A tricky thing about modern society is that no one has any idea when they don’t die. Like, the number of lives saved by controlling air pollution in America is probably over 200,000 per year, but the number of people who think their life was saved by controlling air pollution is zero.

This is absurd. This is why they want to put abortion and minimum wage back on the ballot next year - so they get another chance to deceive us. STOP ELECTING THESE CLOWNS.

I have a staycation week, and today was working-on-the-car day. I did the differential fluid change, which isn't on VW's maintenance schedule but is recommended by the manufacturer of the diff. Just enough of a pain in the ass to make me feel like I accomplished something doing it myself. #VW #GTI

I feel that if, in 2010, you had told me that Citizens United would lead to someone literally giving oversized $1 million checks to voters in exchange for their votes, I would have called you a delusional conspiracy theorist. And I would have been wrong.

And a lot of those 20,000 people will probably end up need of Medicaid and SNAP when they're out of work. Note also that Hawley's quote says that he only opposes cuts that affect workers. If you can't work, you can fuck right off.

In a rational world, this would cause all of those GOP lawmakers to be out of a job the next time they're up for re-election. I wish I lived in a rational world.
