First the algorithm said to come for the federal employees, and I didn't speak up because I wasn't a federal employee. Then the algorithm said to come for Medicaid, and - wait a minute, why would an algorithm not come for the tech subsidies, something's weird here...

"Republican senators had the chance to matter, and they chose not to step up. Instead they are enabling a national tragedy. It’s time for them to be exposed, called out, and defeated." Never too early.

Good morning and Happy Thursday to everyone who agrees with General Milley that Americans do not owe our allegiance to a King, Queen, or a wannabe dictator. We owe our allegiance to the Constitution.
Fuck the nonsense trump says about being a king.

A common metric for anticipating how much an incumbent will earn in the popular vote, should they run for re-election, is to use their approval rating. Biden had a 36% approval rating in July of 2024. Harris won 48%. If the Democrats weren't addicted to defeat, they would put their money on her.

May I suggest: Don’t say “if” we survive, but “when” we survive.
Let’s not grant these rapists and pillagers power over us; they’re counting on our doubts and fears to accelerate their ugly plot. They’re counting on resignation and despair.
