@onwithkaraswisher.bsky.social thanks for your pod with Scott Jennings. But—re: the debt/deficit and the big (not) beautiful bill, like just about all journalists, you did not address the tax side of the equation. People need to hear that tax cuts for superwealthy are a big reason for the deficit!

@npr.org I just heard the interview with Mike Lawler on morning edition. He referred to the “far left radical” base of the Democrats. We often hear Republicans describe Democrats as radical, left-wing, socialist, even communist. I’d love to hear a NPR ask an interview subject what that means.

At Oakland #NoKings, I asked Justin here if, as a Black man, he had particular concerns w the Trump admin's actions. Loved his answer.

Trump is behaving like Duterte; perhaps will end up in the same place, in prison at the International Criminal court

The administration‘s attempt to crack down on dissent and limit the free expression of opinions and ideas, in the wake of the murder of Charlie Kirk, is exposing the true authoritarian nature of their movement.

what I want to know is, for those like Charlie Kirk and Turning Point USA who are supporting Christian nationalism, white supremacy, “traditional” sex roles-what happens to the rest of us? What are their plans for those who are not persuaded, or are simply outside of the dominant circle?

Our Common Well-being
We have to wake up to the fact that everything is connected to everything else...Taking care of other people's safety is taking care of our own safety. It is the mind of discrimination and separation that is at the foundation of all violence and hate.

have to say that i liked this one quite a bit

…this is insane????

@mcbride.house.gov — as a former Delawarean, I just want to say how much I admire your courage, focus and political smarts. I look forward to watching you rise! Thank you for your service.

discover this morning, 538 has been eliminated, days after reporting Trump‘s favorability underwater. Their graph showed a net favorability that went from eight points positive at the start of his term to negative, in approximately six weeks. I wish I had a screenshot, but it’s gone.
