I don’t get asked to do as much TV these days. Here’s why. If CNN asked me to analyze Trump’s Davos “speech”, I would’ve said “Why analyze his speech? It’s pointless. Every word he uttered was a lie.” CNN wouldn’t like that take.👇 open.substack.com/pub/socialcont…open.substack.com/pub/socialco...ay
Did you know that over 1.3M active duty service members and veterans rely on SNAP benefits to feed themselves and their families?
Now you know.
Such a great analogy!
“The Left” and “the Right” aren’t real.
They’re made-up clubs, invented and sold to the public by the people in power…
and by the loudest people with the most to gain.

Second Weak Jobs Report Undercuts Trump’s Claims of a Booming Economy
After a bad employment report in August, Trump fired the official in charge of the numbers. This month’s data was just as disappointing.
Remember: The recipe for economic growth isn’t tax cuts for the rich. It’s investment in our people — in health care, infrastructure and education — to build a strong middle class.
You don't grow the economy through trickle-down nonsense.

Nope. The exact opposite. I wish for Trump to fail BECAUSE I wish for America to succeed. What Trump is doing - his stupid tariffs, his cruel deportations, his traitorous siding with Putin - will all hurt America. I don’t want to hurt America. So of course I want Trump to fail.
I saw someone genuinely irritated that Taylor Swift fans are having some moments of joy these last couple of days despite the horrors of the world, I want to reassure that person that when the Taylor Swift fans are done having their joy the horrors will still be there, don't worry, they can catch up
This is exactly why Dems get their ass handed to them by Trump's world. They have no clue how to leverage social media algos to their advantage.

The President of the United States went on CNBC today and said: He won the 2020 election (he didn’t). He has a 71% approval rating (he doesn’t). The jobs numbers were rigged (they weren’t).
I could say something funny here, but I won’t. It’s just so damn dangerous to have him in the White House.
"The more I learn about genocide, the more shocked and embarrassed I am by my own ignorance. Once I actively tried to be better informed about genocide, the picture in Gaza became terrifyingly clear."
Friday night Tequila tweet: Fuck the only candidate for president in American history who lost an election and refused to concede. And fuck the only president in American history who fired a statistician bcuz he didn’t like the jobs numbers.
He’s the biggest sore loser in human history. Fuck him.
This should be a Five Alarm Fire on every G'ddamned media outlet in the world.
I very rarely post a link to someone else's newsletter...as I have my own. This, however...is a MUST see.

If I were the Commanders, I would simply not pay the fourth-best WR in the NFC East (Lamb, AJB, Nabers) or possibly the sixth best (DeVonta Smith/Pickens honorable recognition) top-10 money at the position.
It's James Talarico, i've watched other videos of his, he's very effective. Rising star in the Democratic Party.
James Talarico, pastor, Texas state rep.
My God.
This hit so hard.
Because you know what they're going to choose.
And it makes you feel like, as a species, we may be irredeemable. So many of us find just doing the basic decent thing an utter impossibility.
The best day ever for 80 street dogs in Thailand.
In memory of 5 dogs we've lost over the last month including Big Tea / Kerry and the poisoned dogs.
What a day they had
Think about what the GOP is revealing with their attempt to suddenly change the Congressional maps: they know their agenda is so unpopular that they're going to lose unless something changes.
Of course, what they should be changing is their policies, not the maps.
ATTN: If you’re a DoJ employee and have knowledge of the missing minute (or 2:53) of Epstein jail video, feel free to reach out to me via signal (in my bio). I’ll keep you anonymous- as I have the thousands of current and former federal workers who have sent me tips. Please share this widely. 🙏🏻
A different way of practicing politics is possible - where we vigorously fight for what’s right while inviting people into our coalition, rather than pushing them away.
A reminder: The perpetrators in the Epstein files are Oligarchs, and so are the ones protecting them.
I don't think most Americans realize how hard tariffs are about to hit them. The combination of 1) escalating tariffs, 2) companies slowly passing the cost to consumers, and 3) the repeal of the de minimis exemption in the Big Beautiful Bill, a lot stuff will be more expensive in 2027.
