So after two straight days of Republicans saying trans people and the Left did this, threatening full on violence, it turns out the suspect is a politically unaffiliated white dude who was trained to use guns by his Republican law enforcement dad? Do I have that right?

In Putin's Russia, Elon Musk would be done — plane crash, window fall, polonium tea. Tech billionaires who assault democratic institutions forget an important fact: These institutions protect them from the very authoritarians they seek to empower.

I’ll say this as many times as I have to. No tax cut in the history of tax cuts has ever paid for itself. Not a one.

BREAKING: Josh Stein just aired Trump the fuck out for denying FEMA aid to North Carolina after Hurricane Helene. A whole damn state wrecked—and Trump sat on his fat ass and did NOTHING. Stein brought heat. No filters. No fear. Just facts and fire.

In a matter of months, roughly 2,000 employees were pushed out of the FAA under Co-President Musk and DOGE. Workers were left unsure whether silence meant resignation, all in the name of efficiency. That’s like gutting your fire department during wildfire season and calling it innovation. (1/2)

Tariffs on their own do not create more American jobs or lead to more US production. In fact, Trump's last trade war cost roughly 300,000 jobs. All these tariffs will do is give corporations cover to jack up prices and pad their profits at our expense.

The fact that everything around us is burning to the ground & some people still have no clue that they voted for the arsonist or are complicit in the arson is absolutely mind boggling. People are ok with it so long as the black woman isn’t their President 🤯. America, we have a problem!

Extraordinary moment — Nancy Pelosi issues a statement calling on Democratic senators to reject the House funding bill, i.e. to defy Chuck Schumer. "Democratic senators should listen to the women," she says, referring to Murray/DeLauro who want a 1-month stopgap bill instead.

I'd like to bring this video to your attention. www.youtube.com/watch?v=hyco... It's doing pretty significant numbers for what it is, so while I understand sharing it won't make a difference for those knee-deep in the cult of personality, I'd say it has a better-than-average chance of resonating.

Trump is literally devastating America and the nation’s political and media elites are so convinced that it’s their job to suck up to power - often in the guise of respecting populism - that they’re going to somehow be the last to notice. Maybe not until the mob rips them out of their homes
