I quit Twitter years ago, when Muskie announced he was thinking of buying it. It was a toxic place that was not good for my sanity, even before the takeover. Now here I am, on BlueSky, following the same news junkies & journalists I did on Twitter. I'm sorry, future Bill. I didn't mean to hurt you.

Trump has made it clear time and again that the DOJ operates at his discretion

If you’re a perceived enemy, you’re a target. Damn the law. Damn the evidence.

This is not how democracy is supposed to function

Democrats are expected to provide think tank level policy proposals for every societal ill under the sun (fully paid for too, natch!!) while Republicans are just like "we'll figure something out" and the media nods along.🙃

If you just banked that coffee money every week and denied yourself every other instance of life’s gastronomic pleasures, however small and ordinary, you could save enough to make the down payment on that starter house in [checks notes] five hundred and seventy three years

“At the same time, more than half of Gen Z members say they are struggling to make ends meet, yet a majority buy themselves a small treat, such as a pastry, coffee, or sweet, at least once a week. That can lead to overspending…”

Any lawsuit should require RFK and Trump to hold another press conference to court the record. This is what they do, lie in a big way, then quietly retract when busted. The lie still spreads much further than the truth.
