There it is! "Putin went through a hell of a lot with me. He went through a phony witch hunt." He is referring to them weathering their collusion becoming public, and now is the big payback: together until the end.

Could we call it the difference between narrow self-interest (which she voted for, as a promise of free IVF) and a commitment to the broader good (which she voted against, and turns out it included her govt. job)? Should we know that the narrower good may be too narrow for ourselves & what we love?

Next year, the EU will require cars to have buttons & dials -- not just touchscreens -- to get a top safety rating. This is a great move. Drivers can fiddle with knobs & buttons without taking their eyes off the road, but they can't do that with touchscreens. (Even better: Tesla will hate this)

Elon Musk and DOGE are attacking our Constitution, stealing our data, and illegally freezing Congressional funding for key programs like Meals on Wheels and veterans health. That's why I introduced the BAD DOGE Act to delete DOGE. It’s time to put a stop to this lawlessness.

Republicans are lying when they say they won't cut Medicaid. They greenlighted a plan to gut Medicaid by $880 billion, and millions of Americans are going to suffer because of it.

Note here that Musk is now literally assigning himself new contracts based on the use of his DOGE wrecking crew and the associated micro-bros. this isn't a "conflict of interest". it's just handing yourself federal money www.cnn.com/2025/02/25/b...

If I were a Democrat, and I saw Trump do a purge of high-level generals who were women and people of color and wouldn't be "yes men," I wouldn't vote to advance JD Vance's college friend for Secretary of the Army. And yet....16 Democrats just did so

Thread - I've been thinking a lot about Walter Lippmann’s Public Opinion lately, especially in the context of Musk’s role in dismantling the federal workforce through DOGE. It’s a perfect example of what Lippmann warned about over a century ago.

Democrats are fundamentally misunderstanding the moment: We're not asking them to be legislators right now. We need them to be politicians. There's nothing to be done about the legislative situation. They're right about that. But there's PLENTY to be done as politicians.
