Ten years ago people called me the "Nate Silver of Obamacare" and I took it as a compliment. Today that memory makes me wince.

The most important area…was the acquisition of spies and sources of information from among businessmen of capitalist countries…our Department recruited the 40-year-old businessman…Donald Trump, nicknamed ‘Krasnov’.” #Krasnov

I’m just gonna say it…. White people shouldn’t be allowed to use the phrase “Good Trouble” because y’all always fuck up the meaning of black people’s words.

DOGE is getting a whole lot of headlines mainly because our brains aren't wired to make sense of millions, billions, or trillions of dollars. Lemme help: Math out the DOGE numbers and you'll discover that your DOGE dividend may buy you a coffee or two. The problem: There's just not that much waste.

So many white people enraged that Leader Jeffries wrote a book for kids explaining the values and power of democracy. "American values over Autocracy; Benevolence over Bigotry; The Constitution over the Cult" etc. A book written and tour scheduled well before most white voters chose fascism.

There was a time in this country when we built the interstate highway system, brought electricity to the rural South, and put men on the Moon. Know how we did it? A 90% progressive income tax on the wealthiest Americans. We used to be a proper nation.

Simple question. We used to have a taxation system that prevented billionaires.

This is the kind of framing I like to see. Call these clowns out on their “business acumen”. Would have been nice before the election.
