Asking communities to accept or even subsidize projects that will raise their utility bills — then, eventually, threaten their jobs — is a surefire political winner.

I am no fan of Ackman, but this is how to respond to loss with some level of grace and we should let him rather than constantly dunk

Beshear: Let me be clear. The president has both the funding and the authority to fund snap during a shutdown. In fact, every other president in every other shutdown has done so. People going hungry in this instance is a choice that this president has made.

Eventually, they’ll figure out population density. 🤡

How would you describe that worldview? My father told me something when I was very small to instill confidence in me: “Nobody in the world is worth more than you, but nobody’s worth less.” It is an egalitarian view that I’ve carried around in my life. That’s why I am for free schools, free universities, free health care, and free babysitting. Because our society could afford it. In America, people think social democracy is some kind of communism. They think capitalism is freedom. It’s not. It’s only freedom to exploit people.

I don’t think unrealized gains should be taxed.

However, getting a loan against unrealized gains should count as a realization of those gains. Borrow $10 million against the $1 billion company you founded? Great job! That is $10 million you earned and should be taxed on

It has to be said - again and out loud - that it’s Republicans in Congress who’ve unshackled him.

Superb & eviscerating take on the situation at CBS by John Oliver and @lastweektonight.com. As I’ve noted, the new billionaire owners create a mirrortocracy, pretend it’s a meritocracy & hire a mediocrity to get there. But it is not about innovating & supporting journalism.

Once American democracy made it possible for a Black man to be elected president, American conservatives decided that it had to be destroyed

I give shit to Jeffries (and Schumer) when they suck, so it’s also important to recognize when they’re doing it right.

This is doing it right. More of this, indeed. *Everyone* involved in the corruption of this administration MUST face consequences for their actions.

This is the lesson of 2025

Come and get me.

Despotism is un-American and unaffordable.

"That's why I shut down the House and sent all our members home to their districts for three weeks. See? Nothing to hide!"

Sounds like Republicans ought to get all the Republicans who form the Republican majorities in the Republican-led House and the Republican-led Senate together to pass the budget that Republicans wrote with the Republican White House and that Republicans now insist absolutely must be passed.

The government should not reopen until Trump agrees to stop trying to deploy troops to American cities

You could fund propublica 2 3 and 4 for what she normally pulls to get beat by thirty points

One thing that comes through awfully clearly in these ICE videos is how many of these goons gravitated toward the job because being able to assault people with impunity is a big thrill for them.
