So since the election this song has been in my head, in my dreams once a day. It's going to be a long four years. Hopefully it's only four.

I feel like a broken record, but I have to keep saying it over and over again: a farmer bailout won’t do much of anything because the market is gone. There will be no incentive to plant next year.

The bailout will help payoff farmer debt to the banks. That’s all.

Every politician, every celebrity, every economist, every man-in-the-street who has a microphone shoved in his or her face by a media personality for an interview should ask unscripted...

"Why is your news organization NOT reporting on the president's mental decline?!"

Every single interview!

Apparently, the only difference between Nazi Germany and MAGA is that Nazi Germany was center-aligned whereas MAGA tends to be left-justified. #TextFormatting
The ACA (Obamacare) is only available to AMERICANS or anyone legally in this country. It is not even accessible without the proper legal paperwork. So the BS about system abuse by 'illegal' individuals is complete crap.

And I should know, I was in corp healthcare for over 25+ years.
Republicans are insisting on a budget that'll kick millions off healthcare and raise costs for the rest of us. If they dropped these cruel demands, the Trump Shutdown would end today.
The ACA (Obamacare), while expensive, gave more Americans access to healthcare than any other time in the 20th & 21st century

The ACA included an expansion of Medicaid. It included preventative tests, it removed life-time $ limits.

And Republican Leadership wants this to go away. Ask them why.
Republicans have shut down the government to take healthcare away from millions of Americans and give Trump a blank check for his illegal power grab.

Right-wingers are calling for my arrest. You know why? Because they know I’m the only candidate in my race who will actually stand up to ICE and Trump.

And they’re right.
As someone that worked in a Fortune 300 health insurance company at the corporate level for over 10 years, we f*cking need national health insurance.
WSJ, Page One:

“.. the fastest rate of increase since at least 2011 ..”
This.
Charlie Kirk did not approve of empathy so let’s move on, it’s what he would want. 🥰😌

It's one thing to lament loss of life and decry political violence, but this revisionism is shockingly dishonest and downright offensive to the millions of people Kirk targeted and upon whom he inflicted pain and misery. The man was a liar and a bigot who gladly hurt others to advance himself.
The best way to honor Charlie's memory is to continue his work: engage with each other, across ideology, through spirited discourse. In a democracy, ideas are tested through words and good-faith debate — never through violence.

The Heritage Foundation released the following words from the organization's president, Kevin Roberts, about the death of Charlie Kirk: “His martyrdom must be a turning point for our country.”

Yes, he said "martyrdom." Remember, we don't even know who killed the man or why.

Elizabeth Warren on people who say Dems needs to tone down their rhetoric: "Oh, please. Why don't you start with the president of the United States? And every ugly meme he's posted and every ugly word."

DC statehood is now an imperative. No more dicking around. Next Dem majority, get it done immediately.
At least once a week, I take a moment and ponder what the world would look like right now if @kamalaharris.com had won the election.
This timeline blows.

Odd, how South Park is covering Kristi Noem and her ICE hooligans more accurately than The New York Times.

A sad moment for the Senate and the country.

Republicans just confirmed Jeanine Pirro as U.S. Attorney for the District of Columbia.

Yes, the same Judge Jeanine that even Fox News said was “crazy” and had to take off the air.

How can they vote to confirm these people?
Chop, chop Author types. You have arranging to do.

BREAKING: New documents and testimony make it clear that Emil Bove urged DOJ officials to defy court orders – then misled the Judiciary Committee about it.

The facts are disqualifying. And the timeline is damning.

Let's break it down. 🧵
