"Look, Democrats are losing male voters, and...you know who isn’t a feminized ladyboy with a skincare routine? A guy whose face literally liquefied into a puddle of lard faster than a tourist trying to climb Cadillac Mountain in July." @rebeccasaltzman.bsky.social killed it with this one y'all!

"There’s simply no way any of us could have predicted a Nazi SS guy with his eyeballs dangling out of his sockets and the Staff of Ra broiled into his flesh like grill marks on a meat slab would be such a terrible candidate for Senate."

Also, may I say that I don’t agree with people saying ICE and CBP need “more training.” They’re doing exactly what this administration has trained them to—impose a reign of fear in blue cities. They don’t need more training. They need to be ripped up root and branch.

They murdered Good and Pretti, a poet and a nurse, one whose last words were “I’m not mad,” another whose last act was shielding another. Because of course that’s who they killed. Everyday people.

A lot of hospitals are going to be in trouble if Republicans gut Medicaid. E.g, we have had a problem with labor and delivery wards closing for decades. Medicaid pays for 40% of US births. What’s going to happen to the remaining L&D wards if Medicaid goes away?

These guys are about to kick millions of people off their health insurance and they don't have the faintest idea of how these programs work, just throwing out numbers in an incoherent jumble. It's like a football coach saying "We've got a 10-yard redzone in our offside flea flicker so we'll be good"

House E&C Chair Brett Guthrie: “We have an expansion population that gets 90% federal money, and you have traditional [Medicaid], so a disabled child in Kentucky gets 72 cents when they go to the doctor. And we know that’s just unsustainable.” “We want to fix that” www.nbcnews.com/politics/con...

Screaming at these people works. They’re fundamentally wimps, we just have to actually DO the screaming instead of preemptively admitting defeat. I am talking about my fellow Americans, not the Democrats. We actually need to scream, gang, not just complain that Schumer isn’t.

They’re trying to siphon the little margin we get. But indies put 67% of every dollar back into their local economies. Am*zon puts 4% back. Barnes and Noble returns 45%. What they are doing is calculated expressly to hurt small independent bookstores.
