I guess it’s just a coincidence that Elon Musk comes out of the woodwork before every major election and gets handed a government position with major consequences for the American people. 🤔

This particular bunch is so dumb that they have the level of confidence in their own intellect which only comes from never having had to realize that other people may be smarter. One of the most important parts of higher education is learning that you are not a singular genius who is always right.

The response when progressive policies that help millions of people are proposed... "How will you pay for it?" The response when the richest 1% ask for tax cuts, or banks ask for bailouts, or defense contractors ask for more contracts... "How much do you need?" It doesn't have to be this way.

Susan Collins has voted to confirm 60+ anti-abortion judges in her time in the Senate, and now she's voted for 3 more just since last week. Nice to see Senator Collins was able to take a break from lying about corruption to give a lifetime appointment to another anti-choice judge.
