You paid the illegal tariffs. The billionaires and giant corporations are getting the refunds and choosing what to do with them. This administration's chaotic tariff policies are robbing working families.

El-Sayed: "My commitment to Jewish safety is the same commitment that I have to the safety of my own daughters. Because if there is one question of political philosophy that ought to animate us all, it's what would we do if we treated all our kids like they were all of our kids?"
A gracious concession: “I want to congratulate Abdul El-Sayed on winning the Democratic nomination for U.S. Senate. He is a doctor, a community health official, a Rhodes Scholar, and a dedicated Michigander. I am proud to offer my support as he takes on Mike Rogers in the general election…
Pete Buttigieg says he prefers to live in interesting times: “There are different seasons in the history of this country… It’s precisely when the house is on fire that you wind up having the most interesting and exciting changes.” open.substack.com/pub/steveins...

RFK Jr has no training in any scientific field. He's a history major who got a law degree and worked as an environmental advocate but has never spent any meaningful time doing science, or understanding how science is done. This isn't "an alternative scientific view". It's just kooky opinions.
Aaron Rupar@atrupar.com · 3d agoBASH: The WSJ reported the president is pressuring you to conduct studies probing the link between vaccines and autism. Is that true? RFK Jr: Did you say 'probing the link'? BASH: I'm just quoting the Wall Street Journal RFK Jr: He certainly does
Running against JD Vance is the moral thing to do, but it’s ALSO good strategy. Senate races tend to nationalize, so why not target such a pathetic, uncharismatic & odious person & say “this is who I’m running against”? Even a blind person can see Vance hates his wife’s blood- this won’t hurt Abdul
Tom Nichols@radiofreetom.bsky.social · 5d agoI think it’s a remarkably stupid thing for a political candidate to say. This is not the first time people have pointed out Vance’s hypocrisy on this issue, but to pull his children into it and say that you somehow know what’s in Vance’s mind about his own kids is over the line.

Kamala Harris: I know this is going to be controversial coming from me in particular, we need to revisit the electoral college. We need to revisit the point of expanding the court. We need to revisit, if they so want, statehood for Puerto Rico and D.C.
This democracy is ours for the building. 250 years in, the only thing that has rescued us from some of the worst moral failures in our country's history has been democracy. Can we be better? That's the choice we have now.

I miss seeing Colbert on late night. I know it “wasn’t a format contemporary audiences care about” and whatever but he never phoned it in and it was always a bright spot in my day to watch his monologue.

Imagine if a woman president spent most her time raving and crying about an election she lost 6 years ago. Emotional. Unstable. Hysterical. Unfit to lead.
