@stephruhle.bsky.social and people also know when they see people at their work places being laid off and they know they are next. You forgot that one on your show.

They are simply projecting again. It's getting so very old and stale.

The #NoKings rallies are celebrations of democracy and civil rights. They are defiance against authoritarianism. And yes, opposition to fascism. It's No Kings, not No Presidents.

If you think that means we hate America, that says more about how you view America than it does about us.

And they are all in lockstep. Simpson and Fulcher too. 2 of the Idaho embarrassments.

Yes. I spent years in a bad marriage being gaslit daily. That is what this feels like except it might even be worse because it's coming from everywhere.

It is. I can't focus or get anything done. Walking around in a fog. This is not good for any of us.

I took my dog for a walk after reading this, hoping it would burn off some anger and disgust. It did not work. Still pissed.

Nothing says “America First” like letting another country put an Air Force base in Idaho

Same here. Sadly, it is probably more healthy and normal than attempting to interact with people who live in alternate realities.

I'm tired of hearing Republicans say they'll deal with the health care crisis they created "later."

Later is TOO LATE.

If Republicans could rush to give billionaires tax breaks this summer, we can save families from seeing their health care premiums more than double RIGHT NOW.

No. At least we are spared one more embarrassment today. Unless, of course, he chooses to attack which I fully expect he will do.

I'm in tears at 7:15 in the morning. Tears of joy for Maria Corina and Venezuela. Beautiful and so very deserving! The struggle continues.

“This is a movement…This is an achievement of a whole society…I am just one person.”

The beautiful humility of Venezuelan pro-democracy leader, Maria Corina Machado, the 2025 Nobel Peace Prize recipient.
