Mike Johnson just threatened to potentially extort California by adding “conditions” to wildfire disaster relief aid. He said Republicans might attach unrelated things to the funding, like Trump’s demand to raise the debt ceiling.

Johnson confirms 'discussions' on tying wildfire aid to debt limit
Speaker Mike Johnson told reporters one option on the table is making a new tranche of disaster relief funding for the California wildfires conditional on agreeing to raise the debt ceiling.

Just realized we can save America if we all pretend Elon Musk is cool and funny. It’s like the peoples of Middle Earth quietly agreeing to lie to Sauron that his ska band rips so he’ll call off the orcs.

MAGA voters - especially those who are rural whites, middle class, and low income - depend on USPS for medication. Small businesses depend on it for work. So when Trump privatizes it, raises the prices so his billionaires can make money, how are they going to afford to use it? Whoopsie!

After I got my doctorate in health admin, I could have taken a cushy job atop a corporate health firm & gotten rich off denying claims, but instead, I chose a low-paying civil service job to help care for Veterans & the Military. So don't give me that "he was only doing his job" crap.

“Don’t feed the trolls” also extends to bad opinion pieces in papers of record. They run them bc people react to them the most. If we stop linking to bad columns and instead post thinkers we find valuable (& generate convo around it), incentives change. It’s not easy and takes constant practice!

So a reminder: It’s not ‘liberals’ saying Hegseth abuses women. It’s his mom. It’s not ‘liberals’ comparing Trump to Hitler. It’s his vice-president. It’s not ‘liberals’ calling Musk a liar and a racist. It’s his own child. For the record.

One thing I find interesting about the echo chamber complaint is that an echo chamber just won a presidential election. Put aside the convo of whether it’s “good” or “bad” for a moment. The far right has devoted enormous resources + time to building echo chambers & loathes spaces they don’t control

It's going to be interesting to see how @bluesky evolves it's moderation. How much will be driven by the community, who it upsets and how final decisions are made. One thing I believe. The world doesn't need another algorithmically inflamed, individually moderated, free speech platform

AOC: One I saw widely circulated is that FEMA did not have enough money to provide relief services because those funds went to either undocumented immigrants, aid to Ukraine.. Is that correct that FEMA’s funds were allocated away to those causes? Criswell: Completely inaccurate

Crockett: 19 of the 26 Republicans on this committee voted against keeping FEMA funded and 9 are in states that were directly hit. I don’t understand why we pretend that we have all these issues with this agency when you don’t want to fund it.

That the GOP go-to tactic to make a name for themselves has become attacking innocent people shows what an ideological cancer and moral bankruptcy lies at the heart of the party. A true sign of no vision for leadership.
