This starts with her aggressively trying to link him to the Muslim Brotherhood. I'd like to see someone turn the tables on this. "You're Christian, right? Did you support Timothy McVeigh? Did you agree with Dylann Roof? Or Eric Rudolph? Robert Lewis Dear? No? Even though you share their religion?"

Wolfers: Wage growth has just been falling month after month after month now... So the purchasing power, the amount of stuff that a typical American worker can afford is actually going backwards. This is not how it’s meant to be. Full analysis: podcasts.apple.com/us/podcast/t...

Today's jobs report is a reminder that tax cuts for corporations and the rich don’t create jobs or grow the economy. What's required is investment in working people — and better wages. When workers have money to spend, the economy grows and businesses create more jobs. Remember this.

El-Sayed on RFK JR: It goes back to the fact that they appointed a guy who takes his kids swimming in Schitt's Creek. I find it personally offensive that my dude works out in jeans. Either he is not really working out or he just has massive calluses on the inside of his legs. It is not right

It's easy to forget that the whole purpose of the Republican Party is to distract voters daily with such irrelevant nonsense that we never have conversations about how to actually move the country forward. Can you imagine a US politician who was only willing to discuss *policy*?

Just 10 billionaires have already poured nearly $670 MILLION into this year's midterms. In the entire 2008 presidential cycle, the last election before Citizens United, total billionaire spending was $16 million. If you're wondering what the real threat to "election integrity" is, it's Big Money.

George Washington rejected the idea of a massive presidential palace. The White House was deliberately scaled back because the president of the United States should not live like a king. 234 years later, Trump is posting Versailles fan fiction starring himself.

Despite being shown boxes of evidence by his own appointee, Trump would rather punish innocent American citizens to cover his mistakes. The man is a monster and everyone that supports him should be voted out of office Sometimes it’s that simple.

Wolfers: For nine out of the last 10 presidencies, if you’d said, “How much should we blame the president for what’s going on with the economy right now?” I would have said that the president is just one factor among many. That’s what I would have said nine out of 10 times. This is the 10th time.

Americans are relearning the lesson we learned during the Gilded Age of the late 1890s, when robber barons ran the government and the economy for their own benefit: Oligarchy is incompatible with the common good. I'm hopeful we'll respond with a new progressive movement.

At least 10 Trump officials hold as much as $43.8M in stock in Elon Musk's SpaceX or in xAI. That means the SpaceX IPO — which will make Musk a trillionaire — would also directly enrich Trump's lackeys. SpaceX has been boosted by over $10B in government contracts since 2025. See the problem here?
