Tapper can go on a podcast and trash Democrats — “no wonder you fuckers are losing elections” — and nobody bats an eye. It’s only bias when you’re telling the truth about republicans.

"why would I want a union I make good money already" Brad Pitt, Tom Cruise, Julie Robert and Angelina Jolie are in unions. As are LeBron James, Juan soto, and Patrick Mahomes. I think you vastly underestimate what a union is or can do. A worker is a worker.

It's always been "two weeks." 15 years ago when he was claiming that Obama's birth certificate was fake ("You wouldn't believe what we've found!"), he was asked to provide evidence, and he said he'd do so in "two weeks." "Two weeks" = "I'm lying"

CEO pay is up 1,085% since 1978, while typical worker pay is up just 24%. Why do we always hear "we can't afford to pay our workers more" but never "we can't afford to pay our CEO more"?

While there might be a thoughtful, likely bipartisan alternative, "we seem headed toward a conversation that rules out some of the most promising policy responses, while reinforcing retrograde—and in some cases downright creepy—attitudes about gender."

Of course advance information on US combat operations is classified. Pretending otherwise is an insult to our troops, who all know this. The Secretary is unfit to lead.

Even if you (wrongly) believe that some immigrants lack due process rights, what’s to stop the government from claiming that you are an undocumented immigrant; removing you to El Salvador; citing an “administrative error”; and refusing to do anything to bring you back? The answer is due process.

You cannot legally send Americans to an El Salvadorian prison no matter what they have done. Plain and simple.

This weekend feels so much like the first week of March 2020. It’s a feeling of weightlessness, as the bottom is dropping out under civilization but we don’t yet know what we’re falling into.

If you happen to live in Southern Oregon, or plan to go to the Shakespeare Festival, I'll be on a panel for Ashland.news next month (April 10) to talk about the state of local news. They'll be screening the documentary "Stripped for Parts." Should be a good talk! ashland.news/OurEvents/

Dear Democrats: If the Republicans want a vote from you, make them beg you for it. Beg. Until then, do nothing. Have a price and make it very high. Explain your offer well before the vote to the public. Not this. You gave it for nada.

Americans who are pro-democracy – which is most of us – want Democrats to fight hard against Republican fascism. They don't want bewilderment and helplessness. They don't want mumbo-jumbo about how voting with the fascists now will work out in the long run. Fight hard or get the hell out of the way.

If we can "avoid a government shutdown" by voting for this CR, then why is the entire Department of Education closed today? Why is USAID closed? Why are hundreds of billions in grant contracts frozen? We are already in the shutdown. And your votes DON'T stop it. In fact, they allow it to expand.

the absolute most charitable thing you can say about a lot of democratic lawmakers is that they want to hold onto a political order that no longer exists
