The MAGA agenda relies on fear and chaos. So when Kendrick Lamar uses a platform as big as the Super Bowl halftime show to say no, we are not afraid, that, in fact, we are a collective moving with a common purpose, it’s a direct hit to what MAGA needs to survive.

I saw the Kanye ad yesterday (it aired in the Philly market, where we were) but didn't click on the link. Today I found out it went to a website selling swastika T-shirts. This was a Superbowl ad. And it was to a website selling swastika T-shirts. I feel like I'm losing my mind.

Just now, I voted NO on a procedural step to advance Russ Vought's nomination to manage our nation's budget. In light of the illegal spending freeze orchestrated by Vought himself and the Trump administration's recent lawlessness, every Senator should vote NO.

Through comments, I learned about other big myths Americans believe about foreign aid: 1/ it's risen past 1% in recent years, esp. due to Ukraine - false, max is about 0.5% in 2022 $80B 2/ it's used mostly *not* for humanitarian aid - nope 3/ It's mainly about military objectives - nope

One of my party facts is that according to polls, Americans believe foreign aid is about 25% of the federal budget and on average that it *should* be about 10%. The actual number is less than 1%. Foreign aid has long been a boogey man of the right, so it's not surprising they're vilifying it now.

@ericreinhart.bsky.social submitted a column critical of RFK Jr. to The Los Angeles Times. What they printed under his byline bore little resemblance to what he submitted. We've published the piece as the author intended. Read it here: newrepublic.com/article/1910...

I love this time of year because people will post something super dramatic and vague like “Nooooooo” and I can’t tell if it’s about football or *gestures outside window* all of this.
