After our visit to Springfield Friday, I repeat what I wrote that. morning: We’re honored to help bring more attention to the outrages our government is perpetrating in our name. We’re honored so many of you are part of this effort. One more thing: ABOLISH ICE. www.thebulwark.com/p/why-were-g...

I don't love dunking on folks but it's so fucking funny to me that Trump was convicted of 34 felonies 2 years ago, faced no punishment, and went on to win the presidency a second time and journalists are still like, "hmm, I have an inkling that maybe he believes he's above the law for some reason."
Post from NYT reporter Eric Lipton 

"What an odd moment in United States history.

A U.S. president is running an overtly political campaign advertisement, right before midterm elections, paid for by the U.S. government.

Trump appears to believe he is immune from any kind of legal limit."

As governor, this absolute shitpiece removed a mural from Maine's Department of Labor building honoring Maine native Frances Perkins -- one of the finest Americans of the last century and the person most responsible for ending child labor, creating worker safety codes and birthing Social Security.

What I can't get over is the Dems out there trying to transphobia their way out of these numbers. Just out there riding the crest of the wave, doing morally unsupportable pandering to bigotry at a time when it is also strategically foolish, just for love of the capitulation game.

Hard to overstate how fake this "national security" justification for the Arch is. If we need new defense structures and capabilities for the nation's capital, there are large military bases very close by in DC and Northern Virginia that can host them. wapo.st/4hojaMW

Trump says planned arch will be ‘military complex’ for drones, snipers
The president's post about the arch planned near Arlington National Cemetery comes as veterans groups, historic preservationists and others attempt to stop the project.

Jared Kushner is not "on the other side of the aisle." He's not an elected official. He's not an administration official. He's the president's son-in-law and a private citizen. You do not, in fact, have to take meetings with relatives of the president. Some might even say you should *not* do that

It doesn't speak well for America's capacity to govern itself at the moment that an industry worth tens of billions of $$, which operates openly & employs 100,000+ workers, is technically illegal for no reason anyone can articulate such that some courts will refuse to enforce their contracts.

Three weeks after 9/11, the city chose a cover-up over public safety. Jon Stewart described poison in the air & ground, coating clothes, pets, and air conditioners for months. People who survived the attacks were sent into toxic dust because “business as usual” mattered more.

Let's say you spend $200 on groceries. Let's also say a consumption tax makes that $220. There is no difference between paying $200 and $0 tax compared to $220 and getting $20 in UBI. Yes you can limit consumption taxes to certain approved stuff, but that just requires unnecessary admin overhead.

Asked why the WNBA continues to experience these heightened distractions, Cloud said, "Men."
"The men now that are like 'Oh, we need to protect the WNBA,’ y'all were the same ones saying we shouldn't be paid," Cloud continued. "Y'all were the same ones saying we shouldn't have been invested in, saying we're a joke, the same ones that don't respect Black women. So, if you're going to protect women, that means all women. That includes Black women, trans women and the list goes on."
