“Unfortunately, it appears as if John Fetterman is the only Democrat on Capitol Hill that is doing Donald Trump’s bidding for him.” — U.S. Rep. Brendan Boyle

Trump: "I was watching during Biden, there were troops standing up, brave. They're spitting at them & screaming. That soldier is standing there, he wants to knock the hell out of the press, but he's not allowed to do anything. So they just stand & get abused. I say, they spit, we hit. Is that okay?"

Trump: "They actually took over a big percentage of Seattle. Think of it. You remember that. It was a while ago. And I sent in the troops and they were gone as soon as I sent them in."

This is an evergreen, but if Joe Biden had given a speech like this, every reporter in America would’ve had their head exploded. Instead, we get shrugs.

The MSM will go down in history as one of the great contributors to this national disaster. They featured trump relentlessly because he brought them ratings. They "both sides" argued each of his heinous acts. Now they utterly ignore his lunacy. robertreich.substack.com/p/why-isnt-t...

1. More Americans work at the Cheesecake Factory than in the entire coal industry, and that won't change. It's because of automation, not snooty libs. 2. Coal energy is now more expensive than wind and solar. 3. So this means: higher energy prices, more pollution, no jobs benefit. Genius!

Schumer still has in his head an imaginary swing voter who cares deeply about whether the parties are trying to be bipartisan and will give them credit and votes for doing so. THIS VOTER DOES NOT EXIST

Please stop asking Donald Trump to please be reasonable. He is out to destroy you not cut a deal with you.

Belief in the free market myth is the fatal error of center-left economics cepr.net/publications... The bad guys don't give a damn about the "free market," and the center-left are jerks for pretending they do.

i have said this before but i think that ones view of the current political situation is fundamentally shaped by how you view the outcome of the 2024 election. was it a definitive affirmation of the MAGA worldview or a narrow, extremely contingent result?

Ty Cobb: "The simple theme is rewriting history. Trump wants to rewrite history so the next generation may not know that he incited a violent insurrection... America needs to learn from the mistakes that we've had. And one of the biggest mistakes that America ever had was reelecting President Trump"

"I am glad the President has finally agreed to meet with the leadership in Congress ---"

It is a massive mistake to imagine the right is pushing "free market" economics. They are pushing policies that give all the money to the rich, they couldn't care less about the free market deanbaker22.substack.com/p/the-free-m...

‘Surprised’ by public pushback, affiliates bring Kimmel back on air, says Grynbaum www.msnbc.com/the-last-wor...

I don’t think Roberts or ACB (or Kav) will take the off ramp being offered to them but striking down the tariffs is a no-brainer and I think probably a net political winner for the GOP.

It was good for me to come here this week. I think, living in New York, with a relatively reasonable governor, I’m constantly like “fight fight fight.” Here, connecting with a bunch of black folks from red states in different situations, the message is “survive, survive, survive.”

ICYMI — “If I could make TikTok 100% MAGA I would…” Trump *jokes* about rigging TikTok in his favor with the new right-wing MAGA billionaire ownership… but insists all POV’s will be treated fairly 🤔😕 What a relief

"Speech by speech, step by step, transgression by transgression, the world is grasping the scale of over-reach & unfettered behavior the White House occupant is pursuing...I feel a growing sense of relief that those of us who grasp the insanity are not alone." www.americaamerica.news/p/to-feel-le...

The irony is that Trumpworld is obsessed with energy.

Thank you Donald Trump!

They’ve started playing Mad Libs with US trade policy. Pick a noun. Put a tariff on it. Pick a number. That’s the tariff. Its deranged. They’re burning down our economy. Bonfire of the bathroom vanities.
