Reluctant Evangelical

Slot needs to bench Salah.

Christmas just got a lot less commercialized.

Neguse: Only in Washington, D.C. could politicians come to the floor and brag about cutting $9 billion from rural radio stations while two weeks ago they voted to increase the deficit by $4 trillion. Spare us these lectures.

If the Democrats up and down the ballot don't run on economic populism and making government work for the working class, they are completely out of it. There is a complete convergence of the morally right message and the best political strategy.

The "I'll lower costs and get us out of endless wars" candidate is now presiding over surging costs and brand new wars.

I swear I am not making this up. Tonight Trump will go to the Kennedy Center to see “Les Miserables,” a play about a mass uprising against a tyrannical king. I hereby retire from satire.

Why are all of this administrations leaders constantly standing in the limelight as frequently as possible? My hypothesis: messaging is more important than competence to maintain power.

Just a reminder that the Los Angeles Dodgers, led by Clayton Kershaw, voluntarily attended the White House and will likely say nothing about what the administration is doing in the city.

Donald Trump is the most unpopular 100-day-mark president in modern American history.

This is greatness

Wild that she thinks they’re capable of accountability

“Oh nothing to see here” is the classic MAGA response.

Honestly pretty funny that Republicans spent four years warning that the Democratic president was a senile, checked-out vegetable who’d handed control of the government over to unelected extremists

I hate this

I hope the “do your own research people” are really active tonight

Lies, lies, lies.
So many lies.

Trump giving us a masterclass in propaganda.

hey guess what trump's numbers about social security are total horseshit www.washingtonpost.com/opinions/202...

This is actually insane.

seeing a lot of too-cool-for-it takes pointing out that the US has backed awful dictators before. it's certainly true that this country has blood on its hands, but this is another example of pundits treating trump like a literary foil instead of an actual president who is doing bad things.

Republicans Are Sweating the Economy... THEY SHOULD!!! Former White House Senior Deputy Press Secretary Andrew Bates says after years of false promises, Trump and the GOP are pushing policies that hurt the middle class—and voters are noticing.

"Once again, Republicans are proving that their defining 2024 campaign theme - fighting for hardworking people and against the wealthy establishment - was a lie all along."

A must-read piece on the crisis emerging for the GOP from @andrewbatesnc.bsky.social.

MAGA always putting America first. Selling citizenship to foreign oligarchs.

Great News For Us, Bad News For Trump Onward.

“Trumpism will not be defeated by politicians inside the D.C. Beltway,” Sanders said. “It will only be defeated by millions of Americans…in every state in this country, who come together in a strong grassroots movement and say no to oligarchy, no to authoritarianism, no to kleptocracy.”

Social Security has a payment accuracy rate of over 99 percent. Only 0.3 percent of Social Security benefits are improper payments, which are typically caused by mistakes or delays.

That's better than any private insurance company.

Trump, July 2024: We will drive prices down very fast.

Trump, August 2024: I will immediately bring prices down starting on day one.

Trump, December 2024: I won an election based on that, we’re going to bring those prices way down.

Have prices gone down? Nope.

Can’t wait for pundits on Sky to defend Oliver’s horrendous performance tonight.

Michael Oliver with an absolutely disgraceful job after the match. Why are the most controversial calls/cards involving him every month?

Maybe. Words mean something more than their definitions though. That’s why MAGA is obsessed with controlling language/names.
