A reminder that we don't lack national health in this country because it would cost too much. It would actually save tons of money. We lack it because it would not enrich businesses and their executives like the current system does. bsky.app/profile/jent...

Your utility bill went up because Trump and Republicans have sabotaged the clean energy industry. They’ve made it harder to build clean energy infrastructure, even though it’s cheaper for consumers…leaving you and our planet paying the price.

We miss having a thoughtful, intelligent president who makes appropriate comments and understands the weight of his words and the importance of the office when it comes to leading his country by example. Don’t forget to subscribe: www.dworkinsubstack.com/subscribe

Two babies were born in New York within a year of each other, soon after WWII. One, Rob Reiner, lived a life of humanity and achievement. He brought us delight and joy. His memory will be a blessing. The other, Donald Trump, will be remembered as an embarrassment to our nation.

The press lost its shit for weeks at the mere thought of referring to Trump and his political movement as "fascist." Republicans meanwhile use every -ist epithet they can muster against Democrats of any stripe and the press doesn't say a word.

The red states are the “taker” states.
A tweet from Micah (@micah_erfan) reads:
“62% of US GDP comes from blue counties.”
Below is a chart from Brookings Metro showing a red and blue treemap. The left (blue) section represents Democratic counties such as Los Angeles, New York City, Cook County, and Santa Clara, while the right (red) section represents Republican counties with smaller blocks. Underneath, Kevin Smith (@kevin_smith45) comments:
“Remember everyone. Republicans vote late because they are the only ones working.”

I absolutely do NOT agree with Bolton’s politics but I can STILL say it’s completely corrupt to send the FBI to raid the home of a political opponent or detractor. Everyone needs to be saying it. Trump is pushing us closer and closer toward authoritarianism. We ALL need to push back.

I had some questions for my Republican colleagues today. We have a record-breaking number of measles cases in America. Where is our public hearing on this crisis? RFK Jr. fired the entire CDC vaccine advisory panel and replaced them with unvetted vaccine skeptics. Will Republicans call a hearing?

A bunch of Trump’s most influential advisors are advocating for the US to leave NATO and the UN. Short-sighted, reactionary morons. You should really ask yourselves why anyone that has the US interests at heart would want us to leave the most powerful alliance in history.

Obama and Biden may think they are honoring the office of the presidency by keeping quiet at a moment like this — if so that’s just preening vanity — they owe it to the office and to the Republic that until last month it served to speak up loudly and clearly and without relent.

He's not a "kid." He's an adult, with an important govt job. The posts weren't "stupid." They were hatefully racist. His life isn't "ruined." He lost a job. Holding a govt employee accountable is not a "reward" for a journalist. The reporter doesn't get a cookie.

Compared with any other major country, the United States has been extremely fortunate in its two immediate neighbors, Canada and Mexico. Now, incredibly, it is declaring economic war on both of them. This is a war no one can win, and from which tens of millions will lose. This is insanity.

Democratic lawmakers need to understand something: Imagine your house is on fire. Fire truck shows up. Firefighters get out. They look at the fire, then at you, and say: "Such a fire is a grave threat. This house will not sustain." And just stand there. This is how many of you are coming across.

Dan Rather is a treasure.
Photo of Dan Rather with quote beside him that reads, “A few people have asked why I vehemently oppose Trump. Let me make this perfectly clear. It’s not about politics. I’ve voted for both parties. It’s about me, as a patriot, rejecting a cheating, lying, racist, treasonous, fascist, and vile man who attacks the free press, and wants to lead the country I love. It’s really that simple.”
