Mike Johnson just threatened to potentially extort California by adding “conditions” to wildfire disaster relief aid.
He said Republicans might attach unrelated things to the funding, like Trump’s demand to raise the debt ceiling.

Just realized we can save America if we all pretend Elon Musk is cool and funny. It’s like the peoples of Middle Earth quietly agreeing to lie to Sauron that his ska band rips so he’ll call off the orcs.

MAGA voters - especially those who are rural whites, middle class, and low income - depend on USPS for medication. Small businesses depend on it for work. So when Trump privatizes it, raises the prices so his billionaires can make money, how are they going to afford to use it?
Whoopsie!

After I got my doctorate in health admin, I could have taken a cushy job atop a corporate health firm & gotten rich off denying claims, but instead, I chose a low-paying civil service job to help care for Veterans & the Military. So don't give me that "he was only doing his job" crap.

I’m wondering if schools and places of worship are ready for raids of undocumented students and worshippers. I can’t even imagine not trying to shield people.

“Don’t feed the trolls” also extends to bad opinion pieces in papers of record.
They run them bc people react to them the most.
If we stop linking to bad columns and instead post thinkers we find valuable (& generate convo around it), incentives change.
It’s not easy and takes constant practice!
