‼️I BRING GOOD NEWS & BAD NEWS‼️ Western Wisconsin — Congressman Derrick Van Orden’s district — is not turning out in the numbers we need. Democrat Susan Crawford has already stated she will redraw congressional maps if she’s elected. So, if Western Wisconsin does NOT turn

Many defenders of NPR would be apoplectic if the government were to fund such competitors as Fox News. Ironically, Fox News appears more diverse than NPR and has more Democratic viewers than CNN or MSNBC...thehill.com/opinion/congre…

*the only thing that distinguishes Social Security from a private Ponzi Scheme: you are not forced by law to invest in a private Ponzi Scheme.

This is what has worried me about the Ukraine war from the start.

To answer your questions, yes, I saw. No, I’m not going to hold a grudge over it. I’ve defended Vance many times (including today before this popped off), and I’ll remain fair-minded. Disagreement isn’t the end of the world. Nothing else to really say about it except that I’m

It's unreal watching us castrate ourselves for the benefit of our enemies. Maddening.

“Skin-folk that are not our kin-folk.” “Married a white woman and now you’re whitewashed.” This is open racism from a sitting member of Congress and face of the Democratic Party, and that’s apparently just fine with the press.

Does the ghetto-trash cosplayer know that Ilhan Omar is married to a white guy? And what does that say about Kamala Harris, who is also famously married to a white guy. Or Patrick Mahomes? Married to a white gal, last I checked.

Imagine a world in which Harvard Law profs had denounced Obama a decade ago when he said "I have a pen and a phone." The timeline of the past decade would be different. But they're contemptible, unprincipled, partisan careerists, and their words mean nothing.

Sunny The drone-like reactions to Vance’s tweet show that the right has every bit the NPC problem that the left has.

Random thought: who adds more value to a society- a HS educated carpenter or plumber building a house for a private developer or a publicly funded attorney suing to stop the project from being built over arcane environmental laws?

Thing is that Americans generally approve of a lot of the other stuff Trump’s admin is doing. 58% support the deportation efforts. 53% support admin on immigration. Still has 50% overall approval. But voters directly blaming tariffs for higher prices.

The administration can say “the elites!” until it’s blue in the face, but it won’t change the fact that tariffs aren’t at all popular, that those pushing them are wealthy ideologues, and that Trump is at serious risk of blowing his second term by forgetting why he was elected.

The good news is that if you shout at Bonchie a little more, this will all go away, and, suddenly, the approach will become popular, because, as Joe Biden’s presidency showed, belligerent engagement on Twitter is a perfect proxy for real life.

Let me help explain Trump's love for tariffs, putting lefties in charge of health care and labor, and lack of interest in traditional social issues: He came of political age as a 1980s northern Democrat and barely changed. Democrats just moved left. He's an old school Democrat.

Look - I'm not saying that there's definitely a connection between Trump playing a round of golf with a Finn, and then saying he's pissed off at Russia the next day. I'm just saying that there's definitely a connection.

The thing is, even you like the argument for Trump’s extremely broad tariff agenda—which, I’m told, is that we need to “restructure the entire economy”—the idea that the president should be able to do this on his own, day to day, is constitutionally insane.

White House promises that next week, it will impose the largest peacetime tax increase in America history outside of World War II - $6 trillion over the decade. Middle and lower earners hit hardest. Indefensible that Congress handed presidents the power to do this unilaterally.

Taking a break from Twitter* for a while. *I still refuse to call it X.
