This exchange is so very telling. Trump repeatedly claims the photoshopped MS-13 on Kilmar Abrego Garcia's knuckles is real, Terry Moran keeps telling him it isn't, prompting Trump to say this: "I never heard of you. I picked you. You’re not being very nice. He had MS-13 tattooed... Just say yes!"

In 1913 we did not Social Security, Medicaid, Medicare, the EITC, SNAP or much else of a social safety net. Life expectancy was about 52 years. If this is the era they want to go back to, lets hear about all of it.

The conservative movement has turned against reality on every scientific issue of our time, from gun violence to climate change to epidemiology. If campuses are ideologically homogenous, it's not because academia has ostracized conservatives. It's because conservatives have ostracized academia.

Ossoff: He’s so consumed by his efforts to secure revenge, crush his enemies, and conquer Greenland that he’s doing nothing for the people who elected him. His entire domestic agenda is tax breaks for the wealthy, rounding up immigrants, revenge, and centralizing as much power as he can..

We are dealing with a Trump “regime” and not a “government by the people and for the people.” The Trump regime is “against the people.” The “government” is already shut down by Trump. Do not support a CR that is complicit with an authoritarian regime. open.substack.com/pub/meidasto...

I must say I’m dismayed at the number of people who still think hosting extremists for a conversation is fine as long as you ask “tough questions” and “push back forcefully.” This idea betrays such a profound misunderstanding of the political conflict and of how these people operate.

When you describe the actual agenda of the Republican Party to ordinary people—like this kind of comical reverse Robin Hoodism—time & time again researchers find that they simply will not believe you. They cannot fathom anyone could be this cartoonishly evil.

A handful of billionaires now have unprecedented control over banking, the food we eat, our healthcare, and the information we receive. Many are now currying favor with Trump to avoid accountability and maintain their power. This is what oligarchy looks like.

When I was a Hill staffer in 2009, a Dem trifecta was trying to pass universal healthcare. In response, Senate GOP released a memo detailing all of the tactics they in the minority could use to delay the effort as much as possible. I'm recirculating that 2009 GOP memo here. Take inspiration from it.
