Keep up the boycott folks! It will send a message. #CUSMA #TradeWar #cdnpoli
Yes to all of this👇. Sure, put 🇺🇸 booze back on the shelves if 🇨🇦 gets something in return. Because it was a people-powered boycott that we can (& should) all continue, regardless. Let it collect dust. Don’t dust off the bottles. Let the visual of that speak loud and clear. #CUSMA #cdnpoli
The national debt just crossed $40 trillion. When I entered Congress in 2011, it was $14 trillion—and we treated it like an emergency. We had a real chance to change the trajectory. I was there. I cast some of those votes. Including regrets. open.substack.com/pub/adamkinz...
The $40 Trillion I Saw Coming...and Voted For Anyway

Prescription drugs are about to get even more expensive. Trump is coming for Medicare Part D subsidies, which try to keep drug prices down (they're still too high.) We desperately need Medicare for All. No parts A, B, C, or D. No premiums, co-pays, deductibles. Just healthcare when you need it.

Ossoff "understands that Democrats need more than “affordability” policy messages to win... They need to depict Trump as feeble, selfish, and tone-deaf. By inserting Harp into the national political discourse, Ossoff inverted the national narrative about which side is politically soft and entitled.
Very good piece by @schaller67.bsky.social over at @atrupar.com’s Public Notice, deftly explaining the subtle genius behind Ossoff’s “travel with Natalie”—and why it’s such a devastating model for undermining Trump

There are many lies to point out here, but the one that gets on my nerves is "under budget and ahead of schedule". He uses this one often, and it's always bullshit. The original budget was $200 million, and cost estimates now are about $1 billion. If only we had a White House press corps.
