This afternoon I saw a 30ish-year-old guy wearing a MAGA hat and a shirt with the characters from Frozen on it.
I have been unable to stop thinking about it since.

The easiest con job Trump ever pulled was convincing his voters and the mainstream media that he's a populist.
“The Trump administration will require millions of low-income people to reapply for food stamps…”
Handing out billions to himself and his friends like candy and raiding the treasury but now wants to squeeze the poorest among us.

We need to know why there are so many typos in the Epstein emails. Do all these people have fat thumbs? Do they have the world's worst autocorrect? Are the masters of the universe actually borderline illiterate?
I demand congressional hearings on this.

In case you're wondering if any MSNBC hosts have called for Chuck Schumer to step down, no, they haven't. In fact, Lawrence O'Donnell doubled down on his defense of Schumer tonight by condescendingly telling viewers, "Let's talk about your feelings."

One of the talking points I keep seeing from Democrats is that part of the deal is that it will "ensure federal workers receive back pay" but that's the existing law!
That's not something you've won in negotiations. That's just the letter of the law. You don't get to claim that as a win.
