Biden's last full year in office showed jobs growing by 1,459,000. His last full month in office saw jobs grow by 237,000 alone. Trump's entire first year in office total saw jobs grow by 181,000. Are we winning yet?

The right has not changed under Trump. He's just given them permission to be who they are in the open. They've let the hood slip, so to speak, and helped us remember who they are.

Color me surprised.
One detail getting lost in the coverage of Don Lemon's arrest?
The church at the center of the case has ties to the Christian nationalist movement, including the “TheoBros," a loose network of mostly millennial, extremely online Christian nationalist pastors, podcasters, and shitposters.

Notice how the GOP didn't wring it's hands and say that this bill has little chance to pass the Senate so why bother? Democrats could learn from that. The fight matters as much as the results. Maybe more. People need to know you have their backs.
