This, to me, is the most obvious messaging opportunity ever for Democrats. Chuck Schumer should be on the ground in Arkansas within 24 hours and Democrats in both houses of Congress should be filing measures to provide federal funds to assist in recovery efforts. Force Republicans to say no.

I'm not saying journalists should never interview admitted propagandists. There are journalistic reasons to do so. But if we do, we must be prepared to -- in fact it is our duty to -- challenge vociferously all unsubstantiated claims. Otherwise, we ourselves become propagandists.

The ironic thing is that competent dictatorships can host international events because they can decide to leave those visitors alone, and it will happen. And liberal democracies can host these events. But it may be hard for an incompetent, chaotic, authoritarian regime like Trump's to do so.

The GOP fought tooth & nail for decades against classifying acts of racial terrorism as federal hate crimes because they saw it as "federal over reach." Now they're all "ooh, let's make it a federal crime to vandalize cars built by the world's richest man who's also our biggest campaign donor."

Do you know who laid the foundation for the FDA? President Theodore Roosevelt. Do you know why? Because he read a great piece of literature that exposed the mistreatment of immigrant workers and the disgusting, unsanitary practices in meatpacking plants… The book is called “The Jungle.”

More and more you realize those "behind closed doors talks" with the administration have been straight up threats of physical violence against these reps and their families. Trump knows it's easy to bully politicians and newspapers and Ivys because, well, they're run by fucking soft losers

Elon Musk has been a walking SEC violation for a decade and no one cared. The entire Trump era could have been avoided if the US took white collar crime anywhere near as seriously as it does low level drug crime.

trump believes he is the boss of america and that it is our duty as his subjects to show him endless respect and deference. anything less than groveling is to be punished by the state.
