Chair Comer denied our request for an official trip to El Salvador to advocate for due process and the return of Kilmar Abrego Garcia. Pretty shameful.

Good thing I don’t need Comer’s permission to get on a plane.

You don’t think that social media can radicalize people?

The COVID pandemic began in March 2020 and officially ended in May 2023.

He doesn’t understand trade because he thinks that trade deficits can be solved via tariffs and that foreign nations pay them.

And you need to update your chart. We’re down about 10% since the date of your screenshot.

The volatility in the red circle was caused by a worldwide pandemic and related supply chain issues. The current drop has no real cause other than an old man's misunderstanding of global trade.

This is a really important point! Young men are obviously attracted to politicians who portray strength and tenacity. When Dems roll over and show their bellies at the first sign of conflict, it reinforces the idea that the party and everyone in it is weak/effeminate/low-T.

I have never believed that Democratic leadership is controlled opposition. It's conspiratorial; there are other available explanations. That said, I don't know what they'd be doing differently if they were.

Chris Hayes @chrislhayes.bsky.social · Mar 13

The institutional Democratic Party is guided by an almost pathological level of conflict avoidance in almost every direction. “What can we do to make the least number of people mad?” is just a bankrupt way to operate.

For a depressingly large number of people, “inflation” means “high prices.” They were never going to be happy unless prices actually came down.

I used to laugh at the people who claimed the Dems were controlled opposition, but it’s becoming harder and harder to argue otherwise

From a longtime AZ resident: Please, please, PLEASE vote no on the CR. You have one opportunity to use leverage this year to force the Republicans to stop breaking laws. Use it.

I can almost guarantee there were trans athletes competing 25 years ago. They just weren’t a Republican boogeyman at the time, so no one really cared.

Does Suozzi imagine that "punch, counterpunch" is what has been happening? Because from over here it looks like Trump is punching Democrats in the face and they're quietly lifting signs that say "Ouch."

Thank you. True-believer Conservatives like Kirk do not believe that Democrats should ever wield power. They view every Dem win as illegitimate. They think Democrats are a threat to the country and will do whatever it takes to prevent them gaining power. You think these people want to help you win?

When trans women are placed in men’s prisons, they’re commonly assigned to cells with aggressive cis male cellmates in order to maintain social control. They’re often raped daily. This process is so common that it has a name—“V-coding”—and is known to effectively be part of a trans woman's sentence.

I also think that a lot of Dem politicians still think of their Republican counterparts as coworkers with whom they need to have a good working relationship, not realizing that the Rs would push them into traffic given the chance.
