A trending newe phrase hath societye at sixes and sevens
When I was campaigning I always tied the actual dollar savings to policies I advocated — and I was often met with the same anger towards these programs by Republicans, because it was never about the money, it was the fictional "robbery" they envisioned by "undeserving" people.
Medicare for All would save $450B a year.

Every dollar spent on food stamps generates $1.50-$1.80 in economic activity.

Each dollar going to low-wage workers adds $1.20 to the economy overall.

It’s not about what this country can or can’t afford.

It’s about priorities.

Boy we are still using careful language about something completely and utterly illegal and a massive human rights violation
You know what I've seen consistently for years? Zohran in the community, standing out in front.

Forget Cuomo, very few politicians maintain that genuine connection to the communities they represent —he's the real deal.
At Elmhurst Hospital just before midnight with the @nynurses.bsky.social, @1199seiu.org and @dc37nyc.bsky.social workers who care for us, no matter the hour.
What's a word for gaslighting but even more blatant and stupid
It’s truly wild how dumb he thinks we all are
Yes but I have to put the Prime Directive on hold
America has never in its history held those accountable for the worst, most egregious acts of violence and corruption and suffering — from native Americans, slavery, Jim crow, Tulsa race massacre, japanese internment, Nixon etc.

We "move forward" and repeat everything.

Thank you for your attention to this matter!"

Yeah when this nightmare is over we need to build a country that doesn't collapse with the election of one insane person.

Fixing this won't be easy, and it will take more time than people realize.
Breaking on MSNBC:

Two federal prosecutors have been placed on leave at the direction of the White House after filing a sentencing memo seeking 27 months in prison for a pardoned Jan. 6 rioter who brought illegal guns and ammunition to President Obama's house in 2023.
I have been charged in a federal indictment sought by the Department of Justice.

This political prosecution is an attack on all of our First Amendment rights. I’m not backing down, and we’re going to win.
Pretty sure you will be stopped, we've done it before.
Cuomo is an asshole.
So here's Andrew Cuomo reacting to Maria Bartiromo wondering if Mamdani will "change the look of New York" and have Muslim women "completely covered up," telling her that Mamdani "doesn't understand New York culture" because he has "dual citizenship" and "he's a citizen of Uganda."
This is so stupid. Everything is stupid.
Jeffries words have to have a meeting with his emotions and get on the same page
Rich nepobrats run for office because just being rich doesn't get you the deference and fealty they crave. They want their name announced at events, they want to have TV time, they want daily affirmation of their importance — and they could give a fuck about your healthcare bills.

The official USDA site is blaming trans people for SNAP benefits expiring.
It's embarrassing that the whole world has to treat this fucking idiot with deference and diplomacy, and ignore what an utter moron he is.
Prime Minister Sanae Takaichi was holding her first meeting with U.S. President Donald Trump on Tuesday, with trade and security issues on the agenda, as Japan’s new leader looks to cultivate ties with her counterpart.
In first summit, Trump and Takaichi to talk trade and defense
The meeting is a crucial test of Takaichi’s diplomatic chops as she seeks to elevate the Japan-U.S. alliance while staving off pressure from the U.S. on defense spending.

We need to be the country we keep saying we are, not the "individualism at the expense of everything and everyone" country that we actually are.
