The difference between inflation under Biden and inflation under Trump is under Biden we were lower than the rest of the world, under Trump we’re higher In case facts still matter

Zach Zaidman is frustrating to listen to and interesting to think about why. It's not the conversation part. More like, his core play-by-play calling. He holds back on what's happening, keeping us in the dark longer than normal, and his tone seems to often contradict the actual call. #cubs

Republicans claim there’s no money for healthcare. But then they give $70 billion in tax dollars to ICE to continue their reign of terror on our communities. Your tax dollars should be used to make your life better. Not bankroll Trump’s cruelty & corruption.

We have no idea just how far behind the United States will be in 2028. We'll have nothing: no national science infrastructure, no agricultural progress, no medical progress. The oligarch class has decided to hollow America out in a hedge fund takeover. We are being robbed of our future.

Democrats get a gerrymander in Virginia approved by a referendum, and it falls. Republicans in other states manage to gut the Voting Rights Act to enact partisan gerrymanders with no signoff from voters, and they stand. The game really does feel rigged, doesn't it?

The imperial presidency was a mistake. It has led to destruction of clean air and water, mass death abroad, destruction of cancer research, and now illegal war. We must re-empower Congress, the most democratic branch, and a strong civil service. We can. But that will require Supreme Court reform.

Now two Minnesotans are dead and Minneapolis is on the verge of going up in flames. None. Of. This. Was. Necessary.

I frequently remind people that when given the chance, Republicans held DOZENS of hearings about Benghazi, knowing full well that it was nothing that would result in nothing, but it forced the media to discuss a right-wing buzzword for months on end. Dems think that stuff is petty, but it’s strategy

State cops literally assisted ICE in assaulting and arresting people who had been actively complying with the demands of state police. Folks were on the sidewalk, and ICE marched up and attacked the crowd for a photo op. IL state cops helped. @govpritzker.illinois.gov must be held accountable.
