Punchbowl here really captures how much DC insider speak operates within GOP spin. Assumes GOP argument and then looks for explanations for why public doesn’t seem to agree. Must be that Trump/GOP hasn’t attacked them enough.

Remember: The richest 1% evade over $160 billion in taxes every year. That amount would fund SNAP for a year with money to spare. Ask yourself who the real freeloaders are.

I’ve been thinking a lot about a new kind of polling I’d like to see. We have polling that measures public opinion, which is obviously important, but I’d love to see a little more empirical work on public knowledge: what do voters know about politics and policy?

To the craven "comedians" who are STILL not speaking up: The manager at the Chicago Laugh Factory was arrested by ICE. They filed no charges, he's a US citizen, and his family doesn't know where he is. They are coming for all of us. Grow a fucking spine and say something while you still can.

The Senate is still meeting and holding votes as normal despite the shutdown. The House has not held a vote in a month and a half now solely because Mike Johnson wants to prevent the release of the Epstein Files. They've killed our government to save their pedophiles.

For those who are here, it’s felt clear that the administration is using Chicago as testing ground for how immigration removal tactics could be applied across the nation. And now, this is even clearer. If you’ve not followed closely, it’s time to catch up.

They've used Chicago as a testing/training ground for this roving army of BP dipshits after doing the same in LA. Feels pretty crucial that everyone not in Chicago continue paying attention to Chicago to know exactly what to expect when they move elsewhere.
