I mean it's been the GOP's explicit position since the pandemic that people should work right into their graves

It's really cool and good how we've built a system where one of the political parties go on national TV and lie every day and there are just 0 consequences for it
The Tennessee HollerHe’s so close to getting it
By 2028 the median voter will have memory holed this to be during the Biden presidency
Robert ReichUnder Trump: -Household electricity costs are up 18% -Ground beef prices are up 22% -Gas prices are up 40% -ACA out-of-pocket premiums are up 58% -Inflation is at a three-year high Tired of "winning" yet?
Now let's see what the Senate Parliamentarian has to say about this...
Democracy DocketBREAKING: The House voted 216-214 to pass a budget reconciliation bill that includes $10 billion worth of election-related grants for coaxing states into adopting anti-voting measures like those in the SAVE America Act. The vote takes Trump closer to enacting his anti-democratic pet proposal.
Being a low-info voter doesn't mean being ignorant of arcane policy details but not remembering who was president in 2020

Speechwriter: Mr. President, what points do you want me to emphasize for your primetime address? P: Oh I don't know...I think I'll just vamp for 20 min or so... S: But Mr. Pr- P: You know I've been working on my tight 5 stand-up routine. You know they're saying improv is really making a comeback
mrspanstrepponGet a load of this. Trump's prime time speech tomorrow will be a "potpourri" of stuff he feels like talking about & he intends to do more prime time speeches going forward. This morning's Axios newsletter:
It just really tickles me that most conservative of Catholics just consistently forget Papal Infallibility

See this is easy to identify as satire. If it were real the government would be paying Palantir to take over the management of the building.

These guys should not be using politics to engage in their public humiliation fetish
Axios"There's going to be a war": Centrist House Democrats plot Mamdani Caucus counterattack
Lol. Centrist Dems just keep posting Ls. Being Republican Lite is a losing strategy.
The Washington PostThirteen Democratic House members and candidates announced their support for a centrist initiative aimed at pushing back against the party’s tilt toward democratic socialism.
Being "owed" a seat just doesn't really seem to mesh with democracy as a concept. What makes one deserving other than winning an election?
TanielA lot of discourse since Tuesday hinges on idea that some politicians are owed a seat, it’s their turn & it’s problematic to not back them. & that’s so odd to me — because not only you have to wait for 88-year olds to deign to retire, but then there’s someone else waiting who’s owed & you can’t run?
Tbh shouldn't the framing be Trump cares more about a racist voter discrimination bill than housing?
Elizabeth WarrenYesterday, Donald Trump was supposed to sign a huge bipartisan bill to bring down housing costs. But he didn't. Why not? Donald Trump doesn't care about the cost squeeze on American families. Mr. President: Sign the bill.
I mean pretty telling for where we are that the progressive wing is looking to party strategy/platform from ~100 years ago
The Tennessee Holler“It’s wise to listen to voters - this is a vision for our party more like we used to see in the days of FDR, as opposed to only responsive to Trump.” @zohrankmamdani.bsky.social tells @chrislhayes communities of color helped elect the progressives, with an FDR-like platform voters want.
If Dems know what they're doing they'll make sure people associate the Republican Party with corruption for at least a generation
The Tennessee HollerAgain: Trump gave a no-bid contract for the Reflecting Pool to a corrupt neighbor donor with a history of bribery whose company is literally called GREENWATER Services How is this real life
The level of anti-intellectualism here is kind of wild. Like I was taught that part of reading is expanding your vocabulary.
Benjanun Sriduangkaew @ Persephone Effect out nowI don't think 'scrying' is a hard word.
These guys are all just doing variations of Reagan's "I know in my heart I didn't do crimes" schtick

In the capitalist system you do not attain wealth by helping humankind. You do so by exploiting it.
Mr. ManguNot a scientist with a breakthrough in medicine or the environment to help humankind. Not an engineer with a breakthrough technology that helps humankind. No... the first ever trillionaire is this useless conman. SMFH.
