Marjorie Taylor Greene has been hated by the left for years and never feared for her life. She’s been hated by the right for two days and had to hire security.

Here’s what the shutdown is really about:

Read about WHY Ketanji Brown Jackson stayed the SNAP order. Her move is probably the best solution for getting SNAP benefits approved quickly. open.substack.com/pub/stevevla...

Traditional American politics is premised on the notion that sometimes you lose and sometimes you win and you have to deal with that. But Trumpism is premised on the notion that any result where you don’t win is illegitimate, unlawful, fraud, criminal. You can’t negotiate with people like that.

There are more of us than there are of them.

@neguse.house.gov gives a lesson on how to reframe a journalist’s stupid question about #SNAP! 💪🏼

Truth 👇👇👇 it really is that simple.

WELL HOW ABOUT THAT "A millionaire levy in Massachusetts has generated $3 billion more in revenue than expected without forcing significant high-profile departures from the state." www.bloomberg.com/news/article...

Here's a gift link to the New York Times' coverage of the initial Tea Party rallies in April 2009 which inspired the media to treat it like a massive movement. Check out how tiny the crowds were: Philly: 200 DC: "several hundred" Boston: 500 Austin: 1,000 Houston: 2,000

#NoKings tomorrow.

Wisdom from my 18 yr old son, in the midst of our discussion about No Kings and the state of the US: “Interesting that a felon, and someone married to an immigrant, is telling us that felons and immigrants are the problem.”

I keep putting this up all the time but this is only a portion of what is going to hit when this bill takes effect. Look it up on @House.gov. read the whole bill it'll scare the shit out of you.

a key thing about vought — and all of these guys — is that they have a totally top down and hierarchical vision of the world. they believe that the cultural changes they hate can be turned off by destroying the federal government because they can’t imagine that they emerged bottom-up in society

Peaceful assembly isn’t an insurrection. Storming the Capitol to hang your own vice-president and end democracy is.

3 separate news websites and not a single one mentions the house of a female judge that was burned to the ground just days after being criticized and harassed by Stephen Miller. seems like a pretty big story, ngl

The GOP health care for immigrants lie is an old one. Here’s me six years ago:

AOC: I think there's two things that are happening at once: One, there absolutely is an unprecedented abuse of power, destruction of norms, erosion of our government and our democracy in order to prop up an authoritarian style of governance However, they are weaker than they look…

THEY CLOSED PUBLIC POOLS RATHER THAN SWIM WITH BLACK PEOPLE YOU ARE DEALING WITH THE SAME GROUP OF PEOPLE AS THE FOLKS WHO DID THIS PLEASE WAKE THE FUCK UP

The richest man on earth owns X. The second richest man on earth is about to be a major owner of TikTok. The third richest man owns Facebook, Instagram, and WhatsApp. The fourth richest man owns The Washington Post. See the problem here?

It was never about “freedom.” It was always about who was in control.

luigi mangione murdered a healthcare executive and opposed "wokeism." i don't know why people insist that killers need some coherent ideology. most people don't even have coherent wardrobes, let alone a coherent worldview.

The anger over Charlie Kirk being quoted verbatim is just further proof that the right conflate freedom of speech with freedom from consequences of said speech

Facts are facts: Right-wing extremists account for the overwhelming majority of extremist-linked deaths in America.

Decrying violence against political opponents rings a bit hollow when you pull Secret Service protection from your political opponents.

The entire fascist plot relies on us being terrified and sad. This is why they’re constantly trying to scare everyone with theatrics. They want you to see him as unstoppable and not as a 79-year-old with severe health problems who will die soon.

Wouldn’t it be nice if people refocused their priorities?

Trump’s circus is the distraction. Rockbridge is plotting the next 20 years of right-wing power. JD Vance’s SECRET BILLIONAIRE CLUB is funding media, rigging courts, and stacking governments. Trump is just the puppet. Rockbridge is the machine.

Stephen is Correct about Chump !

Dems should fight on every front. If Texas steals 5 seats, Dem states should redistrict 30 GOP members out of their districts. We should insist DOJ release the entire Epstein File. Not only shouldn't we bring knives to a gun fight, if they bring pistols, we should bring machine guns.

Bove is going to be the new Clarence Thomas, but worse (until he gets elevated): A petulant, vindictive asshole who is going to use the bench to make up for his moral emptiness and deep sense of inadequacy

That's it...🤷🏼‍♀️🤷

When a network lays off one of America’s greatest satirists, it’s not because he failed. It’s because he succeeded too loudly.

So the current story from the president is that Those Damn Dirty Democrats created the Epstein Files, put a bunch of incriminating stuff about him in there and then … never released it?
