What delusional fantasy world does this woman inhabit? Literally nothing in America works anywhere. But the examples set by red states are the worst. The lowest levels of education, the lowest incomes, the worst healthcare outcomes.

Never Trump Republicans coming to the "OMG, the legacy media is completely compromised! Why aren't Liberal billionaires funding independent media (like us)?!?!" conclusion 25 years too late is fucking hilarious.

Iโ€™m thinking about my colleague whose premiums are going to be 2500/month. Sheโ€™s 2 1/2 years away from Medicare. There should be a provision for her to buy in right now. And screw the ghost of Joe Lieberman.

Recent political history has shown that you need to keep an eye on the antics of your "allies" at least as diligently as you monitor the atrocities of the Trump regime.

If any "centrist" or "moderate Democrat" says Trump isn't a racist or simply appeals to "economic anxiety," I think we can safely ignore them forever and tell them to move aside as the rest of us move forward.

Is this politics done "the right way," @ezraklein.bsky.social?

Imagine a media ecosystem in which, instead of spending millions relentlessly promoting The Bulwark and The Lincoln Project, the legacy media had spent just a fraction of that lifting up Liberal voices who had actually been right all along.
