listen. even when I’m watching calories I am not a healthy eater by anybody’s definition. but if my dietary reputation was such that people gave me a goddamn traveling McDonald’s to impress me I would simply perish

The person renting our house to us told us the wrong amount for last month by like 100+ dollars so we're more than a little behind on funds. If anyone could at least share this and help me get it out there, I'd appreciate it 💕

Half suspect the shelves to be empty and the stock market up half a million points by July because it just feels like a deal got made, you know? Like, the fact sexual assault is normalized again really makes the economy feel better for the average stockbroker. Vibe-boom to Biden’s vibecession.

Ya it's called the passive voice and they're gonna do the same thing when grocery store shelves are empty where they treat it like some natural disaster nobody* is responsible for. *well no Republican

If you knew nothing about Trump, this would be a reasonable/cheesy bipartisanship, and a way for Newsom to get a tax credit he wants. But also everyone knows Trump enough to know that he'll now be like "'Gay' Gov Gavin was crying for Mr. Trump's Help," You can't trick him into helping you!

I think humanitarian aid as an extension of soft imperial power is good and "have free elections and we'll cure your tuberculosis" is the best game in town.

The thousands of people taking to the streets to protest an authoritarian government currently disappearing dissidents are lame and cringe unlike my cool friends who spent three months tailgating Kamala rallies to jeer at her as Holocaust Harris, who are heroes that changed the world.

I'll say it right now, if Trump leaves these tariffs on (or raises them as retaliation)—the Dems are going to sweep the midterms to such an extent that he gets impeached. We're gonna do an American Liz Truss. He's so viscerally outplaying his political capital and mandate, it's insane.

to add on to this, schumer has to go because he has demonstrated incredibly poor leadership here, not because they lost the vote. we've only got 47 seats, we're going to lose a lot of votes, i'm not sure any of those 10 would have voted differently without him fucking it up. but he did fuck it up

It’s also just flatly false. Our GDP goes up every year, with only a few exceptions, and every year we’re comfortably able to service our debt. We have the best credit in the world—except when the GOP decides not to pay our bills. By any reasonable interpretation, we’re “profitable.”

The whole thing is important, but listen until the end: the US depends a lot on the flow of capital into the country because it is perceived as the safest port in a storm. Once that is no longer true, a lot of things Americans take for granted go away.

Dems can compete in Kentucky because the state GOP is basically Satanic. The big questions are: 1.) How do we get more people to believe it when we tell them what Republicans believe? 2.) How do we get people to understand the Republican cossacks work for the czar?
