@aoc.bsky.social: "They're saying cut $880 billion from the Energy & Commerce Committee. I sit on that committee. Almost the entire budget that Energy & Commerce explores is Medicaid and Medicare. There is no way they can make their math square without enormous and devastating cuts to Medicaid."

Everybody's upset abt this or that thing Dems did or didn't do at the faux-SOTU. Poor messaging, poor this, bad that. Very few of those things matter much or will be things we'll remember in a couple months. What they do on the CR really does matter. A LOT. That shld be 10x more focus anything else.

The US military has removed photos of the B-29 bomber “Enola Gay” — which dropped the first atomic bomb on Japan — apparently because it contains the word “gay,” which violates their new anti-DEI rules.

Verily I tell you that we are in a propaganda war. The other side has it easy. They need to make people scared. We need to convince people of the power of freedom and caring for each other. Luckily, those things are pretty great.

Matt Yglesias, August 2024: Kamala Harris is running a great campaign on my favorite centrist themes like patriotism, unwavering support for Israel & personal responsibility which I like "so much." Matt Ygelesias, March 2025: Leftists are lying when they say Harris ran a centrist campaign.

It’s pretty interesting that both Tim Walz and Gavin Newsom are clearly positioning themselves to run for President and one thought he should publicize that he’s having diplomatic conversations with Canadian provinces close to Minnesota and the other thought he should publicize that he sucks

One thing I'm fucken sick of hearing is that people on the poverty line "don't want handouts." Well, the rich take hand outs. Maybe they're rich bc they were offered handouts. Maybe they're rich bc they take them. This "shame in receiving free money" for the poor but not the rich makes me SO MAD
