I’m now on the highest dose of Zoloft I’ve ever been on. I no longer try to control the kids’ behaviors. I try to guide them as best I can, but I’m just one person. They’re going to do what they’re going to do regardless of any warnings, scoldings, stink eyes, and consequences. #teachingtoday

To the reporter who was told "Quiet, Piggy." I don't know if you need to hear this but...
1. You are not fat.
2. You do not look like a pig.
3. There is nothing pig-like about you.
4. All of the above, does, however, apply to the Mad Orange King.
I'm sorry if the Pig of the World ruined your day.

"A lot of young people are saying housing is way too expensive. Why is that? Because we flooded the country with 30 million illegal immigrants who were taking houses that ought by right go to American citizens." This is pro-nativism propaganda. Yes, we should be worried about Vance. #immigration

"Inflation."
"What causes inflation?"
"Well, at least in part... Trump's tariffs."
"Oh! My parents voted for him."

"'I'd respect you more if you told me you actually believe in this crap and that's why you were supporting the bill. But to tell me you don't believe in this stuff, you think it's going to hurt your own constituents, and vote for it anyway, that's cowardice.'"
This is a damning anecdote from Rep Jim McGovern. He tells me that during debate over Trump's big budget bill, House Rs privately admitted to him that it would screw over their own constituents, yet they had to vote for it anyway.

Soldiers in MRAPs rolling around Union Station—blocks from the Capitol—seems silly, performative, and useless.
But it raises a much darker question:
What would Trump have done on Jan. 6, 2021 if he had possessed then the kind of control over local law enforcement that he seeks to acquire today?
