If that’s what they do to a United States Senator with a question, imagine what they can do to any American that dares to speak up. We will hold this administration accountable.

the thing about this is that these guys don’t actually want blunt talk; blunt talk would be things like “you’re a sexist and a bigot whose contributions to culture have been overwhelmingly negative, and you frequently respond to mild criticism like a child”

There are already a bunch of people on the right making money off of confused young men. Mark has decided there is an opening on the left to do this. Don’t fall for his bullshit. Billionaires aren’t trying to help you, they are trying to get your money.

McGovern: "You are literally taking food off kids' plates to buy Elon Musk another yacht. I guess he's getting a good return on his campaign donations ... this is not policy. This is theft."

political journalists obsess over the public’s lack of trust in our profession but strangely see that as downstream of things like “we didn’t talk enough about how biden was old” and not “many of us appear to be indifferent to a nihilistic attack on the constitution”

Republicans are saying that these cuts will be reinvested into Medicaid for people who "deserve" it. If that were true, the budget would stay the same. But that's not what's happening. Why? Because down the hall, they are trying to finance tax breaks for billionaires.

“And so the Greeks send me this horse, we’re talking about one of the most beautiful horses you’ve ever seen. So big. So strong. Normally they keep this kind of horse for themselves but they were such big fans they said sir, please take our big wonderful horse we’ll even bring it to your house”

The message isn't "you're bad." It's "respect people." The problem is you believe being a boy is having a license to say/do anything to people without repercussions. Somehow there are men all over the world who are not experiencing a "brutal" time because they don't find respect to be difficult.

Quick reminder to the small number of people who are like “but is it real bread if it contains Chemicals?” We add preservatives to bread because before we did that, poor people (and sometimes rich ones) died of starvation or food poisoning.

someone tell alex thompson that he has a great chance to cover a president in mental decline if he wants to take it

Things that have extended the average lifespan of working people: Unions Healthcare (through unions, Medicare and Medicaid) Universal public education Labor laws Environmental regulations Social Security If you seek to undermine all of these,what is your underlying objective?
