If I were questioning Trump’s cabinet picks, I’d walk through the resumes of the nominees’ predecessors, then ask simply: “In what way are you qualified to take over for this person?”

America’s oligarchs have gotten bolder over time. They used to hide behind lobbyists, super PACs, and “grassroots” orgs. Now they openly corrupt social platforms, boast about killing newspaper endorsements, and literally dance onstage with candidates.

Best use of an em dash I’ve seen in a long time. 🤣

"Repeat after me: there was no 'landslide'. There was no 'blowout'. There was no 'sweeping' mandate given to Trump by the electorate. The numbers don’t lie." My new Guardian op-ed on the new GOP election lie - and why it's important to rebut it! I brought (lots of) receipts:

Biden’s personal interests coinciding with the public’s doesn’t transform it into something unjust or lessen its sense of mercy. To me, his interests are a plus. His family has suffered so much, and he has given everything to the US, asking him to sacrifice his son too would be unjust/unmerciful.

The Hunter pardon only makes it harder to criticize Trump in the media’s “both-sidesism” framing. It’s diff. in virtually every sense. More than that, though, I just don’t care. A lifetime of service earns you an occasional selfish act. Frankly, I would judge him more if he didn’t pardon Hunter.

I always said he’d get away with it. The rich, esp. rich white guys, are rarely held accountable. My partner, a white guy, said it’d be different this time; the MAL “raid” was proof enough. Yesterday, in a dejected tone, he said “You were right.” Normally I’d gloat, but I really wanted to be wrong.

How can something make you want to scream AND render you speechless? I used to wonder whether these so-called pro-lifers were stupid, sociopathic, or just plain evil. I no longer feel so limited.

If Matt Gaetz hadn’t hadn’t sexually abused multiple teenagers, they’d release the report. If Trump hadn’t cheated on his taxes, he’d release them. If Trump didn’t lie about the assassination attempt and medical report they’d release that. That’s why everyone around them has to sign NDA’s.

I sincerely apologize to all those folks I thought were exaggerating when they said “You ache for no reason when you’re in your 40s.” I swear my back hurts just from taking a nap.
