Ansari: I sit on the Natural Resources Committee, where we witnessed the most anti-environment legislation go through. It includes massive giveaways to the oil and gas industry. I discovered that the chairman had purchased hundreds of thousands of dollars’ worth of oil and gas stocks.

When you say something 100% true that people don’t want to hear, because it makes them feel ashamed for the evil things they have done and will continue to do, instead of changing their mind they just get really, really angry at you for saying the truth. This is why everything is so fucked up.

House Republicans don’t want you to watch their 1:00 AM hearing to kick millions of Americans off their health insurance and rip away food and basic nutrition from millions of kids and seniors. Defy the billionaires and watch anyway:

No Tax on Tips is in many ways the most perfect Trump policy. Deceptively magnanimous to working people. Totally corrosive to the country’s finances and social fabric by being ripe for scamming. Stupid low-trust people allergic to thinking and bad with money will love it

got so annoyed at seeing idiots on tiktok and youtube argue about 20th century american party politics that i made a nearly 30 minute video trying to sketch out the history in a nuanced way. the conceit of this video, however, is that it's all from the dome! no notes, just vibes.

I have a housing bill that will create about 3 million homes, reduce rents by 10% for working people, and incentivize local governments to cut red tape. By getting the very wealthiest to chip in, we can help working families get a decent place to live at a decent price.

These are deeply, profoundly, tragically abnormal times riven by cruel, hateful, reckless and ignorant people bent on dismantling our government, strengthening Putin, stoking fear, breaking our spirit, enriching themselves and ruling over the ashes of public liberty. We won’t let them succeed.

I’m not as optimistic that senate repubs will reject this bill even as they added $500 billion of cuts to Medicare, which we pay for BTW, in addition to the cuts to Medicaid!!!! For repubs, as they say, cruelty IS the point! #lastword

DOGE is supposedly trying to cut government jobs, but the "department" itself is hiring. And they offer government jobs that pay near the top of the scale, from $120,000 to $190,000. Inexperienced Elon hires are making more than veteran civil servants. www.wired.com/story/doge-a...
