Here we fucking go. Trump couldn’t get Congress to restrict mail-in voting, so he went around Congress. Now the Supreme Court is letting parts of it move forward. We have to plan for this.

When you appoint reality TV people to the most important positions of the government running massive federal agencies, don’t be surprised when they treat the job like a reality TV show starring themselves while we pay them and the expenses.

A recent survey found that 92% of U.S. adults have delayed or avoided medical care due to high costs. Meanwhile, a new study from Yale estimates that Medicare for All would save over 114,000 lives and $1 trillion a year. If this country was truly “pro-life,” we would have universal healthcare.

I think this is an accurate assessment - at least somewhere around this number. The problem isn’t rebuilding the bases, it’s force protection. Iran knows what works, now they’re reconstituting their capabilities during the lull in fighting. Emboldening them was a grave mistake

It's hard to fathom that anyone thinks ICE can be reformed or retrained. ICE needs to be dismantled and then cauterized so it can't grow back. #AbolishICE

Anyone familiar with history knows that East Germany was notoriously in favor of Western Europe. They even built a wall to prove it. Tucker is either an idiot, a Russian asset, or both. “Al Capone, on the spectrum of extemely violent mobsters, was firmly on the moderate side.”

If all income in excess of $400,000 were subject to the Social Security payroll tax, Social Security’s solvency would be guaranteed forever. We could also expand Social Security benefits. There’s no reason even to consider reducing Social Security benefits or raising the age of eligibility.
