someone tell the California ACLU who is disproportionately more likely to be killed in traffic accidents including those involving people under the influence
The California ACLU is staunchly opposed to the ignition interlock device program and is a big reason that it has not been expanded. Despite the fact that California heavily subsidizes the cost for low-income drunk drivers, the ACLU says that the program is a form of "racialized wealth extraction."

this is 100% accurate and why the mainstream media constantly downplays negative stories about steve bannon
Bannon is a source for every White House reporter in town. Trading access for protection.

we should regulate both guns and cars the way we regulate Sudafed
After a mass shooting sometimes you'll get people saying we should regulate guns like we do cars. No! We should regulate guns like we *should* regulate cars.

The problem, again, is elected Dems & candidates DON'T actually spend very much time at all talking about these things. Right-wing media does. And Dems ultimately have no control over what right-wing media is going to talk about.
Duh. Those of us on the ground last year actually speaking with middle class/working class voters and who heard from these voters every single day the same - “Trump is an asshole, but Democrats are out of touch” - could’ve saved my new political party a lot of time & money producing this “report.”👇

Q: Are you concerned that the Russian president is trying to buy himself more time?

TRUMP: Yeah I am. But I've been playing all my life by the best of them. And I came out really well.

seems notable they're not with the standard "i haven't seen it" defense they use for anything Trump says or posts

Instead they're saying, "actually i've seen the Hitler jokes and the photos and none of them are a big deal"
Q: Are you worried about extremist pro-Hitler sentiment among young Republicans?

JOHNSON: No. I don't know who any of these people are. I've never heard of them. Somebody posted a photo of me standing next to these guys wearing tuxedos. It was at the inauguration, people were coming up for selfies

I understand the justifiable criticism here, but Thune doing a 1:1 with MSNBC and not blindly slobbering Trump is actually more than people are giving it credit for.

This is the sort of "cracks appearing in the party"
THUNE: Fund the government the old fashioned way -- I don't think you need rescissions

VITALI: Have you said to the WH, maybe don't do another rescissions package? Feels like it's poisoned the well

THUNE: It's in everybody's best interest, including the WH, to do a normal appropriations process

i'm sorry did they really give charlie kirk's resolution the white supremacist number?
During debate on a resolution to honor the late Charlie Kirk, Wisconsin Senate President Mary Felzkowski (R-Tomahawk) calls Sen. Chris Larson (D-Milwaukee) out of order and shuts off his mic.

so many layers to this story, but the most interesting to me is that it's sourced to FIVE (5) *current* administration officials... for whatever reason, the knives are out for this guy
i have a lot of questions about the chain of events here, though one of the less important ones is “why the fuck are these people all staying at ritz-carltons”
"30-year-old conservative lawyer and activist who is Trump’s nominee to lead the Office of Special Counsel, which deals with federal employee whistleblower complaints and discrimination" cancelled his colleague's hotel room so she would be forced to stay with him.

Republican presidents & politicians call Democratic presidents & politicians traitors, say their voters aren't American, denigrate their businesses & jobs as bullshit pointless bureaucracy, & insult every marker of their way of life without question.
This is precisely the sickness right here: "The Democratic Party should make fan fiction podcasts say 'woman' again."

How? Why? Do right-wing podcasts ever say anything untoward that Republicans should address?

Everything goes back to the myth that Dems are responsible for petty aesthetic gripes

Evaluate honestly the number of Dem candidates, at any level in any state, who are using terms like "birthing person" or "heteronormative" to the number using phrases like "bipartisan solutions" or "reaching across the aisle" and tell me which language is tin-eared and alienating to normal people.
Scoop: Third Way is circulating a memo, shared first with @playbookdc, featuring a new blacklist of words Dems shouldn’t use.

Spot on. The fact of the Republicans’ vast and noisy farm league of “talent” is thanks to a handful of very rich people throwing gobs of money at any promising memer, podcaster, substacker, and video sting hooligan

The answer is [drum roll] money. And the willingness to spread it around
Almost all of the smartest liberal and left wing writers and reporters I know have basically been reduced to doing that work as a mostly-unpaid hobby in addition to their actual job (if they have a job).

Just a few rich Democrats could put their money where their mouth is and fix this.
