults are functionally illiterate 54%, reads below a sixth-grade level. But yeah, they'll totally understand the always easy to read insurance information that definitely won't be written to intentionally confuse and deceive.

The reason why most women my age couldn't care less if Bill Clinton goes down with the ship is that we were teens & young women when the Anita Hill and Monica Lewinsky scandals happened. It's rotten to the core. All the way down. Your "lost" era is not ours.

Hard, fast rule from a veteran police reporter: Excepting anyone engaged in infiltrating a criminal conspiracy in an undercover capacity, any law officer who hides his identity from the public is a shitheel is doing vile shit and is, in fact, actively destroying the credibility of law enforcement.

I don’t think women’s professional ambitions should be limited by how tactfully or gamely they respond to men’s sexual entitlement.

too real lol

Anti-papist rhetoric is BACK, baby!

Please stop using language that suggests that people with criminal records are appropriate targets for this administration's violence. One in three adults has a criminal record. Stop playing sacrifice games with fascists. Stop surrendering entire categories of people in your own mind.

@govpritzker.illinois.gov I want you to watch this video of me slammed to the ground- why are you allowing this to happen to people you know are on the right side of history. They tied my hands behind my back and when I asked them to be loosened because I was going numb they said, “STFU.”

I have a message for Donald Trump: Your past sexual abuse of teenagers has not lowered the price of eggs! by Chuck Schumer

Horrifying

Had 4 years of outrage media coverage of Hunter Biden having a board seat but not quite as much energy directed to what is basically legalized bribery. Need your tariffs cut? Just hand Trump a <checks notes> $130,000 solid gold bar and a bespoke Rolex desk clock. Media shrugs.

I beg you to read this thread but only if you promise to read all the alt texts

So let me get this straight: The President’s plan to lower prices is to roll back some of his own tariffs?

This used to be called "corruption" and "bribery", maybe even "extortion".

Bears missing out on huge opportunity:

Time to dust off this oldie but goodie

You know who has Universal Healthcare provided by the government? Folks in Argentina do and the US taxpayers sent them $40 Billion Dollars so they can keep it. How are your premiums doing?

Imagine what this number will look like when health insurance premiums go through the roof and countless people will have no coverage.

53% of Americans believe billionaires are a threat to American democracy. Meanwhile, just 100 billionaire families spent $2.6 billion on federal elections last year — a 160-fold increase since Citizens United. The people know: billionaires should not be able to buy our elections.

8 years of "What is a woman?" and now it turns out that the comeback was "define a child"

Religious freedom to be shoved face forward into pavement.

the ~5 tons of CO2 emitted on this hourlong flight is roughly equivalent to what the average EU citizen emits in a year

There are people like mildew: gross and impossible to get rid of permanently

Everything I’ve learned about RFK Jr. and Olivia Nuzzi has been against my will.

If the NYT told the story of the homeless teenager exploited by Matt Gaetz with even half as much empathy as it tells the story of Olivia Nuzzi, it would be in danger of committing journalism.

the cool thing about ai is that if its a bubble we will go into a recession and there wont be any jobs, but if its not a bubble we will go into a recession and there wont be any jobs

It really pisses me off that there’s not a constant chorus of reporters asking this administration to explain what they mean by hoax when they call it “the Epstein hoax”

“Housing shortage – Jews to blame," letter sticker, German Reich, 1938 zwangsraeume.berlin/en/context

They rounded a bunch of random Venezuelans with tats and pretended they were in tren de aragua, then started blowing up random Venezuelan boats they claim “carried drugs,” in order to slowly groom their base into supporting a full ground war on Venezuela that was always about oil

Same that there’s no such thing as “having sex with a child” - it’s called RAPE

It’s embarrassing that anyone actually believed the rich people would actually leave their nice elite enclaves in highly-developed states

If Republicans voted in favor of universal health care how would they find vulnerable teens to sexually exploit.

Old enough to remember when raping children was a dealbreaker in politics.

Being a Republican definitionally means being cool with child rape

Once again my political enemies are smearing me by presenting evidence of my crimes

An estimated one-quarter of IRS tax evasion agents have been repurposed to immigration enforcement. Instead of tracking high-end tax evaders, they are looking for metro fare evaders. donmoynihan.substack.com/p/five-quest...

if the people who caused the harm don't have the money now just think of it like a 50-year mortgage

Mostly accessible for whom? For low-income women in Idaho and Texas who cannot afford to travel to Washington or Colorado to access health care? For women on Medicaid who can’t pay OOP? For women experiencing medical emergencies in states that want abortion bans to overtake EMTALA protections?

a “Space Force”, if you will

What would it take to make a PAC to do these things that the Dems never will?

The greatest trick rich and horrible people ever pulled is convincing us they were interesting.

For Trump, "America First" means drawing into deep reserves to bailout Javier Milei, Argentina's wannabe dictator. This is beyond the $40 billion we already knew about. www.ft.com/content/2730...

Meanwhile, here's an example of the horrendous things found in Hillary Clinton's emails—the only story worth covering for any serious news outlet in 2016, apparently. This email is also regarding a child who suffered abuse from a grown man.

This has been their plan for a very long time. "Where did this idea come from that everybody deserves free education, free medical care, free whatever? It comes from Moscow, from Russia. It comes straight out of the pit of hell." -- Houston GOP representative Debbie Riddle, March 2003

Mandatory comparison. Note, it was a choice to not include a four column wide photo of Trump looking like shit in his only press appearance yesterday when he refused to answer questions about Epstein.

Stay for the alt text.

I also don't think you can talk about Republican complicity without talking about Dennis Hastert, who is never ever discussed anymore, but he was the speaker of the House, and he was a pedophile.
