Bulwark's econ editor: “Astonishing how hard this administration is working to keep people hungry. It's clear they are trying to maximize public suffering, in hopes of getting people to blame Dems for that suffering. But it's transparently the WH who's working overtime to keep the suffering going!”

Massie: “[Speaker Johnson is] trying to say the rich, powerful men who flew to Epstein Island are the victims now. The only way a ‘Christian man’ can stand up there and sell a lie like that is if he’s already decided in his head that protecting them is somehow okay.”

I just don’t see how we can pretend even for a moment that anything involving our federal government is remotely normal when the president is covering up his involvement in a child sex trafficking ring. Like, what are we doing here

Remember: The richest 1% evade over $160 billion in taxes every year.
That amount would fund SNAP for a year with money to spare.
Ask yourself who the real freeloaders are.

If your government thinks the Pope “doesn’t know what he’s talking about” when he defends migrants’ dignity, the world should see the warning sign. The US is no longer leading on human rights. It’s suppressing them.

Mr. "I Don't Take Responsibility At All" thinks the MASSIVE BLUE WAVE was because he wasn't on the ballot, not
a Major Referendum on his 2nd Term.
Turns out folks prefer feeding the hungry over building expen$ive, tacky Ballrooms.
Looking forward to the midterms... 🌊

This is what his presidency is all about.
He is a slothful greedy man.
It’s hard for me to comprehend that Americans actually support this repugnant man.
It’s about money for him and nothing for the people.
He is the Bond villain. Only a stupid version.

I can't help noticing the Supreme Court conservatives expressing the first doubt of a Trump assertion in oral arguments the day after the election day where every Republican running lost by 20 points. But they would never be swayed by such worldly things in their consideration of The Law, right?
