This shouldn’t be controversial.
I think we can all agree that blueberry (made with fresh blueberries) is objectively the best pie.
Ok this take is unhinged BUT I have my own version of this, which is that I actually hate pumpkin pie.

This is a point that needs repeating. It’s fiscally conservative to house the homeless, it’s also the right thing to do.
Anderson Cooper: So it's more expensive to have a chronically homeless person living on the streets than it is to actually subsidize an apartment for them?

Answer: Yes, we’re paying more as taxpayers to walk past that person on the street and do nothing… #HousingFirst

Remember a few weeks ago when Trump brought in a couple bulldozers and demolished about a third of the White House? That was weird.

Right now it seems like mainstream Dems don’t stand for anything other than “we’re not Trump” They need to stand for something, take a popular risk and betray your corporate overlords.

Two or three days ago the president just menacingly told a female reporter “Quiet, quiet piggy.”
It’s not being repeated endlessly on all media as it should, there’s barely a ripple. Dark times my friends.

It’s pretty simple.

When you do a huge armed midnight raid on an apartment building rounding up and terrorizing children and later find out there were no criminals there everyone involved resigns in shame and we have loud showy Congressional hearings.

Hey @support.bsky.team What is going on with Sarah Kendzior? Why was she suspended with no explanation? Are you doing this to lesser-known people that we’re never going to find out about?

Whoa -- Sen. Durbin went to up Leader Thune during the vote last night to tell him that on the shutdown vote and ACA promise that "8 of us are sticking our neck out that you're going to keep your word. I hope you will. He said 'I assure you I will,'" Durbin says just now

American politics makes a lot more sense when you realize that the GOP is afraid of pissing off the GOP base, and the Dems are afraid of pissing off the GOP base, but neither party is afraid of pissing off the Dem base.

ICE increased weapons spending by 700% — including purchases of chemical weapons and guided missile warheads.

ICE was always going to be Trump’s private military to deploy domestically against Americans.
