@msnbc.com @stephruhle.bsky.social @jenpsaki.msnbc.com @chrislhayes.bsky.social Would someone correct MAGA misinformation re. the shutdown? What the Repubs passed wasn’t a clean cr. A clean cr keeps the gov’t funded at existing levels w/out incorporating new policies and program cuts into the cr.

A philosopher has hitherto only interpreted a diaper in various ways; the point, however, is to change it.

@maddow.msnbc.com All due respect, your anger over the use of “populism” was misplaced. There’s a lot of research that shows that there is right-wing, red-pill form of populism that is linked to authoritarian movements, even if it is “plutocratic populism.”
