Biden got absolutely hosed by this because everyone, regardless of partisanship, agreed that Joe Biden was the Senile Inflation President, because that was the view on TikTok that proved you were In The Know, and thus they all convinced themselves groceries doubled in two years.

Our founders, though deeply flawed, understood that democracy requires an informed citizenry and a government accountable to it people. That’s why the press is the only profession protected by the Constitution. It’s also why autocrats and oligarchs seek to control and destroy it.

It’s like Democrats could embrace immigrant rights and win elections on it instead of trying to be draconian in a kinder way.
Striking from new Quinnipiac poll:
*Voters prefer path to legalization over deportations for most undocs by 59-34. Among independents it's 61-33
*Majority says Trump on immigration is making America less safe
Again, there's broad rejection of the whole project, not just ICE tactics (see below)

So far today, actual experts have proven immigrants are very good for the US economy and trans women athletes aren’t competitively different from cis women athletes. But that won’t stop the liars on these issues. They will just lie louder.

There is a deep irony in the fact that we could simultaneously make things way more liberal than they are while lying to people that we're making them more conservative
"we are cutting foreign aid to 2% of the budget" (this would be roughly a doubling of aid, but people assume it's like ~25%)
"we are cutting foreign aid to 2% of the budget" (this would be roughly a doubling of aid, but people assume it's like ~25%)
One of the most successful GOP lies is that, there is some magic line that illegal immigrants are just cutting to come into the country, and that they only wanted to deport the criminal ones of those, and, A, there is no line, and B, they want to deport anybody that isn’t Lily white. And yet
one area where popularism is most preposterous is where voters are quite obviously confused

Again, I know everyone wants to yell at The Democrats & Chuck Schumer & Hakeem Jefferies, but there are 10-25 people in Washington who could literally end all of this tomorrow, & none of them are Democrats, & they continue to get 24/7 free passes for being absolute oath-violating cowards. Focus.
Yes, we’re looking at you, Lisa Murkowski & Susan Collins & Thom Tillis, you absolute oath-violating cowards.
These 5 people could caucus with the Democrats, giving them a majority & firmly opposing the fascism, any time. It might be nice for an enterprising journalist to ask them why they keep not doing this every day as the crimes & corruption continue & John Thune refuses to fulfill his oath of office.
