Journalists keep wanting the story to be "normal working class centrist has questions," not "our country is currently dominated by stupid people in a right wing echo chamber."

The GOP’s platform: We will make things ridiculously expensive and unsafe. You can’t afford anything and measles are back. But trans people are icky, am I right?

During the first Trump administration, I would think a shady, white nationalist-coded government office literally called the “Office of Remigration” would have been a huge deal on cable news. Pretty unnerving how little play it’s getting among liberals now.

I know this isn’t useful but it’s weird how “the president should be coherent” was a Very Important Thing just a few years ago and then suddenly wasn’t.

Democrats caved and/or facilitated this monopolization of practically every major media property in the US into the hands of a MAGA fascist psychopath. If the US had an opposition party, each of its presidential contenders would would vow to dissolve this monopoly by any means necessary.

918 people died at Jonestown. 304 children. Those who refused to drink were shot or forcibly injected with cyanide. If your point is that people follow a leader uncritically maybe try to make your argument without turning victims of coercion and mass murder into props for your simpleminded contempt.

Ah, I see we're back to the "Democrats are actually lying about what they believe in order to win elections and as soon as they gain power they'll act and vote more progressively" delusion. That's an oldie but a goodie. We've never seen any evidence to the contrary, I tell you what.

If you want to really know how the outrage machine gets fired up: 1. Schmitt plans to drop “bombshell” on Smith 2. Someone plants story that Schmitt is a Vance VP contender to run same day 3. Right-wing Twittersphere gets talking points 4. Schmitt steps in it 5. Scheduled tweets go out anyway

When they get back in power, Democrats need to go all-in on higher education. We need a campaign of reinvestment in public universities across the country that makes the Morrill Land-Grant Act look like nothing by comparison *and* a GI Bill of Rights-style program of tuition grants.
