Nooooo! I feel like I’ve been saying “Larry Summers is wrong about everything” for thirty years. Can he fk off forever please?

I’ll say it again: the Senate Democratic leadership’s approach to handle a bully stealing their lunch money every day is to simply carry more lunch money and see what happens.

As promised, my existing ACA plan will cost an additional $800 per month for a total of $36,000/yr for family of four.

The Trump ceasefire deal is the Biden ceasefire deal Trump begged Bibi not to accept in 2024 because it would've hurt Trump's chances of winning the election and I wish this was the first time a GOP candidate for president won by meddling in American foreign policy. See: Nixon '68 and Reagan '80.

This is sublime.

This is the world Trumpists want: where with help from the state, any bigot can—just for fun—ruin the life and career of a POC or LGBT professional with as little as an accusation; and the professionalism and accomplishments of the victim make them more of a target, not less. G*mergate's endpoint.

Daughter just laid off congressional internship. Shut down happening.

if you work in media and aren't loudly and unambiguously using your platform to fight this dictatorship, then you are failing.

anyhoo

it doesn't seem like too much to ask for at least a brief moratorium on "centrist" Dems knifing their own party members while Trump is attempting to pass the worst piece of legislation since the Fugitive Slave Act

A lot can happen in five months. 🇺🇸

Anyone in a room with Charlie Kirk that doesn’t kick his ass isn’t somebody I’m voting for.

In fairness though, it's mind boggling that it requires a "sales pitch" to convince a majority of people not to elect an obviously corrupt convicted felon who openly promised to be corrupt and commit more felonies.

A good moment to remember the Russia thing was always real. Trump's goal is to help Russia and Putin, always has been. He's trying to throw our democratic allies under the bus and America as well. Again, the Russia thing was always real.

“I’m voting to confirm the guy who has pledged to do illegal thing because I expect the judges who pledged to rubber stamp Republican illegality, who I also confirmed, might stop him from doing the illegal thing.”

Having watched with growing alarm the developments of the last 24 and 36 hours in Washington, I thought I’d take a stab at how the US media would cover this story if it was happening in a foreign country.
