Billionaires can afford their own toys. But why pay for something yourself when you can get Republican lawmakers to buy it for you with taxpayers’ money?

The most important number in this poll is: a third of Americans have heard almost nothing about Trump’s bill that cuts Medicaid to pay for billionaire tax cuts. Call your friends & family. Peacefully protest. March. This is the billionaires versus everyone else — get the word out to everyone.

Minnesota Asshole Scott Walker said that when the “truth” (read: the obvious, bald-faced lie he created) came out, liberals would “be silent” about it. The truth is out. Scott Walker created and spread disinformation. And now we can expect him to be silent about it. open.substack.com/pub/fpwellma...

I was a little concerned that my beautiful wife would be annoyed that I got an electric car, as it’s not “normal.” Instead, she keeps asking to borrow it. :-)

I object on aesthetic and maybe quasi-moral grounds to language like “devout” and “deeply religious” in this context. If his fanaticism adhered to a different faith, he’d get “fanatic,” “extremist,” “zealot” etc. Perverting the Cross to commit murder exempts you from “devout”

If that man and his fuckass parade was above the fold of your newspaper, cancel your subscription. The people all around this country should’ve been the entire front page. We’ll get better news sources when we demand it.

I'm trying to imagine a Democratic president saying openly and proudly that he would be sending federal agents to target the 'Republican Power Center' in Texas, Florida, and Tennessee. We would be in the midst of a civil war before he'd finished saying those words.

As a four-decade veteran of the daily journalism business, let me tell you: Every competent political reporter in this country knows that Trump is trying to establish a dictatorship. The industry's shame is that so few journalists will say so, and the ones who do lose their jobs.

Yes, name it. What happened to Senator Padilla was an authoritarian attack both on a person and on the very concept of freedom of expression. It was an attack on our Constitution and cannot be tolerated. youtube.com/shorts/GXXtF...

Also, it's amazing but not at all surprising how much of the media has uncritically parroted Noem's line that Senator Padilla "lunged" at her. Again, without noting that THERE IS CLEAR VIDEO EVIDENCE HE DID NO SUCH THING. This isn't only bad journalism; its a racist trope that KILLS men of colour.

What I wish the camera guy had said in response to “There’s no recording here per FBI rights”: “I’m recording the crime you Nazi motherfuckers are committing against a United States Senator, who is likely to have all y’all’s jobs by suppertime.”

Spill, @gavinnewsom.bsky.social. If the man is a demented psychopath (he is), then you have a responsibility to expose him as such, specifically BECAUSE of your reverence for the office.

It’s amazing. The article recounts Noem’s take on things—that Padilla didn’t ID himself—without noting that there is clear VIDEO SHOWING HIM DOING SO. It feels like a literal “don’t believe what your eyes saw” moment. A total failure in coverage.

This was always one of Trump’s goals: flood the zone with lies until the media tires and stops reporting them as such. And it’s working, bigly.

Being uninvited from the White House caused Rand Paul to lose a lot of the respect he had for Donald Trump that Trump’s two impeachments, insurrection, four criminal indictments, criminal conviction, and sexual abuse damages verdict did not cause him to lose. Got it.

This is jump-ball journalism. The New York Times says Trump’s provocation in LA is either A) a step to maintain order; or B) creeping authoritarianism. NYT knows the answer is B, but won’t tell the public. Fascists love it when the media avoid conclusions and treat everything as a matter of opinion.

Every flashbang could instead be a meal for a poor kid. Every hotel room for a National Guardsman deployed to fire at our neighbors could house a homeless vet. Every "less-than-lethal" bullet pulled from a journalist's eye could be already needed healthcare for anyone else. All of this is a choice.
