"So here's the plan -- we impose massive tariffs on the nations that sell us food." "Hmm." "But it's OK, because we just rely more on states like California that grow a lot of the same things." "Oh, I guess that ..." "And then we go to war with California."

I guess we can just assume any Republican who hasn’t already come out and forcefully and publicly backed Trump and condemned Elon is a disloyal treasonous RINO playing both sides. Like JD Vance.

I wish journalists would stop framing political news as wins or losses for politicians or political parties. It’s an abrogation of our mission. Why do we keep doing this? Is the spending bill a win or loss for the American people? Who does it help? Who does it hurt? Is it sound policy? Fiscally?

One darkly amusing aspect of the politics of the last decade is that Trump has very clearly & explicitly formed a coalition of the nation's dumbest, most ignorant, most racist & sexist voters -- there's overwhelming empirical evidence at this point -- but we're not allowed to say that out loud.

I might feel differently about a conversation around accountability for the Dems propping up someone too old to do his job if that was something uniquely true of Joe Biden, but I am old enough to remember AOC getting smacked down for daring to try and unseat a committee chair who was “a young 75”

FYI: The Senate bipartisan stablecoin bill is poised for a resurrection next week, with crypto-friendly Dem negotiators agreeing to language that includes no new restrictions on the crypto businesses of Donald Trump and his family. They argue the bill is progress because industry would be regulated.

I hate that the thanks for donating to a Democratic candidate is having my phone number sold on a list to a hundred other campaigns, all of whom send me passive-aggressive texts asking for my donation, often weirdly attempting a guilt trip, as though I knew them. I really don’t like that.

People have said it for years now, but Trump really does follow so many abuser tactics from domestic violence. Just since taking office he's alienated America from its friends, financially isolated the country through tariffs, and made its welfare dependent on the largesse of his day-to-day whims.

He stood there on Jan 20 and falsely mouthed the words to protect and defend our Constitution. Asked now on Meet the Press if he thinks he needs to uphold the Constitution, he says, “I don’t know.” Translation: No. Woe to America and the utter failure of putting this man back in our Oval Office.
