The greatest trick they ever played on the American people was convincing us that even though most of us are only one car accident or layoff from bankruptcy, we're somehow not "working class."

If you're not listening to @edzitron.com you're missing out.

Dems don't need a radical course correction as much as a return to basics: Universal healthcare. A living wage and a safe/fair workplace. Affordable housing. Good public education and debt free postsecondary ed. Respect for human dignity, regardless of race, religion, gender, or sexuality.

A major problem that Democrats face is that, in an effort to be a centrist, big tent party, they lack a really coherent set of core ideas to organize around, with perhaps the exception of being "not the Republicans." The result is that this allows the Republicans to label them however they like.

Vivek Ramaswamy talked about white MAGA folk the way that MAGA folks talk about BIPOC, and it turns out that they don't like it.

Everything in this is disgusting; none of it is surprising.

For the record:

Here's what I love - he's only doing this because he sees it as a slight to Barak Obama. As though Obama is losing sleep over this.

As much as it can feel like a joke calling Elon Musk "the Shadow President," it's not actually all that funny. I fear he is the Crassus to Trump's Cesar.

It's fun to needle Trump about "President Trump." He's so vain and thin-skinned that, while I'm sure he thinks "the left" were given marching orders, the reality is that he's just that predictable.

Look, Trump is a grifter. He always has been. He's prone to spouting bullshit and hyperbole. He almost always backs down as soon as the stakes get real. That's basically what happened this weekend.

BREAKING: Nancy Mace is in intensive care after a cashier at Target wished her a “Happy Holidays” instead of a “Merry Christmas.” Thoughts and prayers for a possible, eventual recovery.

Just wondering 🤔 How many boxes of fascism have been checked already?😳 You know. #resist

Miss information thrives in a low information environment. Most people are just trying to feed their kids and pay their rent. "Well, I heard someone say..." is probably the most news the get.

Lol. The truth is that, if you strip away the money, these are all pretty pathetic people.

WHOA 😳! Someone is getting pissed off! 😡 I love it 🥰

Historical fact

This! It's about control, it always has been!

"No one voted for Elon Musk. Not one person," says @chrislhayes.bsky.social. "The idea that this is what the American people wanted I think is just nonsense."

Moskowitz: All I've heard for the last couple weeks about this giant mandate, landslide, trifecta, put on your big boy pants. Pass your own bill. We're only here because you guys can't agree among yourselves.

The puppet master and his puppet.

Sound about right.

Right?

A new analysis of data from the Juno spacecraft suggests that the ice shell covering the ocean on Jupiter's moon Europa might be WAY thicker than anticipated. (With comments from @theplanetaryguy.bsky.social) Possibly bad news for any hope of life signs from Europa Clipper, currently en route. 🧪🔭

I simply want President Biden to march into the Brady Press Room and pound the podium demanding Congress pass the CR and not shut down the government. I want him and Harris on Capitol Hill pushing in person. If he’s worried about his legacy, letting it end on an unnecessary shutdown isn’t helping.

Donald Trump may not see it yet, but Elon’s flex on the shutdown has nothing to do with the bill itself and everything to do with Musk taking his newfound political power and influence out for a spin. Buckle up. It’s going to be a bumpy ride.

It's just getting better and better...

Let's just pull back the curtain.

President-elect Musk is really setting down the marker of how he wants to run his administration. VP Trump better pay attention.

Why are we even pretending? #PresidentMusk

Well, we can't be the only ones having fun, can we?

It's a mystery

Drip...drip...drip...

What could possibly go wrong?

It shouldn’t have to be like this #EndGunViolenceNow

Fuckin' a, bubba

I'm tired of the grocery store being a $50 trip no matter what little you grabbing
