I’m not sure if you can overdose on schadenfreude but we’re about to find out

That any of us have to care about the messy breakup of these two massive narcissists — and that they both individually wield such massive power — is an indictment of our political system and further proves the poisonous influence of Big Money on our democracy.

My very hot take: CBO is basically the most functional component of the legislative branch. The staff are super smart, non-partisan (their analysis annoys both Ds and Rs), and prolific--putting out incredibly helpful public materials and backup data. It's Congress's jewel.

These two dudes fighting like teenage girls is cringe AF.

very fun to read frederick douglass accurately describe the problem with the pardon power in 1867

KENNEDY: If Vietnam came to you and said, 'You win. We're gonna remove all tariffs and all trade barriers. Would the US please do the same?" Would you accept that deal? LUTNICK: Absolutely not. That would be the silliest thing we could do KENNEDY: What's the purpose of reciprocity then?

Only the NYT would find a reporter who has never heard of strategic bombing to talk about war

It also illustrates how administrative hurdles keep people from getting benefits. This is the kind of thing many people deal with when they try to enroll in Medicaid, SNAP, etc.

I remember a conversation in grad school with a white woman from California who was upset that “minorities would soon be the majority” there. When I asked why that would be so bad she sputtered and left.

The #MAGAMurderBudget is going to kill people.

🚨 Trump administration cancels Biden-era guidance protecting emergency abortions. This is not pro life. It is a direct threat to women’s lives. Revoking protections abandons patients in crisis. No politician should stand between a doctor and lifesaving care. www.usatoday.com/story/news/h...

Donald has spent the last week pardoning his friends who defrauded Medicare, union pensions, banks, and more. This is what “fraud and abuse” actually looks like. www.miamiherald.com/news/local/c...

This is impeachable. It is a “high crime” to impound appropriations, bc it’s in defiance of both the Constitution (basically ≈ all of Article I) and the Budget Control and Impoundment Act of 1974. Ya know, laws and shit! Rs just dgaf when their team breaks laws to do stuff America doesn’t support.

As hurricane season begins, FEMA is in disarray, @dgraham.bsky.social writes. Who manages the disaster if the disaster managers are the disaster?

ICE dressed up like utility workers who offer "free estimates" if invited inside. Neighbor recorded the ICE goons and intervened, just before a young boy let them into his home. Tucson Electric Power was not told ICE agents would be impersonating their utility workers as part of the ICE raid.

“The picture of the world's richest man killing the world's poorest children is not a pretty one.” Bill Gates re Elon Musk
