the reason my likely presidential candidate tier list has two people at the top - Ossoff and AOC - is that they are by far the most effective messengers of I Am Fucking Furious And There Must Be Consequences, which is the most deeply held conviction of the Dem base

Ossoff: While the world burns and you pay more for everything—your tax dollars become the royal family's wealth. Because it pays to be a Trump, especially when the whole world knows daddy's a crook

if you're the abc news editor who wrote that the nyc mayor attending the 9/11 ceremony is attracting "growing criticism" solely because he's a muslim then you are the criticism you're writing about

Sometimes I can’t even fully process the catastrophe that RFK Jr. has unleashed upon the United States. It is infuriating and demoralizing that tens of thousands of scientists and healthcare professionals banded together to oppose his confirmation, and Republicans just blithely ignored us all.

The only newsworthy aspect of Trump's emotions is how they show he is unfit and dangerous. If NYTimes wanted to center his emotions as the story, the headline is, "President Trump Continues To Unravel As Another Vanity Project Is Found To Be Illegal."

For decades, the IRS has been required to audit every sitting president annually; a critical safeguard to ensure no president has a secret financial stake in betting against the American people they swore to serve. Every president accepted those audits without question. - Until now.
