The message is that it’s time for a literal generational shift. I don’t want to be governed by a bunch of people who are too old to understand how the world is changing and where it’s going. It’s time to pass the baton to a new generation.

In a 1 on 1 debate she’d probably tie for 5th again.

We feed you.
They hunt us.

The richest man in the world and the president using their own media platforms they bought to flame each other like teenagers except they’re also directing billions of dollars as a result is so dystopian.

I’m going to sign an executive order that says I get a free house and a Lamborghini

I think there’s a lot of harm that’s already been done. The world is realizing the US has a ton of power and also won’t stop morons from wielding it like a toddler with a grenade. I think the economic balance of the world is going to shift significantly no matter what.

“What if Elon were funny?” Is going to be one of those history questions like “What if Hitler could paint?” or “What if British food had flavor?”

Gutted for her. Hope she recovers well.

The jobs of the future like… manufacturing? The jobs we had during the Industrial Revolution?

Hey, if your primary source of income is vertical videos of yourself, I probably don’t give a fuck about your opinions on free trade. Stop crowding out actual economists.

Yeah according to their stupid formula, you should be putting a tariff on us but what can I say, they’re morons.

We don’t have a deficit with Vietnam because they’re ripping us off. We have a deficit with Vietnam because we have 3x their population and 60x their GDP.

Have a conversation with him and say “Hey, we don’t want to associate us with violence. Could you not do that anymore?” An “investigation” just looks performative.

Yes, American-made… water.

YouTube video by Jemele Hill Why Did The Department of Defense Delete Jackie Robinson's Story? | Spolitics

On this week’s episode of SPOLITICS, I address the Department of Defense egregiously erasing Jackie Robinson’s military history from its website and why it reminded of some words by the late Toni Morrison youtu.be/Qm30Rrb3YQo?...

19-20 months from now, Trump will have pushed the economy off a cliff and left the civil service a smouldering husk. If you're a Democratic elected and you think a government shutdown from a CR fight is gonna be the thing voters remember, you need your fucking head examined.

My adolescence and young adulthood was spent suffering from the greed and shortsightedness of capitalists and warlords, and the rest of my life will be spent paying back the world in the second Treaty of Versailles because of these evil fuckers.

Were you in the same casket? Who was big spoon? These are important questions.

Medicaid fraud, waste, and abuse adds up to like 0.015% of the budget.

Then imagine what it must be like for someone to put up a picture of your abuser and say “We need this person in the senate” and then see dozens of people talk about what they did and how it wasn’t that bad.

As the Trump administration is firing thousands of NIH workers — including 10% of the CDC team, the measles outbreak in Gaines County, Texas has suddenly doubled to at least 48 cases. The outbreak has grown from 24 to 48 cases within the last three days.

All cases are in unvaccinated people or…

This guy framed his own mugshot.

Hey, this just isn’t remotely true. I remember this happening: the facts weren’t in dispute, he did what he was accused of, and the ethics hearing and report would be a giant spectacle. People like you are why victims don’t come forward.

It was a series of stupid things. But out of that we got Tina Smith, who’s been a fantastic senator! Peggy Flanagan is running who’s very qualified, and has never been accused of sexual misconduct. Angie Craig might run. We have so many great options. Why do you insist on the old millionaire?!

Dems lose because we keep old out of touch, sometimes out of mind (see Feinstein) candidates rather than passing the torch to younger (not even young, like in their 40s) candidates who will actually love to see the effects of the legislation they’re passing.

Your point was you’d rather have a rich man 18 years past forced retirement for cognitively demanding jobs, who resigned in disgrace in the senate than a person with a disability? Ableist trash stands.

Being deaf and blind are disabilities and don’t make you less capable of being an advocate. Government has been dominated by boomers my entire life and they’ve driven this country into the fucking ditch. Your turn is over. Sit down. Also fuck your ableist trash.

I’m about to blow your mind with something. I can say that Donald Trump is ALSO bad. I’m tired of the gerontocracy. Give me Peggy Flanagan.

I don’t know how old you are, but I know Al Franken is 73 and I’m tired of being ruled by people who should have retired a decade ago.
