We should figure out who is in charge of this company that keeps failing at space and make sure they are never put in charge of anything to do with our government.

The book Destiny of the Republic is great. The topic is very timely - Garfield's death by a demented office seeker (spoiler) led to the creation of the civil service system that Trump is now undoing *Look at this cast

Last week, Republicans voted to gut Medicaid and take away healthcare from 8-year-old kids like William. Don’t let them lie to you. This is what they voted for. But we still have a chance to stop it.

Rep. Zooey Zephyr - My Wife - just gave an incredible speech against a drag ban in Montana. It was so strong that a Republican rose to speak passionately against the bill, chastising the sponsor. The drag ban dies in Montana, flips 10+ Republican votes! This is the power of representation.

This is so profoundly strange from @slotkin.senate.gov. The Harris campaign ran one of the most aggressive outreach efforts to moderates, independents, and soft Republicans in recent memory!

If I were a centrist Democrat worried that Democrats are too associated with "woke" messaging, I might refrain from constantly reinforcing that association by talking incessantly about "woke" messaging.

i’m sorry, i’m tired of this shit. there was no pronoun policing. i have encountered exactly three or four land acknowledgments in like ten years, and the most you’ll hear about “intersectionality” is in liberal nonprofits. this is just freefloating resentment masquerading as analysis.

Hot tip: The electorate doesn’t like politicians because they retroactively change positions to last year’s dementia grandma Facebook meme. They like people who proactively take stands. That’s what people mean by strength. It’s almost irrelevant what you’re talking about. Nobody likes a worm.

Trade deficit is up. Stock market is crashing. Gas prices are rising. Consumer confidence is down. Grocery costs are soaring. Trump is terrible at managing the economy. Why? Because all he cares about is the billionaires. Not us.

the framing of this story is very disingenuous. halfway down it clarifies that Trump taxes are NOT a “practical and beneficial” uses for tariffs, but you wouldn’t know that from the headline. also we should stop saying the outcome is unknown — prices are already up. www.theverge.com/news/613111/...

If a university spokesperson was doing this it would be national news, and used as justification for the federal government to defund the university. The truth is that antisemitism is just one of the excuses they are using to justify destroying independent institutions.

Fascists really hate when people laugh at them and make fun of them. They’re the most insecure, weak bunch of people walking around and the American Far Right in particular has 0 threshold for any kind of mocking. Their whole personalities are based off being mad because they are mocked.

Trump claimed the Biden administration spent $8 million "making mice transgender." The White House tried to back up this number with records of funding for research into cancer, asthma, and HIV, some of which used transgenic (genetically modified) mice.

The idea the president alone can levy taxes on a whim and spend it as he pleases without any congressional approval is the kind of thing so beyond the pale it's not unconstitutional, it's anti-constitutional. It is overturning in starkest terms the central rallying cry of the American Revolution.

It's really important for Dick Durbin, @whitehouse.senate.gov, and reporters to insist on an explanation here. Trump didn't just say "thank you" to Roberts for immunizing him from criminal liability, he said "thank you again" How many times and in what settings did they discuss this previously?

As reported, the entire staff of 538 was laid off this morning. This is a severe blow to political data journalism, and I feel for my colleagues. Readers note: As we were instructed not to publish any new content, all planned updates to polls data and averages are canceled indefinitely. Huge loss :(
