I think it’s imperative that Democrats say that the firings are illegal. In every piece of communication, it needs to be clear that Republicans are breaking the law.

Anyone could have told you they were planning to feed all of those emails to AI. What else were they going to do? Read the millions of emails they demanded? I don't think anyone believed the DOGE twerps were going to do that. People need to be cognizant of the AI end game for this whole project.

I understand why these stories exist but it’s important to be clear that he’s not “saving” 16 billion, he’s choosing, personally, without oversight, to wipe out 16 billion dollars of government services to veterans and the disabled and food safety etc etc

Another word for "regulation" is... "consumer protection" "environmental protection" "Regulation" means your milk is safe. "Regulation" means toys that harm your babies are removed from the shelves. "Regulation" means chemical companies can't dump waste in your river.

Listen, we had to axe the Listeria department because we never heard of it and it sounded vaguely African and not the Elon kind. So your kids now have Listeria but no DEI. So basically a win/win.

I feel like I'm going insane every time I see a media story about DOGE that doesn't also mention the fact that the Government Accountability Office exists and performs the exact function that DOGE pretends to, only in a credibly constitutional, non-partisan, and conflict-of-interest-free manner

Whether it's Hillary Clinton sharing risotto tips on a private email server or Elon Musk giving full access to all government information to a nineteen-year old named Big Balls with ties to a child pornography collective known for its extortion techniques, both sides have played loose with security.

I kind of hate this widely-shared chart. While our life expectancy is too low and our health expenditure is too high, they are actually not particularly connected to each other. Most of the excess mortality is caused by cars, guns, and drugs - things that health expenditure has little to do with.

The fact that Rahm Emanuel still has a prominent voice in the Democratic Party in 2024 is indicative of Democrats' problems. I don't know how to explain to you that a person who actively covered up a police shooting and tried to tank an attempt at universal healthcare [only 2 examples] is terrible.

The new episode of "Next Comes What" is up! It covers how the U.S. has been moving further outside the rule of law for a long time and what that means in a second Trump administration. We look at how people stood against torture after 9/11 and how everyday Americans are already defying Trump allies.
