Not ONE of my Republican colleagues has supported my efforts to raise the minimum wage to $15/hr. And about 90% of them want to cut Social Security. Anybody who is under the illusion that the Republicans care two wits for the working class is terribly wrong.

At some point the left coalition needs to develop the ability to simply point and laugh, to *mock* bad-faith arguments. Outraged harumphing & endless "factchecks" are exactly what RWers want. It puts them in control of the direction & tone of discourse. Don't give it to them.

This is a doozy. A new legal filing reveals that Erskine College secretly owned the for-profit company that ran 3 schools its affiliated Charter Institute was tasked with overseeing. amp.thestate.com/news/local/eduā€¦

JD Vance: conservatives do not have the support of people, society, or business so we have to overthrow them in some way. Is that not a tad treasonous? šŸ‘€ #Republicans

Eliminating the right to choose is one of the few campaign promises Donald Trump actually kept. That tells us a lot about what he would do next, if given the chance.

Iā€™m confounded by the lack of news analysis on trump telling Xians they wonā€™t have to vote again. Are editors so afraid he actually does mean it that they donā€™t know how to cover it? Get a grip #media At least we can depend on Alexandra Petri šŸ«” washingtonpost.com/opinions/2024/ā€¦

Here is how to write it: Donald Trump, in a shocking display of incoherence and break with reality, held a press conference that will reraise fears of his mental competency. Among the blatant lies: His rallies were bigger than MLK, Gov. Walz wants to kill babies and he is ahead

ā€œEvery network has the capacity...to run a live scroll at the side of the screen...fact checking many of Donald Trumpā€™s lies as he speaks...Itā€™s 2016 all over again. The same mistakes are being made. I have never seen an industry slower at learning from its own stupid mistakes.ā€

Hereā€™s the whole thing. What I said tonight was a muted version of what I was actually feeling, even when I threw the script which surprised me too.
