When I asked veteran strategist David Axelrod whether Democrats were “walking into a trap” on defending foreign aid, he literally finished my sentence. “My heart is with the people out on the street outside USAID, but my head tells me: ‘Man, Trump will be well satisfied to have this fight,’” he said. “When you talk about cuts, the first thing people say is: Cut foreign aid.” Rahm Emanuel — the former House leader, Chicago mayor and diplomat — told me much the same: “You don’t fight every fight. You don’t swing at every pitch. And my view is — while I care about the USAID as a former ambassador — that’s not the hill I’m going to die on,” he said.

Very serious Democratic strategists advise the party to allow Trump to illegally dismantle USAID -- a decision that will result in the unnecessary deaths of people around the world.

Schumer's time at treasury today was the most enervating 20 seconds I have experienced in nearly forty years of life. It needs to be seen to be believed. He tried to start a "we will win!" chant and got dead air, then got chased off the podium by a spontaneous SHUT DOWN THE SENATE chant in the crowd

I'm wondering how trump is getting away with all this shit and the only logical explanation is that he has executed the parliamentarian

$190M in proposed cuts to pediatric cancer research because the richest man in the world wants more defense contracts. And the “populists” caved to him.

Lots of clarity today

...or 'orange coronary' becomes a new hip catchphrase. 😃

The publication with 15 columnists who all share the same 3 takes every week are very concerned that this place might be an echo chamber

I'm sure nothing could possibly go wrong with this innovative idea... bravo!

Looking forward to the Fallout when RFK Jr. tries to ban diet coke.

It’s wild how quickly major media outlets are sane-washing utterly insane Cabinet nominations.

I think the crystals are out of alignment... might need a checkup.

The Democratic version of this would be swaying awkwardly in place while quietly mumbling the lyrics to "Imagine," and it would work exactly as well as you think it would, also, I apologize for putting that image into your head

Alex Jones for Press Secretary? Seems to fit the pattern / downward spiral.

Very cool

Same... welcome!

So the winner of the Jake Paul vs. Mike Tyson fight gets a cabinet position? That's how this works now, right?

There's a reason democracies don't let people who tried coups back into power.

Just joined today, but so far, it's definitely less buggy and chaotic than what's left of the tweeter. 👍
