What absolutely terrifies me about this is I could totally see him pushing to ease inspections on bird flu at poultry farms or even threaten the industry in order try and get them to lower the price of eggs. I mean, we do know he is that crazy.

Yes, it’s catching on, friends and family are looking around joining organized protests, and calling their Congress people

@AmandaCarpenter.bluesky.social explained how the tea party began as a grassroots movement that connected mostly on Meetup and it wasn’t until after they made a buzz at town halls and congressional offices that people like her were hired on to boost the signal. This is the way.

Maybe the problem the problem is men. Most of the crowd’s ire was over the j6 pardons and King Trump. Women over 65 were the only cohort where Dems didn’t lose ground and even with Harris‘s slippage she still won women all by average of 6 points. Trump won men by 12 points. Maybe the problem is men.

Lots of people under 40 don’t watch TV news and many hardly watch TV. They’re all on social media or streaming or YouTube, etc. and it was Nora’s decision to go and she just moved upstairs. Probably didn’t want to have to publicly deal with orange menace every day for four years.

Yes, we’ve noticed. But isn’t the end of the story when China, Turkey, India, Brazil, Mexico, Japan all seek closer economic ties and cooperation with Europe, the second largest marketplace on the planet. Trump is a global mob boss wannabe but there are lot of chess pieces still on the board.

The Dems were so stupid not electing her top Dem of HOC but instead they went with 74 year-old Gerry Connolly who will never think outside of the box because he will be too busy worrying about protecting the legacy of his dying Geriatric party. Republicans are evil but Dems have their own dark shit

Seems he signed up to speak, but after he was done instead of exiting he walked into the middle of the meeting, which was an act of civil disobedience, or disturbance or whatever the term is in their local legal nomenclature. It was great, more please!

More of this, please

It really is quite the throwback, with a focus on substance not spectacle, and with a sense of earnestness and moral purpose, unlike the cynical and snide worldview of the Arrested Development Rogan Gang.

This is the media creating what the great Marvin Kalb dubbed “ the one salacious story” approach to news by attaching more threads onto a story that already has a buzz in order to give the illusion of a larger problem simply because it’s a cheap easy way to get clicks.

Hit the streets people find a protest in your hood. The tea party did in 2010 and it worked. They soon got support from donors and flipped the house in 2012 styming all of Obama’s efforts till he left office. I realize this is a constitutional, not a legislative crisis, but the roadmap is clear

This is exactly right. The weaponization of our technology & data is only going to increase from here. It happens to women first. And then everyone else. bsky.app/profile/stev...

You were so right from the very beginning. I followed your reporting over the years from Germany: Farage and Banks, Bannon, what Wylie shared with you. Since Brexit everybody could see where Putin wants this to head. And he is there now. He is knocking at our doors from the East and from West.

The gerontocracy needs to go

Maybe instead of talking about the price of eggs, you should address the fact that bird flu jumped to a human in the US this week for the first time and that in the last 20 years of the thousand people who have gotten it 50% have died so can we talk about that? JFC
