If Biden had done this it would have been a major story that consumed the media for the next week.

AOC: The order has come down to this committee. Find $880 billion to pay for a tax cuts on yachts, jets, billionaires, and mega corporations while working class people pay higher tax rates than Facebook does. Undocumented immigrants pay more in taxes than many large corporations

If the legitimate press just permanently stopped attending these events and were replaced by propaganda outlets, that would be both optically clarifying and improve actual journalism.

Oh that’s easy - the Republican base is so mad that they were told to make a sacrifice during COVID to save lives that they’re fully dedicated to removing anyone’s ability to tell them that again and they don’t care what goes with it. It’s a party of spoiled children who don’t want to listen to mom.

A lot of people on here keep fantasizing about the moment Trump "fires" Elon Musk because Musk has stepped out too far in front of him and I'm sure that feels good, but after watching the last Musk/Trump presser I think it's worth considering that we are essentially watching a coup via elder abuse.

Again, this idea has been floating out there for ages, and many other governments around the globe use the concept of shadow cabinets. Why haven't the Dems actually done this?

Two thoughts: -It is darkly funny to watch a senator essentially vote to abolish the formal power of Congress and then humbly petition the new emperor for amnesty. -I expect we’ll see more of this as people suddenly realize how dependent red states are on federal largesse.

Something I’ve always wanted from the NYT, but that I can’t remember it ever doing, is for the newspaper to show some professional indignation about being grandiosely lied to.

This is all Joe Biden‘s fault. He thought Trump was beaten for good and his whole team underestimated the depravity of the entire Republican Party and acted like it was politics in the good old days. No one who worked for him should ever get a job in politics again

Good morning @politicalwire.com your headline about privatizing Fannie and Freddie is wrong. This idea won’t cut costs it will increase costs, it will just move those costs into the private sector which will pass them on to consumers.

if the president can say “i don’t like the department of energy,” and within a week it’s closed, then the constitution means nothing, and the president’s entire claim to power is the loyalty of the military. either he is constrained by the constitution or he’s a dictator, there isn’t a middle ground

It's just immaturity. When independent outlets start to have bigger budgets and footprints, they'll understand essential functions of journalism like ignoring things, feigning ignorance and telling lies.

In 2020 I was trying to convince a dem primary voter to go for Bernie and his response was “I know Biden isn’t anyone’s favorite but we need someone to win and keep anything like this from happening again” and a lot of people were very sincere in that belief and Biden did let them down completely

Elon Musk's mother moved to South Africa in the year Apartheid was created, and she and Elon left the year it ended. The last Apartheid Prime Minister, a man who refused to testify at the Truth and Reconciliation Committee, was a family friend who stayed at their home. This is not a crazy theory.

1. Show up. Go to the places Musk is taking over, bring cameras, demand to find out what's going on and where it breaks the law. 2. Refuse to allow standard business to continue unimpeded. Deny unanimous consent, delay votes, etc. 3. Be public about how illegal all of this is 4. Lay out a plan

Not all Republicans are going to toe the line and blame DEI. But none of them will object to the Administration blaming DEI. Not even the ones who are women or non-white themselves. Because being in the 2025 GOP requires having no honor or character.

They are waging a censorship campaign through litigation and now government retaliation. That's what it is, and we should call it that. This is a war on free speech. They are enemies of the First Amendment.
