Women need to have more children for Matt Goodwin but if they have more than two you can't get any state help and the women can't be Jewish also we will tax the childless women.

the officers are only issued energy weapons when there’s actually an energy-weapon-involved emergency. Which is good, because the fewer humans running around with weapons the better.

Hillbilly Elegy was an eugenicist lament about the genetic inevitability of Appalachian poverty disguised as a right neoliberal critique of the welfare state
It's funny that nobody remembers Hillbilly Elegy was a right neoliberal critique of Appalachian working class white culture

Just to be clear...I am not saying that the only reason they play up religion is competing for evangelicals. Was just using that as an example of a rationale I have heard from folks about why we need more religion from candidates. More broader point is...no we don't.

I regularly see people wondering how it's possible that there are so many musicians and writers and film makers and artists from a tiny nation like Iceland.

And the answer is really simple: State funding for art education and artists. I literally get a salary from the government to write books.
I’m constantly astounded at the sheer level of artistic production coming out of Iceland. Novels, movies, music. Amazing.

You'd *still* rather have Fetterman in the Senate than Oz.

You'd WAY rather have Cortez Masto than Adam fucking Laxalt, who's insane.

Corey Booker? Are we pretending he's a problem now?

Newsom is a slime - and still a better governor than Brian Dahle would've been

THINK! CRITICALLY!
No, let’s say the quiet part out loud:

Vote Blue, No Matter Who itself has been a failure of a test. Very clearly, we need to better evaluate politicians we’re supporting blindly.

John Fetterman, Graham Platner & his tattoo, Catherine Cortez Masto, Corey Booker, GAVIN NEWSOM?!?

Think! Critically!
Chuck Schumer spectacularly failed the “vote blue no matter who” test and should be hounded from office

No, Donald Trump cannot implement voting changes via Executive Order. He may try but if he does, he we will sue and we will win.
BARTIROMO: Could the president just implement an executive order to get the SAVE Act across the finish line going into the midterms?

REP. MARK HARRIS: That's a great question. I don't know the answer to that, quite frankly.

It’s a fascistic, pernicious question and everyone should know the constitutional answer is no.

Real insane part of this clip is Hassett saying in the beginning that NY Fed researchers “should be disciplined” for…writing an economics paper that comes to a conclusion the president dislikes? A conclusion that matches the vast majority of economic evidence on tariffs? Nuts
Hassett: "The basic theory of President Trump's tariffs is sure, we're importing stuff from China, but we've got producers in US who make stuff, maybe at alightly higher place. If we bring stuff home, create demand, then that will hurt China & drive up wages & American consumers will be better off."

What the hell is Jerusalem even trying to say here? The one policy that majorities support, civil rights protections for trans people, were successfully stripped away in Iowa and that's a viable path forward because? It also ignores that Bostock is already federal law but the EEOC will not enforce.

These people never grapple with the reality that the right not only outspends trans people 20:1 but they also control social media algorithms and many legacy media institutions.

They never ask the questions why public opinion changed and why certain issues are so central to the debate.

I want to emphasize that in nearly all of the cases involving big-rig crashes that she's referring to, the person was legally authorized to work *at the time they got their CDL,* and that's why it was issued. It's not like there was fraud.
BARTIROMO: How do we know a driver's license is going to be adequate if you have stories they're giving driver's licenses to illegals?

MOSKOWITZ: Again, there's no evidence non-citizens are voting in our elections. None.

ah greg, you need to understand that this is just the work of an energetic executive! as john roberts so patiently explained to us, the president needs to be able to dirext the activities of the DOJ to preserve executive authority and separation of powers!
Appalling: During Trump's effort to indict Dems for the video warning against carrying out illegal orders, one of their lawyers asked prosecutors to say what statute was allegedly violated, I'm told. They failed to name one. Then they tried to indict anyway.

When Trump is gone and a new government is formed, that government needs to treat The Heritage Foundation, The Federalist Society, Leonard Leo, and the Koch organization as enemy agents engaged in ongoing operations to overthrow America's democracy.

the overseer of project 2025 is telling you out loud that every inch you cede on trans rights is part of the plan to create a white christian fascist state
Kevin Roberts, President of The Heritage Foundation, claims that evidence suggests a correlation between undergoing Trans Medical Care and acts of violence.

He states Heritage's public policy solution is to ban it for all ages and they're willing to work towards this goal on an incremental basis.
