If you slowly destroy the SSA, and no one in power does anything to stop it, it becomes very easy to repurpose that money in ways that would appear to satisfy government debts and pay for tax cuts.

Bright passionate people who wanted to dedicate their lives to public service were fired in a mass email over the holiday weekend. This has absolutely nothing to do with efficiency, fraud, waste, or abuse. And your life will be worse because of it.

It's getting tiring to keep saying this, but for posterity's sake I will: any previous administration would have been instantly sunk by this. Before January 20, 2017, this would have been the most stunning corruption scandal in the history of the American justice system. Now, it's...a Thursday.

Hey #DoSomething BlueSky: Senate Dems are doing something. I’m not being sarcastic here; they SHOULD be doing this and they deserve praise for it.

People have selective memory about this - the GOP got run over by Obama in his first two years: ACA & Dodd-Frank, got 3 GOP votes combined (all in the Senate for D-F). Then in 2011, they shut the door on Obama and were rewarded for it by...losing 8 seats in the House and 2 in the Senate.

I come from the right. It’s the cruelty. For the right, the cruelty is the point. The cruelty sells.

And DEI isn't just a solution to racial discrimination anymore. It helps with all sorts of discrimination. It's a solution to misogyny. It's a solution to ageism. It's a solution to homophobia. It's a solution to transphobia. It's a solution to more than even that.

Tariffs are inflationary, regardless of how this action is spun. This will cost every American money.

A whole lot of people on Bluesky have no idea how Congress works. And I’m not talking about “how it happens”, I’m talking about the actual rules (of the Senate in particular) and the way power, obstruction, and the majority/minority works.

This is painfully true, and one of their most effective young members, Jeff Jackson, was redistricted out and is back in NC as the new AG, which is great for the state but not for Hill Dems.

School choice enables a lot of things, but about 95% of them boil down to “helping (upper) middle class white kids go to private school for free.”

Never underestimate the ability of a Wall St guy to illustrate he knows nothing about how governing actually works. And in the meantime the huge "deregulation" push means nothing to investors compared to the launch of a single, successful Chinese AI competitor.

What the administration knows and is counting on is that even if you deport legal immigrants, there’s no mechanism to correct that for the individual, and any democrat who tries will just be falsely accused of bringing some terrible criminal back in to the country.

you won't often see a judge come closer to calling a DOJ attorney a Nazi than Judge Coughenour does here: "There are other times in world history where we look back and people of goodwill can say where were the judges, where were the lawyers?"
