OK everyone this is really simple - Nazis bad. The end.
Correct and it has all been memory-holed. I just laugh when people suggest w/ a straight face that Dems can win by promising universal health care. Clearly none of you remember the 2009 health care town halls or anything that happened in the lead up to the passage of the ACA.
Whatever her other faults, Clinton spent her entire political career scheming to find ways to get as close to universal health coverage as possible and took repeated political defeats while trying. Then based on a vague reputation for centrism, people go, "Pfft. Didn't even try."

Every single Trump voter can rot in hell. Oh, and those agents who said "I'm just following orders"? Fuck you.

Corporate Media is going to pretend that Trump is heartbroken about the two West Virginian National Guardsmen being shot in DC, but the entire point of moving a standing army into a peaceful city was to induce violence by The People to justify more violence by Trump on The People in retaliation.

This is the way
Democrats should be the party of America restoration, focused on sweeping away every last vestige of Trump's seedy third-world tyranny and exacting cold retribution against people who have betrayed our country and its Constitution for their own self-enrichment

This is anecdotal of course but when I was in grad school out of state, this was my experience. I'm from the Twin Cities & pretty much every student from both coasts constantly bashed MN. They seemed to think we are all illiterate & uncultured, that there is nothing worth seeing/experiencing in MN.
More importantly, what's wrong with Cincinnati? Too many east coast and west coast liberals look down on literally the rest of the country and honestly, it's pretty fucking gross.

In the end DOGE saved negligible money and made government less efficient.
The only thing Elon accomplished was training his AI with government data.

I want all of these assholes to be held accountable. I will vote for anyone who vows to aggressively investigate and prosecute (if found to break the law). At the very least, every single employee of DOGE needs to be shunned from polite society.

I've decided that Addams Family Values can also serve as a Thanksgiving movie because of the summer campus production (and hilarious mutiny) of the first Thanksgiving. One of my favorite films of all time. The whole cast is great and Joan Cusack is legendary.

OK but what if you want more people to die preventable deaths?
6 people have died from a nationwide listeria outbreak.
31 babies have been hospitalized with botulism from contaminated baby formula.
Instead of firing crucial FDA employees & attacking the agency, Trump should be hiring more experts to crack down on these dangerous outbreaks.

Never. Only Dems have agency.
When Trump admin officials get asked why a certain sector of the economy is so bad, 90% of the time their answers begin with “we inherited.” Did everyone forget what Biden inherited in Jan 2021? Or what Obama inherited in Jan 2009? When are Republicans ever responsible?

I think it's a little bit of both
I don’t think we need to be quite so cynical! I think people just mostly believe what they hear from their friends and other sources they trust, and if you tell them the economy is bad and no one can afford anything, they’re not going to check five years of purchase history to see if you’re wrong.
I mean I don't think Trump won because people were complaining about housing costs, I think he won because swing voters are vapid and selfish and just axiomatically assume a more punitive, austere economy is better for making them individually rich because they're bloodthirsty zero sum parasites.

Correct. I've been saying this for months. Money doesn't do you much good if the treatment you need doesn't exist! The rich cannot just set up their own research institutions to replace what is lost.
The crazy thing is, this is the stuff rich people really need the government to be doing. No matter how rich you are, you can't replicate the health benefits of the government doing major studies like this. But they don't care.

For real, what the fuck is this bullshit
Getting a lot of "fake issue, doesn't matter" replies to this post and I gotta say, it certainly matters to me that so many members of the Dem House caucus are credulous dupes.

YES THANK YOU! I was trying and failing to come up with something like this earlier. It's not the scientists at fault.
I really hate it when scientists keep saying that “we need to rebuild trust in science,” because it implies that scientists are to blame for the mistrust rather than the millions of dollars of dark money that have funded political attacks on science in order to advance a far right agenda.

Bhattacharya's newest 1-page pandemic plan forcefully rejects the GBD, his previous 1-page pandemic plan.
It's really just an admission that he's not competent enough to control a virus and not caring enough to even try.

The average American apparently has no idea how much of a positive impact our world-class research had on public health & have no idea how much misery & death will result from its destruction. I'm so fucking livid every day at the median voter's ignorance that led to this colossal fuckup.
we have PrEP because of these monkey studies. animal welfare in medical research is extremely strictly limited and regulated to ensure ethical use. there is no replacement for these animal models in biomedical research.
