BASH: There's no question that Maduro was a destabilizing force in the region. People are celebrating in the streets all over. Is it fair to say there's some benefit in him not being in power?

CHRIS MURPHY: What changes? You just heard Sen. Cotton not be able to explain who's running the country

I just want to say for the record that when the history books are written centuries from now, I believe the election of Donald Trump in a free and fair election in 2024 will go down as one of the most senseless and self-destructive own goals in human history

Take note of all these people turning out for protests in small towns in red states.

Remember them the next time you’re inclined to write an area off because “they voted for this.”

There were frequent anti-trans, anti-Harris attacks on TV (many during sporting events) and on the internet during the election. The tagline was something like "Harris is for 'they/them', Donald Trump is for you."

So let me get this straight: Jack Smith investigates a guy who tried to overturn an election and incited an insurrection… and he’s the one being investigated?

We’re not a serious country. We’re a banana republic with better branding…but that’s going to shit, too.

yep. Biden kind of miraculously managed full employment and low inflation, and seemed ready to continue that indefinitely.

and basically no one cared or credited him for it.

and now we're in hell.

I really think trump doesn't even understand that he's making the jobs number worse by throwing people out of jobs.

like, his whole policy is to cut federal jobs and refuse to pay federal money to other people who are creating jobs.

Evillene from the Wiz.

President No Bad News.

Lemme just say if President Bernie Sanders had unilaterally imposed, by executive fiat, hundreds of billions of new taxes, personally browbeat executives about job cuts and investments and then fired the head of BLS, the Chamber of Commerce and the business orgs would not be sitting idly by.

This only adds one job to the report, dummy. Won’t even move the needle!

The fix is in for Ghislaine Maxwell and it couldn’t be more obvious. It’s happening right in front of our eyes.

Trump feels emboldened and untouchable now.

NBC News: Ghislaine Maxwell was ineligible to be transferred to a minimum security prison camp — like the one she was transferred to in Texas — because she is a convicted sex offender, according to the Bureau of Prison's own designation policy.

Wow

REPORTER: Why did you fire the head of the bureau of labor statistics?

TRUMP: Because I thought her numbers were wrong

In my opinion, today’s Jobs Numbers were RIGGED in order to make the Republicans, and ME, look bad — Just like when they had three great days around the 2024 Presidential Election, and then, those numbers were “taken away” on November 15, 2024, right after the Election, when the Jobs Numbers were massively revised DOWNWARD, making a correction of over 818,000 Jobs — A TOTAL SCAM. Jerome “Too Late” Powell is no better! But, the good news is, our Country is doing GREAT!

There is no covid without testing
There is no bad economy if we cook the books

Electing Trump in a free and fair election is one of the greatest own goals in human history

The BLS firing is a textbook example of how personalist authoritarianism causes policy nightmares. It's like Trump is trying to prove why liberal democratic guardrails aren't some kind of luxury, but essential for good governance

We have had stable, professional, vouchsafed information about the physical & economic world for so long that we entirely take it for granted. It's going to be truly wild to operate in a world where quite literally no one knows for sure what is happening, where there is no fact of the matter.

The US is on its way to "tractor production has risen 500%" style economic statistics

This just genuinely confuses me as someone who voted for the first time in 1992 and was well aware of how people spoke about the Clintons (esp Hillary). Republicans just openly talk like Limbaugh now but Trump didn’t make that happen.

Things are definitely worse now, but both false nostalgia for the past and the idea that Trump is the cause rather than a symptom of current politics irk me.

peek behind the curtain re frustrations w dems

- senate dems released a report showing elon wasted $21 billion
- they gave wapo a heads up on it, fine, wapo writes it up
- they dont put out any releases on it
- they dont put the report online
- the senator leading it doesnt post it on his site

The end result of this is that a bunch of cis women athletes are going to find out they're intersex.

Maxwell says she’ll testify—if Trump protects her. If this ends with her shielding Trump in return for clemency, it’ll be the most corrupt cover-up yet. And we’ll all be expected to act like it’s normal.

“I saw someone tweet the other day a picture of the sky, and it was blue .... and then 20 minutes later, there were clouds. And they said, ‘How is this possible?’ And I’m like, have people just never looked up?”

also, “so woke you have walked backwards into supporting segregation” is definitely a thing online

MTG is willing to criticize Israel in part because she's very antisemitic. (she babbled about Jewish space lasers!)

one of the many evils of what Israel is doing is that it empowers antisemites because Israel is committing the horrors that Jews have been falsely accused of in the past. 1

I’m an atheist in NC and I couldn’t care less that Cooper said he “prayed about it”. He’s a good dem politician with a real shot to win that senate seat.

Most politicians from North Carolina are going to reference their faith and if that's something you -- someone who is not from North Carolina -- do not like, you are perfectly welcome to shut the fuck up.

79 people shot in Gaza over the weekend: There is no excuse for starving people and then opening fire on civilians desperately lining up for food. None.

Congress must not give Netanyahu another penny of unconditional military aid.

You know how broken our political system is when a man who’s clearly deranged holds the highest office and the people who could remove him from that office continue to support him with gusto.
