Their complaints that Dems oppose the “rural hospital fund” are so hilarious.

Kind of like: “I’m going to burn down your house and give you a chocolate chip cookie instead.”

“That sounds terrible.”

“What you don’t like chocolate chip cookies!?”

Yet Trump and his family in just 9mo’s have made about $3.4 billion in cumulative gains (including business and licensing, crypto, etc.).

"Yeah everyone, YOU go down to 1600 and fight for this country.

I've got a book tour to do, so let me make my money in peace.

And don't bring up the fact that I supported a genocide while I was Vice President and that I cared more about AIPAC $$ than winning the election. "

If yall had started protesting on Inauguration Day things wouldn’t have gotten this far. You’ve shown no real resistance because you’re waiting for someone else to do it.

That very much translates into “I know I’ll be ok for longer than THEY will”.

And I’m talking to ALL OF YOU.

This is not a border crossing.
There’s no law that any of us have to show our papers on the interior.

This is a blatant civil rights violation. How is anyone supposed to know whether this man is a real ICE agent or just pretending to be one?!

Well the protestors are being paid to disrupts and we need to find out who’s paying them because the book tour tickets are not cheap. This is a professional op.

This isn’t the behavior of someone who is tap dancing for votes. IF she runs again, she’s going to have all the white people turning red in the face, clutching their pearls and taking to the fainting couches. Especially Democratic strategists, consultants and pundunces.

So, the Administration of the “pro-life” party has decimated the unit at the CDC responsible for monitoring infectious diseases, global health trends, immunization etc. They were never pro-life. Anti-abortionists was too on the nose, but some of y’all bought into the lies.

Lena Sun @lenasun.bsky.social · 3h

NEW: @CDCgov hit hard by massive firings that several staff describe to me as a “bloodbath.”
Among those RIFd:
—leadership of the center for immunization and respiratory diseases;
—leadership of global health center
—leadership of the measles outbreak response; 1/4

We started a movement during the first term called BLM. And y’all villainized our methods. Said we went too far. Even though it was proven the violence was outside actors.

So, since you got your degree. And you think you know everything. LEAD!

Related, this discussion about American attitudes toward higher ed is very on point, though I wish it had highlighted WHY students have a hard time getting into courses (low investment in permanent faculty) podcasts.apple.com/us/podcast/p...

People say college doesn't matter. They're right and wrong.

Do the antivaxxers knows this?

Trump received a Covid booster and Newsom’s team in response is trolling him by calling him “woke”.
