This is a moral moment in America. Sitting on the Capitol steps with Leader Hakeem Jeffries this morning to discuss what’s at stake with Trump’s budget and affirm the need for collective action to protect Medicaid, food assistance, and other safety net programs. @hakeem-jeffries.bsky.social

Actually, they did. That’s why they created the Electoral College. What they never anticipated was elected officials from one of the two major political parties being this stupid.

Judge J. Harvie Wilkinson, an uber conservative stalwart on the 4th Circuit Court of Appeals for decades, just made almost verbatim the same point Justice Sotomayor has been making, most recently in her statement in the Abrego-Garcia case.

This has always been the GOP's strategy: 1) Cut taxes for the wealthy & corporations by claiming they'll pay for themselves. 2) Explode the deficit. 3) Demand cuts to vital programs that help millions. 4) Repeat. They're trying to get away with it again.

This is seriously gross. I will say this until I am blue in the face, but the idea that white people NEED this to happen because the truth hurts our feelings is bullshit. We can (and must) reckon with our actual history to create a better world. Our minds are plenty strong to handle it all.
