El-Sayed: "Mike, I'm gonna say it right now, I know you're gonna say no because you're a coward: Five debates, alright? ... By the time we're done, you are not gonna have safe quarter from people holding you accountable to what you've done for them here in Michigan. We will send you back to Florida"

GOP policies are wildly unpopular. Yet, GOP politicians keep winning. Makes you think… 💰

Big tax results out of Missouri tonight: Voters statewide rejected by an huge margin a GOP ballot measure to phase out the income tax. They also renewed a sales tax to keep state parks free. And Kansas City approved a package of $1.7 billion of bonds for infrastracture.

There's a great quote from the movie Kiss Kiss Bang Bang that feels relevant here: "Badly is an adverb. So to say you feel badly would be saying that the mechanism which allows you to feel is broken."

This went a little different than his nightly interviews with Sean Hannity.

MAX MILLER: She's 2.5 years old. She doesn't have the ability to articulate what you just said. TAPPER: But you just told me that she said she was scared to go to mommy's house. Now you're saying she's not capable of saying "Daddy kill you"? MILLER: What about due process?

TAPPER: Hold on -- hold on, 'cause I'm not done with the list of women who have accused you of violence. Are all three of them lying? REP. MAX MILLER: Yes. And I'm not getting out of the race because in 2016, President Donald J Trump faced the most extreme allegations in the world ...

Oh my god the dietician who is telling everyone in the White House to only eat steak and sauerkraut doesn't wipe his ass.

a thing you definitely do when the tech is working well and being used properly

New: Police are being told to hide the fact that they're using Flock to pull people over and arrest them in both encounters with citizens but ALSO in their official police reports: www.404media.co/do-not-menti...

The Father of Capitalism, Adam Smith, warned that the greatest threats to free markets were monopolies, corporate collusion, and wealthy interests capturing government to rig markets against the public. A free market cannot exist without real competition.

Corporate consultants only advise Democrats what is best for corporations. If they listened to the People, they tell a wildly different story.

I have, with my own eyes, watched my tax dollars in the form of missiles as they hit buildings inhabited by civilians. I'd much prefer subsidizing a grocery story I don't use.

Opinion: Mamdani's idea may sound appealing, but it's NYC taxpayers who will take the hit, subsidizing discounts they may never even use.

The caddie literally just tosses a fucking ball on the ground for Trump while never looking back

We can't solve a housing crisis without building more housing. Today we broke ground on the Casanova Residence, which will soon be nearly 100 affordable and supportive homes with on-site services for New Yorkers. Every new home is a step toward a City that everyone can afford.

If you're a cis person insisting that the prospect of trans children playing youth sports is not only "a problem" but in fact one of the biggest problems we currently face as a nation, I'd be happy to introduce you to literally a million other things that should be worrying you more.

So under this Supreme Court's treatment of U.S. law and presidential power, Joe Biden couldn't forgove my student loans, but perhaps Donald Trump can forgive his own tax debt. Wild.

FLAG: Trump gets to keep tax immunity for himself, his sons, and the Trump Organization under the new 'deal' struck by Todd Blanche. The new order also reaffirms that Trump won't have to pay any taxes he might have owed the IRS.

There is absolutely no place or tolerance for antisemitism, Islamophobia, or anti-Christian sentiment in the progressive movement in the United States. All religious practitioners belong and should have no fear of persecution. We need to make that very clear.

James Talarico on Texas officially banning THC: “Texans aren’t going to stop smoking weed and eating edibles because politicians in Austin say so. We are now telling full-grown adults how to live their lives. This is the nanny state at its worst; this is big government at its worst."

Democrats are held to impossible standards. Republicans are held to none.

"Call it democracy, or call it democratic socialism, but there must be a better distribution of wealth within this country for all God's children." —Martin Luther King, Jr.

A society that vilifies scientists and healthcare workers for trying to save lives is a society determined to destroy itself.

The disclosure marks the first time a bank has formally tied money laundering concerns to Trump's family business.

“Sandwich guy case” “Harvard clawed frog embryo smuggling case” “Olympic canoeist reflecting pool vandalism case” “James Comey seashells Instagram post case” New rule: If the case sounds like a Mad Libs story, it’s probably about to implode.

MEDIA PSA: When you call it the $1.8 Billion “anti-weaponization fund” you’re helping Trump sane-wash it It’s an “insurrectionist slush fund” A “heist” or “theft” from taxpayers A “scheme” to enrich himself When you use his words you aren’t a journalist, you’re a stenographer

"Government by organized money is just as dangerous as Government by organized mob." —FDR, 1936

I’m glad Democrats are finally seeing the writing on the wall. We need major reform to protect our democracy. Expand the court, abolish ICE, abolish gerrymandering, expand the House, abolish Super PACs, Medicare for All, codifying Roe, major monopoly/monopsony busting… What a solid platform!

What the US government is doing to Dr. Fauci is the embodiment of what they are doing to scientific infrastructure overall.

it’s depressing how many dems turn to gutter racism when their backs are against the wall
