Playing with a corked bat, eh. I'm very disappointed in you.

Shorter SCOTUS: Parental rights, but only for parents of cis gender kids.

Must-read from @jonathanchait via @TheAtlantic. Deftly dismanles the GOP utter horseshit claims about Medicaid and Trump's budget bill. 👇🏻 www.theatlantic.com/politics/arc...

Reminder: "Deport US citizens" is an oxymoron. It's not a thing. At all. You don't deport citizens from the country of which they are citizens.

The Dow may be down, but the Finding-Out Index is through the roof.

Will you still need me, will you still feed me now that I'm y'now.

#FearTheDeer  is what I'm saying.

Turns out that having business types come in and "run government run more like a business" just means wealthy people grabbing power to line their own pockets. Who knew?

When I think about who bears the blame for this shitstorm, I keep coming back to Trump and the Republicans as the answer. Can't quite figure the logic of blaming Democrats.

The Dow may be down, but the Finding-Out Index is skyrocketing.

Living out my fantasy of being a David Dye mini-me, I made a YouTube of my recent interview w Grippa Laybourne. Grippa is the ringleader of @thehempolics.bsky.social, a new fave band of mine who've just released the final installment of their Kiss, Cuddle & Torture trilogy. youtu.be/6oHBjzzewSM?...

How typical for a billionaire to punish the workforce while not touching corporate contractors.

Hey remind me, who won the Cold War?

Congrats to Measles and corrupt public officials everywhere. #Winning

Turns out that "Break things, move fast" involves a lot of breaking things.

Not a lot of subtlety in the Trump 2.0 criming.

Allow me to translate. He's saying 'No, Ukraine should take whatever Putin dishes out.'

Re: Adams charges dropped. There's a through-line -- going back to SCOTUS McDonnell v. United States decision -- of defining corruption down. Basically refusing to believe quid pro quo and abuse of power when it's staring you in the face.

Tired: Roe v. Wade is super-precedent. Wired: Marbury v. Madison was wrongly decided.

Obviously pardons for Trump's goon squad and billionaires picking apart the federal budget are really going to help lower costs for ordinary Americans

One down, 1,460 to go.

Shorter Trump just now on the economy: We're gonna bring back the economy, bring it back big. And the jobs and the auto industry. They'll all be bigger than anyone's ever seen. The biggest economies, and jobs, and industries. America's going to be so great again. The greatest anyone's ever seen.

ICYM Truly, I'm a big fan of @timmiller.bsky.social and @jonathanbchait.bsky.social. But they talked about the so-called sanctuary city issue without really having the brief on the substance. 🧵 👇🏻

In the private sector, contractors for the federal government don't call it "waste, fraud, and abuse," they call it "profit."

Recent discussion by @Timodc @jonathanchait of "sanctuary cities" starts at 28:30. It's case-in-point of how right wing dominance on narratives distorts issues. Yes dominant narrative = reality in politics, but let's at least not forget real reality. 1/ youtu.be/YoGBlO_owew?...
