One, this hilariously outs who all got the talking points in advance and how blatantly they parrot those. Two, Schmitt really thought today he'd launch himself to the VP nomination and with that a decent shot at the presidency down the line. Instead this is the only thing he'll be remembered for.

Klobuchar: “For a US senator to have false information and imply, based on a confusion about the name of a team … and imply that you were in another city, that you were somehow involved that day in what was happening in Georgia, and then call you a dirtbag, is something that deserves an apology.”

Too many white folks of white privilege, including some white academics on here, told us that Trump voters would turn away from him because of mass deportations. We told them they were wrong and that this is what would turn Trump voters against him. We were right.

Upshot of the Trump-Xi summit: China apparently is delighted to keep high tariffs on US agricultural products like corn, pork and soybeans in place because it doesn't want to buy American agricultural products anymore. It can meet all its needs from Latin America. In sum: nothing for US farmers.

This, if anything, understates the case. Prior to Trump, the Deputy Director was always a capstone and final position in a decades-long career, spent in its entirety at the FBI.

In March, Washington State passed a tax on millionaires to fund public education, childcare, and expand its earned income tax credit. Now, special interest groups backed by the rich are trying to trick voters into repealing the tax by claiming it will apply to non-millionaires. Don't fall for it.

Washington Taxed Its Millionaires. Now the Rich Want It Repealed.
Washington State voters will get a chance to accept or reject the 9.9 percent income tax on millionaires approved by the Legislature, which broke the state’s taboo against levying income taxes.

Just speaking for film & TV there isn't really a job loss due to AI. It's been mostly due to successive punches of pandemic, streaming collapse, union strikes, studio consolidation and interest rates. This trend was in place way before Midjourney was pumping out pictures with 14 fingers.

So far Trump has tried to rig the midterms by: 1. Attempted to nationalize voter registration & voting requirements. 2. Mid-decade gerrymanders. 3. Tried to use the USPS to obstruct mail-in balloting. 4. Used taxpayer money for ads. 5. Intimidation of election officials.

You want a single payer system? It's okay to focus on the morally on having one, but also lead heavily with "this will cost you $4K more in taxes every year - but you will pocket $8K that you're currently paying through your employer, so you'll have $4K more to spend on bills or things you love."

When most people talk about lowering taxes, what they actually mean is having more disposable income - which is why this person assumes Trump never lowered taxes. Dems should junk the "pay their fair share" semantics & communicate that by taxing billionaires & corps ppl's tax burden will go down.
