Boyle cites CBO numbers: "For people in the bottom 1%, they will experience a 4% loss household wealth. Meanwhile, for people in the top 10%, they will see their household resources increase by 2%. It is as simple as that."

Trump officials' showings at hearings today were disasters, but it doesn't make headlines bc the media's default assumption is that Rs are clownish rascals. But if Dems didn't know what was happening at their agencies or what habeas corpus is, it'd be front page news. This is a key media asymmetry.

I’m waiting for any of the Biden obsessed pundits to write a book about Trump’s obvious mental decline. Everyone knows he has “chronic delusion.” “Stage 9 cancer,” claiming he won NY and Cali, the guy is fried. Nobody wants to talk about it while he destroys the country! Shame!

For the more than 55,000 federal workers who call MD-08 home, I’ve introduced an amendment demanding that the essential public servants at NOAA and HHS and elsewhere get back to work. Will the GOP allow a vote? Or continue to let DOGE sack America’s federal workers?

In 1981, the New Jersey GOP created a “Ballot Security Task Force” to harass Black and Latino voters on Election Day. Armed men, including off-duty police officers, stopped voters and demanded to see voter registration cards. It led to a consent decree against the GOP. www.cnn.com/2020/10/02/o...

Best activism tip I've ever received, shared once again: find the people who have already been doing the work for decades and ask them what they need, rather than launching your own bespoke advocacy project about an issue that's new for you.

Should the party that thinks it’s ok to use a woman’s lifeless body as an incubator be trusted to decide how we live? It’s not even about their religion. It’s about controlling the means of production. In their twisted worldview, our bodies are merely components in a factory to build their wealth.

The basic American political reality is that blue states subsidize red states. The Trump variation is to keep collecting ever more taxes from blue states while taking away ever more services from red states. This is a gamble that voters like to suffer, or no longer matter. time.com/7286199/trum...

Today is unfortunately a good reminder of just how depraved many Trump supporters are. It should be the easiest thing in the world to just wish someone well in light of a devastating health diagnosis. That they can't even meet that very low bar says a lot about their character.
