If you want to put back statues and memorials and names of Confederate traitors while tearing down museum exhibitions on slavery because they don't show the greatness of the nation... the nation whose history you're celebrating is whiteness. The kind of nationalist you are is a white nationalist.

Pedophilia is wrong.
Racism is wrong.
Letting people starve is wrong.
Denying care to the sick is wrong.
Stripping away rights is wrong.
Stealing is wrong.
Sexual assault is wrong.
Bribery is wrong.

These aren't partisan issues. They're moral ones.

Welker to Lindsey Graham as he pushes baseless conspiracy theories in an effort to gin up a scandal about Obama: "Are you trying to rewrite history to distract from the Epstein matter, senator?"

Call me old-fashioned but I think the optics are kinda bad on Pam Bondi saying the Epstein file is on her desk and then saying the Epstein file doesn’t exist and then firing her own ethics chief

I'd just like to point out how weird it is that places with hundreds or even thousands of reporters β€” the NYT, WaPo, CBS, NBC, AP, etc. β€” are all getting pummeled on every major story by the dozen computerboys at Wired. To fumble the bag this consistently is, at some point, cowardice and a choice.

In case you missed it last week, Donald Trump and Republicans in Congress made the biggest cuts to Medicaid in history to fund tax breaks for billionaires.

I think it would be helpful when republicans (including president dipshit) drag out the β€œwaste fraud and abuse” cliche to dig down and ask what they actually mean by that and how much they think there is exactly

AOC: "On this point of tax on tips, as one of the only people in this body who has lived off of tips, I want to tell you a little bit about the scam ... the cap on that is $25,000 while you're jacking up taxes on people who make less than $50,000 across the US ... while kicking them off the ACA."

Wikipedia definition of "idiot plot": In literary criticism, an idiot plot is one which is "kept in motion solely by virtue of the fact that everybody involved is an idiot",[1]:β€Š26β€Š and where the story would quickly end, or possibly not even happen, if this were not the case.

Goldman: "The idea of focusing on President Biden is a way of distracting from Donald Trump's efforts to completely undermine our democracy, to grift and engage in corruption, and to help out his billionaire buddies by cutting their taxes while taking Medicaid away from the American people."
