What is also interesting is that MAGA loved it for the wrong reasons. I’ve been wondering if people watched Star Wars, Sound of Music, etc and identified with the bad guys all along. I always thought it was pretty damn clear who the good people were. Including All in the Family.

It’s interesting. I loved that show as a kid and credit it with some of my liberal views cuz it showed what an ass Archie was and I liked Gloria and meathead.

Nothing will prevent them from re-firing feds. They are going to do what they want and there is no reason to expect a vote on ACA. They are Lucy and we, the Dems, are Charlie Brown.

Murphy should be minority leader.

The dumbest president in history strikes again

I’m a former fed and I would be willing to risk jail to leak the files if I were still there.

Brain activity lower when using AI chatbots: MIT research : EEG and recall tests suggest people who use ChatGPT to write essays aren't learning much

Regular AI use by people will quite literally make them dumber over time. I’m not going to be joining the hype. I prefer my brain to be well-exercised.

Great thread about the reasons so many of us are not using AI. There is nothing intelligent about AI and we have so much to lose by using it.

The fact that we aren’t all out in the streets worldwide about Trump refusing to feed 42 million Americans. Starving his own people, is wild to me.

That makes absolutely no fucking sense.

Hey ThePatrioticBlonde - he doesn’t care if you see him because he doesn’t care about his supporters any more than he cares about the rest of us. If you are really angry, contact your congressional reps and do something to make up for falling for his con game. And learn from this major mistake.

I’m glad to learn about this but what the heck Politico - this is not an overhaul of the federal government, it is a demolition and politicization of the federal government. Very different things. I know Politico is on the side of collaborating but still need to point it out.

Amen to this! A thousand times this!

He is even well beyond lying. He is just spewing nonsense non-stop. Why do people let him keep speaking? The world can see this and he makes us more of a laughing stock and political pawn for other dictators every day.

Let us know if you come up with something….

Populist Dems won. Moderate Dems won. We won in blue states. We won in purple states.

Maybe the take is that (a) people think Trump is out of control; and (b) people like Dems when we're taking a stand and fighting for what we believe in - as we have been for the last month.

Great night for democrats. And while I don’t watch MSNBC much anymore, it is so refreshing not to have Kornacki there anymore. Ali Velshi is much better!

A democratic sweep was the perfect way to honor Dick Cheney's death. Well done, everyone. See you tomorrow.

😂😂🤣😂

Tonight is a wake-up call for Business & Media & Political Elite that have chosen collaboration against US because they are short-sighted cowards who think that collaboration will protect their wealth & power: Real Americans are not MAGA, they are not enjoying high prices, no safety net, and terror.

Looks like the Dems will pick up 12 seats in the VA House of Delegates, which will go from 51-49 to 63-37 D-R. That's an honestly shocking result.

This thread is very entertaining, at least in this twilight zone we are living in.

it's time for journos to start asking Johnson meta questions

"Speaker, on 5 occasions last week you said 'I haven't seen it' when asked about news events w/big implications for public policy. Do you ever read the news, and do you agree it's problematic for the Speaker to be so woefully uninformed?"

I continue to wonder when Americans will decide enough is enough. As Frederick Douglass reminds us:

“The limits of tyrants are prescribed by the endurance of those whom they oppress.”

My predictions for Tuesday's elections is a clean sweep for Democrats and democracy:

NJ: Sherrill wins.
VA: Spanberger wins.
NYC: Mamdani wins.
CA: Prop 50 passes.
ME: Q1 fails.
PA: SCOPA Justices are retained.

The Journalist Who Spent More Than 100 Days in ICE Detention | American Civil Liberties Union Emmy Award-winning journalist Mario Guevara was covering a protest near Atlanta when local law enforcement arrested him. Then, ICE detained him.

This should alarm everyone.

Emmy Award-winning journalist Guevara was covering a protest near Atlanta when ICE arrested and detained him.

For more than 100 days, they refused his release, citing his reporting as dangerous.

After more than 20 years in the US, he was deported to El Salvador.
