Undecided voter: “How can someone like you convince me that my vote matters”
James Talarico: “They wouldn't be trying so hard to stop you from voting if your vote didn't matter — Texas is one of the hardest places to vote in the entire country. That is by design”

Rob Reiner either made your favorite movie, or made somebody you know’s favorite movie. If you’re a Californian, he’s also part of the reason you or your friends can get married. He has changed more lives for the better than this asshole commenting on him ever did.

A million Muslims live in New York City. We belong here, as does every other New Yorker.
This is vile Islamophobia from the Councilwoman and it has no place in our city.

Payrolls fell -105k in October and rose +64k in November. August and September payrolls were also revised down a total of 33k.
These data suggest VIRTUALLY NO EMPLOYMENT GROWTH since April ("Liberation day").
Unemployment is now up to 4.6%.
This is a tricky report, so stay tuned.

The older I get, the more my politics mature from childish, naïve beliefs like "the world is complicated and leaders have to make hard decisions" to more serious, adult principles like "hurting people is bad and helping people is good."

This is disturbing, devastating, heartbreaking.
Women are half of the population yet don't have the research to make informed health decisions. Those of us who are women’s health warriors need to dig in, channel our righteous anger, and ensure women’s health research isn’t obliterated.

Trump's federal funding cuts are shutting down studies on Alzheimer’s care, uterine fibroids and pregnancy risks — all because they focus on gender.
What happens to health research when 'women' is a banned word?

It would’ve been nice if Greene had realized this before she amplified and endorsed calls for executing Nancy Pelosi and Barack Obama.

Let’s take a step back. Never in the history of this country — during a war or an emergency shutdown — has the federal government ever stopped funding SNAP benefits for our most vulnerable.

Oh, and don't forget Trump is going to send us all a check for $2,000 -- likely a small fraction of what many people overpaid due to Trump's tariffs. It's the old, the check will be in the mail and you receive it just in time for mid-terms scam. My vote is not for sale!
Saturday's Thought - I see The Felon is worried about rising prices. What is his solution? Lower the tariffs he illegally imposed and tell us - See prices are going down thanks to me. Are Americans so stupid they don't see what is going on?
