It’s a terrible bill. It will literally kill people. The most vulnerable among us will suffer as the wealthiest benefit. It’s perverse. I wish there were something I could do. But alas, I am only a U.S. Senator from Alaska whose β€œno” vote would kill the bill. So I voted yes. You get it.

"Good Vibrations" is so marvelously complex ... at a time when songs were A-B-A-B, or A-B-A-B-C-B if lucky, this gem of a pop song has 5 distinct sections.

Truly one of the greats. Rest easy.

Ummm. All of those β€œ::shrug:: I vote with my pocketbook” voters. What say y’all now? It’s a serious question.

Also, not everyone (myself included) has liquid capital Lyon around to buy at cheaper prices. The most I can do is move money around out of assets that have fallen into assets that have fallen … more?

All I’m saying is that President Harris wouldn’t have us looking at the futures market on a Sunday night.

Boyle: It’s pretty striking that literally all Donald Trump had to do was nothing. He could sit there, watch Fox News all day, sit with the remote control, occasionally tweet, and then on weekends go down to Mar-a-Lago and play golf. But instead, he purposely went about ruining this economy.

My retirement fund has lost 1/5 of its value (and falling) since inauguration. I’m at the age where I have time to build it back but my resulting anger may take years off my life. This is all so senseless and moronic.

Such a disappointment. Here I thought he was going to be a major future player in the party.

Prices are soaring, your 401k is in the tank, Social Security phone lines are hours long.

Instead of addressing any of that – this administration is picking a fight with Denmark.

begging democrats to make this more than a one-day story. remember hillary's emails? you have agency here to shape press coverage of this grotesque and likely illegal level of incompetency.

Maybe you should (politely) scream this at people. Make them think about your actual perspective.

I really can’t get over that all this, the threatening to invade Canada, the torturing of that German guy with a green card, the soon to happen deaths of millions of people from the dismantling of USAID, is a response to the absolute dipshit question β€œhas wokeness gone too far?”

one thing i keep thinking about is how there is simply no way to design a constitutional system that can resist authoritarian incursion if participants in that system do not actually care that much

Perhaps the most depressing part about the last couple of months is that every awful shitty thing that’s happening to this country is self-induced. People asked for this. None of it had to happen.
