Dr.B

Perfect example of political media operating under the post-truth standard that (1) distorts the facts until the parties look approximately equal, and (2) holds “do MAGA voters care?” as a higher standard than “is it true?” or “is it important for the public to know about this?”

I just walked out of federal court where I pleaded NOT GUILTY to the charges against me.

I will continue to stand up to authoritarianism and call this out for what it is: a political prosecution.

When a pedophile looks down on you...

What sick dogshit place are we living in where "child sex trafficking and pedophilia" is an "issue" and not a "put everyone in jail and throw away the whole jail" situation

Prices since Trump took office:

-Groceries: ⬆️ 2.7%
-Utilities: ⬆️ 11%
-ACA premiums: ⬆️ 26%
-Overall consumer prices: ⬆️ 3%

Trump: “I don't want to hear about the affordability.”

Arizona AG Kris Mayes: "Our founding fathers placed the power to tax Americans in Congress. They did not believe that we should have a president or king who had the power to tax and to levy these kinds of tariffs that are having a devastating impact on our states."

Really looking forward to the Speaker of the House claiming to be unaware of the election results.

If anyone needed another reminder of how deeply unpopular the Trump-MAGA Republican agenda is, tonight was the night.

But we cannot relent and we cannot become complacent.

The midterms are right around the corner.

I thought Donald Trump promised to lower costs "on day one"?

I have been charged in a federal indictment sought by the Department of Justice.

This political prosecution is an attack on all of our First Amendment rights. I’m not backing down, and we’re going to win.

Today, the White House Press Secretary told the country that this ridiculous damn ballroom is “the president’s main priority”…not reopening the government, not lowering the cost of groceries, not lowering the cost of housing, not lowering the cost of healthcare….building a ballroom

Priorities.

Today, Mike Johnson will keep the House adjourned for the 81st day out of the last 93.

12 days of work in over 3 months.

With full pay and benefits.

The senate has been working, so this is not about the shutdown.

It is about avoiding a vote to release the Epstein files.

You know it’s bad when this is like the 4th or 5th worst Republican scandal of the day.

Millionaire Tax That Inspired Mamdani Fuels $5.7 Billion Haul in Massachusetts A millionaire levy in Massachusetts that New York City mayoral frontrunner Zohran Mamdani holds up as a model for taxing the rich has generated $3 billion more in revenue than expected without forcing...

WELL HOW ABOUT THAT

"A millionaire levy in Massachusetts has generated $3 billion more in revenue than expected without forcing significant high-profile departures from the state."

I am completely awestruck by the ease with which Mike Johnson lies on a daily basis. I'll never understand how such a transparently fraudulent "man of faith" can live with themselves. Life is too short to be that phony.

I’m old enough to remember when we had a system of checks & balances that involved Congress, when Congress controlled the purse and legislated, and the president respected the Constitution & rule of law. I’m old enough to remember when a U.S. president wouldn’t want to be King George or a dictator.

Reminder that any political party trying to make it harder to vote is sending a clear message: they can't win on their ideas alone.

AOC: You're damn right that it's a Democratic priority to keep people from getting poisoned, from dangerous chemicals 

You're damn right that it's a Democratic priority to bring down the cost of housing


If they want to say that that's a Democratic priority, they're right,

Imagine lying as easily as @RepTimBurchett does. Nobody is paying the millions of people who will be out there.

Wanting better for your country isn’t hating it, Tim. Quite the opposite. It’s real patriotism. 🇺🇸

Throwing out the constitution to cling to power is the real hating your country.

REPORTER: Do you support repealing Obamacare and what's your healthcare plan?

MIKE JOHNSON: We worked on repealing and replacing Obamacare back in 2017. I still have PTSD from the experience. We know that American healthcare needs dramatic reform. We have lots of ideas.

(So, no plan)

Today, House Republicans will take their 70th day off with pay in the last 82 days.

The 400 richest Americans are now worth a record $6.6 trillion.

The entire bottom 50% of America is worth just $4.2 trillion.

Read that back.

When 400 people control more wealth than half a country’s population, we have a very serious problem.

The Treasury Secretary declares himself to be pro-monarchy, and promises to punish the entire country if the people exercise their First Amendment rights.
