I never had any doubt. And he doesn't view them as a negotiating position. He genuinely doesn't think we should import things from other countries/people should pay through the nose to do so.

I can assure everyone that we ran this ad.

The biggest lesson from '24 - and a lesson I have seen no pundit touch - is that lying works. "They are eating dogs and cats" did not hurt Trump a bit in the end. Amazing this goes undiscussed.

IRS funding included in the Inflation Reduction Act helped modernize similarly outdated systems while raising revenue!

This is very obviously untrue. Trump did not gain 20 points in Queens because of the Democratic base stayed home. The massive shifts in the voting behavior of Hispanic, college-educated, and working-class voters since 2012 cannot be explained by changes in turnout.

The simple reality of the past decade is the country has done what progressives wanted for decades: Voter turnout has skyrocketed, bringing more people into the political process, and the electorate is polarizing along class lines, transcending race. The one problem: both of

The president elect is telling everybody he’s going to do illegal things and every day the people on this website go “well don’t worry, that’s illegal”…but that’s literally why im worried

Last call

Part of the reason Sarah McBride being in Congress is good is b/c the lack of decorum she is putting herself in front of will radicalize a class of Democratic members of Congress + staff to defend the rights of Trans people. Not a silver bullet or a shortcut, but a solid tactic.

they’re doing this so you ignore everything else

Congresswoman Nancy Mace has tweeted about trans people *18 times* in the past 12 hours. But I was told it was the *Democrats* who were “obsessed with gender politics” 🤔

Hey capitol press corps: It's not that hard to say "trans women" instead of adopting the transphobic dog whistle that Nancy Mace is using.

This makes Craig Fuller 🛩🚛🚂⚓️'s auditioning for the role on this site even funnier

Egg prices going up because of bird flu precautions, America electing a fascist because of it, and then an actual bird flu pandemic also seems like the chain of events we deserve

We heard for most of the past 2+ years that voters were deeply concerned with inflation and the president's age. Now we have the oldest president ever elected who ran on a platform that will almost certainly lead to inflation. Great work, all.

California is nearly four times larger than North Carolina by population. And yet they build the same amount of new housing per year.

republicans: “why did Biden make my burrito taxi more expensive” also republicans: “we must deport the burrito taxi drivers”

This is an insane thing to say about someone who just made national news for being the victim of intense discrimination. She didn’t make Mike Johnson or Nancy Mace do the things they did. None of this is her fault.

This fallacy explains so much AI hype. The barriers to doing real-world tasks efficiently are rarely computational — they are usually physical, economic, social and political. So you could make the computational part 10x faster yet make the overall system only 1% more efficient.

harris talked about it constantly. i was bombarded with ads about how trump was going to gut the ACA. “concepts of a plan” was one of the most memorable lines from the campaign. no one cared.
