And my personal favorite:

It’s ‘set foot,’ not ‘step foot.’

Parking that in a bike lane is almost too on message to be true.

Moonman/Majohn A1. I have one in matte black that writes very nicely.

ok but that one trans kid is still banned from playing jv tennis with their friends right?

a man with a beard says that 's a name i ve not heard in a long time Alt: Obi Wan Kenobi says that’s a name i’ve not heard in a long time

Mark Penn?

Question for Mike Flood: With $450 million being allocated to Alligator Alcatraz, and ICE burning through $8.4 million a day to illegally detain people—How much does it cost for fascism? How much do the tax payers have to pay for a fascist country?

popular anti-fascism as taxpayer revolt...might have some legs

"80 million jobs were added in june, very nice very nice. 300 million jobs added in july, even better. but this month mr president, 2 billion jobs were added," I confidently declare, doing the easiest job in the world so i can own a home in a walkable neighborhood

Kill your darlings

Firing the BLS Commissioner — the wonk in charge of the statisticians who track economic reality — is an authoritarian four alarm fire.

It will also backfire: You can't bend economic reality, but you can break the trust of markets. And biased data yields worse policy.

Wow, I’d honestly never heard of this person and will now go back to pretending she doesn’t exist. You’d think having your writings favorably cited by a mass murderer might give you pause, but she just keeps on with garbage takes on basically everything.

This only adds one job to the report, dummy. Won’t even move the needle!

Except what now? Now that Trump is firing the head of BLS, are they going to still be straight shooters?

The very clear message is that the BLS head will be fired if they do not produce numbers that meet Trump's approval.

In related news, these are the last set of BLS job numbers we can assume have not been doctored.

Firing the BLS Commissioner because you don't like the data is a dark day.

Donald Trump took away your Medicaid to build himself a gilded party room two acres in size.

So now, the Trump administration’s primary effort — at which they’re throwing vast federal resources and manpower — to turn the page on the Epstein debacle is to collectively promote a far-right conspiracy theory about how a secret cabal of Trump-loathing deep state subversives and liberal villains…

Yes! Of course, when he says “they’re not sending their best people” he’s imagining people being released from institutions so they can come to the US. What a simple and stupid person.

for many of the worst people in our politics, the only real belief they have is that it should be illegal for us not to like them

“The president cut your health care so he could build himself a golden ballroom” is a pretty easy message to sell

I remain convinced that Trump thinks “trade deficits” and “budget deficits” are the same thing — both are deficits, right? So, if he can fix the trade deficits he solves the budget deficit somehow.

Bill Burr Says ‘CNN and Fox News Are a F—ing Disease,’ Fires Back at ‘Horrible’ Conservatives Bashing Him as ‘Woke’: ‘They’re Racists’ and ‘Cowards’ Bill Burr says the conservatives calling him "woke" are "racists" and "cowards."

You don't need a Joe Rogan for the left. What we all need to do is take Bill Burr's lead. Every time a Republican goes after him, he doesn't debate him. He just insults them and tells them to go fuck themselves. We don't need one person to do this. We should all just do this.

Interesting. So, when measuring accomplishments, he always pulls the number six out of his ass. We’ve already established that he uses two weeks as a measure of time when something might happen. It appears his brain can only operate on specifically fixed metrics.

Yet another Collins No vote that means absolutely nothing. Pretends to be independent, but only if her vote doesn’t change the outcome.

Units? I tried using my height in angstroms and my weight in long tons, so I’m getting a negative number. That means I need to eat more I think.

It’s also come from centrist Democrats who were convinced that they can impress Republicans enough by being just tough enough on immigration that they can get significant reforms. Hopefully that idiocy has died.

What? Substack promoted a Nazi newsletter? Who could have predicted that? 😒

It’s the noxious consultants (the same ones who ruined the 2024 Presidential campaign) telling him that he needs to throw trans kids under the boss if he wants to be President. Imagine getting paid millions to give lousy advice.

OK. I'm going to do the thread about trans girls playing sports:

Literally every "legitimate" concern you might have has a remedy in normal sports rules.

Pete Buttigieg weighs in on ‘fairness’ of transgender kids playing girls’ sports He said he rejected blanket policies about trans participation in sports.

Buttigieg said parents have legitimate concerns.

To be clear: If you cannot be relied on to unequivocally defend transgender kids, you can’t be relied on to defend anyone or anything.
