Higher diesel means EVERYTHING in your life is more expensive: - Food - Everyday retail items - Shipping costs - Heating your home - Airfare and travel This is Trump’s war tax on you. Enough is enough.

Hard not to notice that Democrats who are doing the best are the ones who are leaving this whole civility-and-norms, we-go-high, we-need-a-strong-Republican-Party bullshit behind and are simply giving Republicans exactly what they all ought to get at all times, which is undisguised contempt.

It's possible to have good faith disagreements about the upper marginal income tax rate, foreign policy, or the defense budget. It's not possible to have good faith disagreements about which people should be denied basic human rights.

Much broader point than Janet's. But, many of us got pulled into libertarianism because we were worried about the Patriot Act and general centralization of power. And then, well, the vast majority of people who called themselves libertarians went all-in on racism and misinformation.

It is embarrassing when a senior member of a family suffers dementia and the instinct is to close ranks, hide the distressing reality, and pretend everything is fine. The United States is going through this as a nation.

This is spectacular, folks. We live in a moment in American history when the president and his administration are so racist and dumb that a toy company has to put out a statement saying: "OUR GIANT ROBOT THAT TURNS INTO A TRUCK DENOUNCES RACISM AND HAS NO CONNECTION TO THE CURRENT PRESIDENT."

"In an alternate universe where Rs were held to the same standard, the Trump admin would already be saddled w/the term 'Trumpflation.' Predictably, Trump is trying to shift blame elsewhere: Biden, Canada, the Fed. But Trump owns it — & he should, because his short-sighted policies created it."

After FDR cleaned up the mess created by Calvin Coolidge and blamed on Herbert Hoover, Democrats spent decades reminding voters what the two parties had done. In recent generations, that basic act of politicking has been deemed impolite by Democratic leaders. That needs to end.
