The MAGA CPAC crowd have one skill that I wish I had: They have an amazing ability to listen to the same stories >100 times, and act like they've never heard them before. I wish I had that skill when my 98 y.o. Grandmother was still alive. Would've made both our lives easier

$200 million taxpayer dollars spent on “tell me I’m pretty” ads to stroke his own ego, while he fires people to “save money.” Sociopathic.

I know it’s been treated as a sideshow but Musk’s insane breeding fetish, the high likelihood that his actual number of children is far, far higher than known, and the fact he has effectively abandoned almost all of them is actually one of the most damning things people can learn about the man

In the depths of the Nebraskan winter, 2400 people came out to listen to Bernie Sanders in Omaha last night. 800 had to be turned away at the door. Over 190,000 tuned into the livestream. There is a movement to be harnessed here. @sanders.senate.gov (📸 Anna Bahr)

“As an Elon Musk biographer, I would peg his IQ as between 100 and 110,” ... “There’s zero evidence in his biography of anything higher. And I want to repeat that now, lest you think it a typo. There’s zero evidence, from his life history, of Musk having anything higher than a 110 IQ.”

Likely US House of Rep cuts to just Medicaid ($880 billion) and SNAP food benefits ($230 billion) alone could total $1.1 trillion. Oddly, this turns out to be the exact number that trump & congressional magas want to hand to the richest 1% in a renewal and expansion of their 2017 tax scam...

The rate of descent into lawlessness in the United States continues to accelerate. Until that descent is arrested, and we can assess what institutions still hold, the country and its citizens are fundmantally unsafe.

Remarkable: Trump's own pollster just found that in swing House districts, Dems lead by 5 points and voters want tax policy to prioritize working people, per Politico. Yet GOP is about to brutally slash the safety net and give the rich huge tax cuts! New piece: newrepublic.com/article/1918...
