"Every gun that is made, every warship launched, every rocket fired signifies, in the final sense, a theft from those who hunger and are not fed, those who are cold and are not clothed." -Dwight D. Eisenhower, 1953

Leaving my house with the ‘don’t tread on me’ flag on it, putting on my mask and tactical gear, strapping on my weapon, and roaming the cities and towns that didn’t vote for my favorite candidate as an armed anonymous agent of the state kidnapping and shooting people who I don’t like the look of.

I remember the phrase "they can't be allowed to melt back into society" re: the de-Baathification of Iraq after the war there. Like everything about that experience, the attempt was cynical, stupid, and botched. But there really should be a plan about what we do with guys like these in the future.

A big issue I’ve experienced and hear so much from other parents with young kids is the frustration of having your parents come over to “help” or at the very least spend time with the grandchildren and they simply cannot pry themselves away from their devices.

These are concentration camps. Concentration camps can evolve into death camps and even if they don’t, cramming this many people together and neglecting their health and care will lead to many people dying

Ben Sasse will have the best health care in the world as he fights his metastasized cancer. Which makes it all the greater shame how many times he voted to take away even basic screenings from tens of millions of his fellow Americans.

Pre ACA I needed insurance after aging out of my parent’s plan. I had to answer millions of questions about the fact that I had gone to a PT for my neck hurting.

It rocks that it took the White House a year to figure out that driving up people’s healthcare spending for no reason by roughly 18million percent would be something they’d have to address politically

We worked hard on this and then a wave of Nuzzi/MTG/Mamdani news hit all at once. But if you’ve got time this weekend I really urge you to check out what we found here, and take a minute to let the scale of these operations sink in fully. It really feels insane to me.

I am genuinely convinced that one of the reasons it used to be thought that most people grew out of ADHD as adults was how common smoking was.

this dude rules
“Fundamentalism is just talking about the basics of what Jesus says, what the Bible instructs us, and what our theology and doctrine calls us to do to believe,” he said. “When we are fundamentalists about those things, it really provokes us to be taking a very progressive stance in the world — or at least a stance that reads to the world as politically progressive — because it’s a stance that’s fundamentally nonjudgmental, fundamentally rooted in love, solidarity and interest in mutual aid and compassion.”

Black responded to Johnson by name at the “shadow hearing,” urging the speaker to “get the name of my Lord and savior Jesus Christ out of your mouth.” Asked about Johnson by RNS, Black accused the speaker of “weaponizing and equipping the forces of Rome that rounded up and executed Jesus.”

“My sincere hope for Mike Johnson is that he be called into his own repentance and clarity about his own faith,” he said.“There is a new democratic movement in this nation. It is pluralistic and it is intergenerational, spiritually rooted and uncompromising in solidarity,” Black said. “It is time for the Democratic Party to decide if it will be the party of the people, the party of liberation and justice.”

I’ve been thinking a lot about the parallels to strikes. Strikes cause a lot of pain to striking employees, that is built in. The Dems have zero preparation, concept of their goals, understanding of their opponents’ pain points, credibility from their base

The original Dem demands were: 1) Permanent ACA subsidies 2) Medicaid funding restored 3) No more blank checks for the regime (rescission) They dropped Medicaid immediately. Went silent on rescission. Cut back to 1 year of subsidies on Friday. And surrendered today. The Senate Democrats!

Democrats have to stop bailing out Republicans from facing the consequences of their own policies. And yeah, that means they have to stop sparing voters from experiencing what GOP government truly means. Every time Dems step in, it only emboldens the GOP & they make it even worse the next time.

There is something deeply broken about an economy that creates trillionaires while people get buried under the cost of living and 42 million go hungry. The ultra-rich should realize that my Billionaires Income Tax, aimed at ensuring they pay their fair share, represents the moderate path forward.

Loudoun County, in northern Virginia, was the sign of apocalypse twelve months ago for Democrats. Most of the vote just came in. (AP estimates 79%.) Spanberger up 26%. (And Jay Jones up 15%.) Four years ago, McAuliffe won it by just 11% on his way to a 2% loss.

🧵This horrific story is being reported all over Latin America, but not the US. Randall Gamboa, a Costa Rican, was deported from the US in such a critical health condition it required an ambulance flight. He then died upon his return to Costa Rica after being detained for 8 months by DHS.
Randall Gamboa in Nazi Noem custody for 8 months then died when deported back to Costa Rica.
