He’s a slippery little dude. Always seems to sense pressure and escape before the big guys can tee off on him. Underrated aspect of his game.

Why?

Well, I guess it’s never too early to post this again —

Republican Senator Thom Tillis: What do I tell 663,000 people and two years or three years when President Trump breaks his promise by pushing them off of Medicaid. Trump's advisers in the White House are not telling him that the effect of this bill is to break a promise.

Some thoughts about Black history’s current fragile place in the national psyche, and a book you should add to your summer reading list.

Yeah, somebody snatched his candy out of that bill. He’s too pissed for it to be on principle alone..

My 82-year-old mom was ready, pen in hand, to purchase some primo holistic blood pressure miracle supplements based on a very persuasive testimonial from Ai Bishop TD Jakes until I showed her it was a Facebook ad post originating in Albania.

By the Numbers: House Bill Takes Health Coverage Away From Millions of People and Raises Families’ Health Care Costs | Center on Budget and Policy Priorities The House reconciliation bill now taking shape would take health coverage away from millions of people and dramatically raise health care costs for millions more.

Nearly 14M people could lose their health coverage under the House plan with more facing higher costs. Cuts to #Medicaid and #ACA marketplace coverage would make it harder to afford care for chronic conditions or emergencies. Here are some of the impacts: www.cbpp.org/research/hea...

Her Business Was Thriving. Then Came the Tariffs. Podcast Episode · The Daily · 04/14/2025 · 33m

This episode of The Daily incredibly enlightening. A small business owner—a veteran—who makes baby gear breaks down what tariffs are doing to her company, and how impossible it is to plot any alternative future with the chaos that Trump is causing podcasts.apple.com/us/podcast/t...

This seems the constitutional separation-of-powers equivalent of him giving John Roberts a swirly in the 8th grade boys bathroom.

Very informative chart from Washington Post

If you are the European Union or any of the other countries, what exactly is your motivation to cut any tariff deal with these stock market numbers plunging? As they fall, your bargaining position strengthens. They’re all just gonna sit back and watch us twist in the wind

Morons leading cowards. Got it.

My 82-year-old mom, who thinks some shady cabal of the feds, her neighbors and a dude at the Food Lion parking lot have tapped her phone & TV, looking right-er by the day.

And what might be the straightest line path to getting Citizens United overturned?

Like, that was my entire point of bringing MAGA up 🤷🏽‍♂️

I thought I made it pretty clear I’m saying if you don’t like what it is, take it over and change it.

We’re talking past each other here. Bottom line: I don’t care if Dem party is run by Bernie bros or centrists at this point, it just needs to win. Fight it out. Whichever flavor wins, everybody quit whining and push dammit. Stakes are too high for purity tests anymore.

I don’t know…I think if the hard left didn’t have so much contempt for the Dem party it’d be a whole different ballgame. Maga never expressed that toward the GOP, just the Bushites at the helm. Hard to fight for a party you don’t believe in. And as you say, 3rd party’s a no go. And so here we are.

MAGA did it. The proof of concept is right there. Only difference is see is that they saw the GOP as a valid means to their ends, & all they had to do was get hold of its steering wheel. You see the Dem party as the problem. When you can see it as your solution, as redeemable, you’ll find the way.

The only way he becomes the genuine choice is you organize like hell and you make him inevitable. See Trump and his maga minions vs GOP traditionalists circa 2015. Why is this side of the aisle satisfied with “it’s too hard” and “they cheated!” as the answers to the test?

I’d take issue with your use of “right wing” there. More like center-right. The average voter votes on pocketbook issues and doesn’t much like the hard right or the hard left. (Defund the police and Project 2025 both polled terribly)

“No left leaning choices???”

The voting public has been shifting rightward since Reagan. The Clinton and Obama eras being the only large pauses in that. Imperfect though they both were, would you have preferred the GOP be in charge those 16 years? Right. Then maybe think and hope idealistically, but vote as a pragmatist!

You haven’t learned anything 😩
