But a theocracy run by madmen is exactly what the GOP is trying to implement… 🤔

I’m old enough to remember that high gas prices in the $4-$5 per gallon range was a key issue in the 2008 presidential election—meaning that it happened under Republican President Bush.

As far as I can think, absolutely not. I’ve been trying to understand this as well — what is the accusation exactly??

Even if he had been in Atlanta, how would that prove he communicated with the local prosecutor? And why would doing so be scandalous in any way? Every aspect of this story is dumber than the next.

It seems clear to me that his staff/GOP are lying and he either had a stroke or traumatic brain injury from falling and is unable to speak. 911 info says EMS gave him CPR. They only do that if heart/breathing stopped. That’s not just a fall.

Even the GOP itself doesn’t like its candidates. You’ve got high-stakes Senate and House races and you didn’t want to give a single one of those candidates a top spot? You chose instead wooden Scott Bessent and the housing secretary who has been nowhere amid a housing crisis?

She presents zero evidence in this piece that these grocery stores will lose money, and if they’re not losing money, then they cost taxpayers nothing. Also, literally every grocery store uses this tactic of deeply discounting certain staples to draw in customers.

Democrats should publicly commit to not recognizing pardons for crimes not yet indicted. If they don't, this will become a crime free-for-all. Trump is telling staffers laws don't apply to them.

I am convinced that American construction companies are constantly fleecing government. Chicago is building a metro extension similar to this one but *aboveground* on an existing rail corridor, and the cost is budgeted at $3.6 billion.

Especially because the public’s conceptions of these categories are very much colored by right-wing narratives. E.g. on immigration, large swathes of the population believe that Dems are in favor of “open borders” because the right wing has relentlessly pushed that message.

You should see the comments on every single Chicago Sun-Times and Chicago Tribune story involving Pritzker. Just a litany of fat shaming (can’t even be called jokes) with zero subtlety or cleverness. It seems to be the only criticism Republicans can find against him.

One of the ways in which people’s intuitions are really wrong is that handguns ‘feel’ less dangerous than like AR-15s, but if you want to actually be serious about reducing gun deaths you focus on the former

It is not mathematically possible for her to save $11,000 from the “no taxes on tips” law. It has a limit of $25k worth of tips and there is no way she was paying a 44% tax rate.

interprelator.bsky.social @interprelator.bsky.social · 14/04/2026

All these news organizations credulously reporting her claim that she’s saved massively because of the tax law 😤 If she made $11k in tips, that means she maybe saved $1k on taxes (if she even made enough before to pay fed taxes). It’s possible the law saved her money, but not as much as claimed.

I think when we talk about term limits, most people imagine two terms. But what if we limited House members to something like 7 to 10 terms and senators to 3 or 4? Could that balance the need for institutional knowledge with the need for fresh faces?

The Democrats aren’t even asking for that much. They’re literally just asking for DHS agents to wear body cams and follow existing law. But any compromise, no matter how modest, is too much for Republicans.

Your argument is essentially that all young people are inherently unqualified to be a congressperson and I strongly disagree. It is not the same as being the chief executive of a city, you’re one of 435 and there is room for learning the nuts and bolts of legislating.

What does she mean by “hampers my office’s ability to hold ICE agents accountable”? Her office is doing virtually nothing! She has forcefully rejected the mayor’s calls for her to do something! Eileen, if you’re going to sit by, then at least let someone else do something.

SCOOP — Tom Suozzi has a Democratic primary challenger in the NY-3 congressional race. Danielle Welch (@daniwelch.bsky.social), a public defender, has officially declared her candidacy. Welch gave me this comment about launching her campaign:

I am running for Congress because we urgently need leaders who will stand up for our rights. We need leaders who understand that treating human beings like human beings is a moral obligation, not a political question. We need leaders who will work hard to help humanity, not serve the elite.

I am a first-generation college graduate, the mom of a young daughter, a proud union member, and a public defender. I have personally experienced many of the challenges that working class people face, and I understand the urgency they demand.
