He LOST.

YOU win.

(You knew he wanted YOU to pay his lawyers and his legal bills, right?)

Remember: The recipe for economic growth isn’t tax cuts for the rich. It’s investment in our people — in health care, infrastructure and education — to build a strong middle class. 

You don't grow the economy through trickle-down nonsense.

The astonishing thing about Watergate, in contrast to today, is how the President was actually shamed into leaving office.

Imagine that: shame.

School vouchers are a scam to send taxpayer money to private religious schools. Vouchers are also a violation of church and state.

When do they just cut straight to Arbeit Macht Frei?

A little math about that prison camp in Florida. $450 million per year for 3,000 people is $150,000/person per year. The cost for one person receiving SNAP for one year is $2256, yet they're telling us that's too expensive. threads.com/@unapologeticallyzae

One more effort to politicize federal grantmaking.
*Grants must by approved by a political appointee, working with OMB.
*"Discretionary awards must, where applicable, demonstrably advance the President’s policy priorities."
*Cannot "promote anti-American values"

Heinous.

Americans are relearning the lesson we learned during the Gilded Age of the late 1890s, when robber barons ran the government and the economy for their own benefit: Oligarchy is incompatible with the common good.

I'm hopeful we'll respond with a new progressive movement.

Raskin: "What we have is the Trump Justice Department organizing itself not around the interests of the survivors -- the people who were victimized by Maxwell and Epstein -- but rather organizing itself around protecting the perpetrators."

Maybe it isn't ideal to have a crazy lawyer with no medical background who obviously doesn't look after his own health in charge of looking after ours.

Living a moral life in an age of bullies requires collective action; it cannot be done alone. Each of us must organize and participate in a vast network of moral resistance. From this solidarity we will grow stronger. This is what our current moment requires.

it's crazy that i wake up every day and think "i can't possibly have anything else to say on twitter" and then the US Department of Defense will be like "Our Secretary of Defense has great jeans ☺️"

Berman: Was the President right about the polling?

Enten: No. If we are comparing him to other presidents at this point in their presidencies, he is the second lowest on record compared only to himself.

It ain't going away, no it ain't going away....

I’m Not panicking. I’m Outraged. Read more here.

I have been the subject of many spurious accusations and politically motivated attacks, but this one is in a class by itself.

🚨 Concord, NH, handled their business yesterday, running white nationalist out of town. 👏🏼 The right side of history, my friends. 👏🏼

Anyway, when all of this started, I kept saying that you have to always look at these new technologies through the contempt that the tech world has for labor, and their campaign to destroy anything they can get their hands on for a bit more money. Human deskilling, not flourishing, is their goal.

I don’t want a left Stephen Miller, I want strong civic institutions and healthy media environment to say “what the fuck” to any right or left psychopath.

The White House landscape now matches our national political one.

Weakest 3 months of job growth since 2020.

One by one, he watched them start new lives elsewhere. Many of them went to the U.S. At the time, America was the most compelling destination for scientific talent in the world. It would remain so until earlier this year.

An incredibly depressing sentence.
