“the United States is not a startup. The federal government exists to do all of the things that are definitionally not profitable, that serve the public good rather than protect investor profits. (The vast majority of startups also fail, something the United States cannot afford to do.)”

Still hard to believe we voted for fascism with unemployment at 4.2%, the strongest performing economy in the rich world, & inflation, at 2.4% PCE in Nov 2024, closer to target than 85% of the months since we established it in 2012: bsky.app/profile/mcop.... Verily, a marvel of political economy.

This is dangerous. Trump wants to hand over FAA to Musk and SpaceX. This means your taxpayer-purchased air traffic control facilities and equipment, packages, and emergency flights would be under control of SpaceX, which is unchecked by the flying public and U.S. military.

I’m begging Democrats to stop talking about tax breaks for billionaires and the price of eggs! They are firing Air Traffic Controllers, stranding Americans in hostile countries, and getting ready to download our data from the IRS. No one is sitting around thinking “I’m worried about the deficit!”

Trump's latest is the creation of a "task force" to investigate "Christian persecution" There has never been a group of people in American LESS persecuted than Christians, and there has never been a group of people who wanted to be persecuted MORE.

Crockett: I am tired of the white tears. When you compare me to Marjorie Taylor Greene or me to Lauren Boebert, there is no comparison. So the only people that are crying are the mediocre white boys that have been beaten out by people that historically have had to work so, so much harder

“You’ve got to call off your weekend plans, you’ve got to piss off your colleagues. But the tools are there.” Democrats aren’t helpless. They have tools at their disposal that can grind Senate business to a halt if the GOP tries to ram through Trump’s extreme agenda: indivisible.org/resource/how...

RONALD REAGAN (1988): We should be aware of the demagogues who are ready to declare a trade war against our friends, weakening our economy, our national security, and the entire free world—all while cynically waving the American flag.

When I was a Hill staffer in 2009, a Dem trifecta was trying to pass universal healthcare. In response, Senate GOP released a memo detailing all of the tactics they in the minority could use to delay the effort as much as possible. I'm recirculating that 2009 GOP memo here. Take inspiration from it.

Europeans, learn from America's and tragic self-destruction. We could have tried to be great but our racism and greed did us in. Also, Elon Musk is trying to interfere in your elections. Might wanna stop him.

Here's a clip from 2009, when President Obama spoke about the Continental Airlines crash -- the LAST time we had an airline crash with fatalities in America. He didn't blame Bush. He didn't blame Reagan. He just consoled America. A REAL Commander in Chief.
