“It was almost as if the Kraft campaign consists mostly of talking points crafted by highly paid consultants, soon to be backed up by a bunch of television and radio ads and text messages funded by Kraft family cronies.”

On X, most of my replies are blue check neo-Nazi repeating insane right wing conspiracy theories. But it’s still better than Bluesky where people sometimes give me a hard time about not using alt text.

If your business model doesn’t work without breaking the law, then you’re not in business. You’re in organized crime.

If we stop calling these “grants” and start calling them “contracts,” it’s clearer to people why this is such an abuse of power. This wasn’t a bunch of gifts. This was a bunch of binding contracts between researchers and the US govt for specific agreed upon projects.

Unprecedented corruption & illegal monetization of the presidency, happening right in front of us. Richard Nixon’s crimes look like harmless high school pranks in comparison. Incredibly unserious oath violation by every single member of Congress. A total failure of Article I of the Constitution.

without comment on any particular scams I think scamming is going to be a gigantic part of our lives going forward and I have no confidence whatsoever in a Trump administration to do anything useful about it. the kicker is that Dems need a much better plan as well

As Budget Chair I got constant Republican lectures to ignore looming climate disaster because of the debt. “The debt, the debt, the DEBT!!” Now they’re in charge and they’re hiking debt limit $4 trillion for tax breaks, mostly to the richest. What a sham.

Yeah the thing is you can point to shitbags on the left all day long but the furthest left congresspeople are still mostly decent people and the furthest right congresspeople are wannabe genocidaires so the 'both sides' falls flat in practice

We live in such a golden age of science with so much potential for discovery and alleviating some of the most severe human diseases. And we are going to piss it all away because … I’m not exactly sure why. No one has made a convincing case why this helps anyone, red or blue or purple.

I wish journalists would stop framing political news as wins or losses for politicians or political parties. It’s an abrogation of our mission. Why do we keep doing this? Is the spending bill a win or loss for the American people? Who does it help? Who does it hurt? Is it sound policy? Fiscally?

Sounds like the White House is trying to cover up the cognitive decline of the President. I’ve heard that’s supposed to be an enormous scandal!

Up until now, the whole crypto ponzi scheme looked to be a problem almost exclusively for the idiots who invested. But now whole federal government will be on hook for the eventual meltdown, setting us up for a reprise of the 2008 financial meltdown and requiring trillion dollar bailouts.

Now is a great time to reach out to your member of Congress who promised not to cut Medicaid. Or to your conservative friends who don't think we should be exploding the debt. Because today, Donald Trump met with Republicans on Capitol Hill, trying to pass a bill that would do both.
