Really stupid spate of articles wondering whether MAGA will fracture if Trump goes ahead and launches the US into war with Iraq. The cult is going to do whatever he says in the end.

Sending a trading partner a letter is to a trade negotiation deal as masturbation is to sex: Whatever you're imagining, you're not actually involving the other party, and you're not exploring gains from trade.

Keep in mind public land is land owned BY YOU, the taxpayer. Republicans want to sell it off so they can pay for their tax cuts for billionaires and corporations.

Remember when Trump told Big Oil he'd deliver their wish list if they spent $1 billion to elect him president?  Well, he's been doing exactly that — and now Senate Rs want to sweeten the deal with an extra $1 billion handout.  Another windfall for Big Oil, another betrayal of working people.

Tonight, I'll go home and sleep in my bed. I have a lawyer, I'll get due process. But Edgardo, whose arm was ripped from mine by ICE agents, has none of those things. That's why I'll keep coming back to court, week after week, to make sure that people's rights are protected.

CBO just estimated the macrodynamic impact on the cost of the GOP bill - i.e., "is this bill going to help the economy so much that it pays for itself?" CBO said that the bill pays for just 3.5% of itself - w/ a tiny upfront economic boost that declines over time. Legitimately embarrassing for Rs.

Public lands are just that: public, and owned by the taxpayer. Republicans want to auction them off to the highest bidder to pay for their billionaire tax cuts. Hell no.

The result of the antivaxx movement is death for kids. Whooping cough can be fatal for young infants - it causes them to stop breathing. Kids can only be vaccinated at 6-8w of life. Before then, protection is provided by vaccinating mum during pregnancy.

Nonviolent mass protests only work if they are sustained and not just one off every three months. If you actually want your nonviolent movement to work, you can’t go back to work on Monday. You actually have to sustain the protest for months or until you oust the fascist leader.

We should've made a bigger national crisis of someone breaking into Nancy Pelosi's home & trying to kill her husband. But then, we should've made a bigger national crisis about hundreds of someones breaking into the Capitol & trying to steal an election. But then, we should've done lots of things.
