Stocks surged more than 24 percent in 2024, even as Americans fretted over the economy. Of course, you’d never know that from the media coverage during the months leading up to the election.

Time zones are fascinating. Australia is already in 2025, Europe is still 2024, and the USA is currently in 1939.

If you want to understand why healthcare pricing is horrific, the first thing to know is that our system puts 100% of the credit risk for deductibles, copays and co-insurance on hospitals and doctors. That's insane.
We have turned them into Sub Prime Lenders 🧵

Really weird thing to say as you sit in front of a wall covered in flags
Trump's nominee for Defense Secretary, Pete Hegseth: "The left and progressives used allegiance to state, they used patriotism as a vehicle to untether us from timeless truth, from the Bible. The cross and the bible were replaced by a flag and a pledge.”

So when we remove birthright citizenship can we go by the mother? Because:
Don Jr was born in 1977
Ivanka was born in 1981
Eric was born in 1984
Ivana became a US citizen in 1988.
Barron was born in March 2006
Melania became a US citizen in July 2006.
Trump’s entire family would be deported.

It’s frankly weird to live in a country where an unelected jackass who owns a social media platform is constantly making pronouncements about what government programs he plans to cut, but I have a feeling that weird is going to be the new normal soon.

The only reason why President Biden is considering the "unprecedented" step of issuing preemptive pardons is because y'all took the unprecedented step of electing a convicted criminal as president who has made it clear he will target his political enemies.

Dictators don’t follow the rules. And we all have seen that GOP make up new rules to follow when it’s convenient, like McConnell and SCOTUS nominations.

Nope. Democrats keep bringing a rule book to a street fight. We will not win if we keep doing that.

Call me crazy but I don’t think Trump or his Supreme Court care about the rules.
Here’s a strong argument that the “House cannot collude with the president to deprive the Senate of its constitutional power to advise and consent on appointments.”

No, Trump Can’t Just ‘Dismiss’ the Senate
The threat from House Republicans should be seen and called out for what it is: an autocratic move that is not just unlawful but contemptuous of constitutionalism.

Good morning and Happy Friday to everyone who has paid into Social Security their entire adult life and is determined to make sure Republicans keep their filthy fucking hands off of our benefits.
Same goes for our Medicare and the Affordable Care Act.

As a congressman, nominating young people for military academies is the best part of the job. But I got to go flying with one who is all grown up now! Amazing full circle.
