Tolerating this kind of stupidity in our government is so damaging. This is total brain rot fiction and not being able to call it out, or treating Ron Johnson like he is owed any respect, is not something we can permit. We need to have some basic shared reality to function.

The Constitutional Crisis started in 2000. You've been living through it your entire adult life. The reason politics feels hopeless is by design — conservatives broke our democratic form of government to guarantee that the people cannot act against them and are continuing to break it.

Yeah, the “red state airports” will just double their capacity over night, and the people who love in those states, and need to use those airports, will love it.

This is just a heavily coded way of saying that we need to throw certain groups (e.g., the trans community) under the bus. “College seminar” is the tell. This is not aimed at actual technocrats in the Democratic Party, who rely on consultant jargon.

Can you talk in plain English to folks? And not have a bunch of gobbledygook around it. Just talk like normal people talk. 'The rent is too high.'"
