Piers Morgan: The moment I hear people calling Trump a Nazi, they lose me, and you've done this. You can hate Trump but there is no comparison between Trump and Hitler.
Jennifer Welch: JD Vance called him America's Hitler. Trump said I want generals like Hitler's generals. His ex-wife said he had Mein Kampf on his nightstand. This man is America's Hitler.
John, @SenFettermanPA if there is a decent bone left in your body, just quit. It’s an insult to decent people in our state for you to treat them and the office this way.
These aren’t people who were here “illegally”. Haitians came here as part of a program to rescue people from countries destroyed by disaster or war. They were good, contributing members of our communities. With families.
But they aren’t white, so to Mullin they are dangerous.
“We are going through an energy shock. Ukraine has decided that they want to blow up Russian energy assets. This is creating pressure on prices globally,” – Bessent.
Ukraine has “decided”?
Are you fucking kidding me???
Russia has spent years bombing our power plants, destroying our energy infrastructure, attacking our cities and trying to freeze Ukrainians in winter.
Ukraine didn’t wake up one morning and “decide” it would be fun to attack Russian energy infrastructure.
We are fighting a fucking war of survival because RUSSIA INVADED US.
So sorry about your “energy shock.”
We’re experiencing the slightly bigger inconvenience of trying not to fucking die.
@esjesjesj It's difficult to care about the characters' sacrifice when the movie doesn't give you reasons to care about the characters themselves. Now, if you watch it following Andor, that's a different story.
frank herbert’s politics were so funny/insane. anti-soviet, anti-mccarthyism. republican but anti-war. environmentalist but anti-welfare. the median voter wrote dune
.@JamesTalarico: This issue of healthcare is so personal to me. When I was a perfectly healthy 28-year-old running for the Texas House, I got diagnosed with a shocking illness.
I was a Democrat running in a Trump district, and so I had to do things a little differently, and at one point I decided to walk the entire length of my district — 25 miles — in the Texas heat.
About halfway through, I started to feel fatigued and nauseous. I ended up throwing up a few times along the walk.
I was diagnosed with Type 1 Diabetes. I went to Walgreens to pick up my first 30-day supply of insulin — it cost me $684. I didn't have that kind of money, so I put it on a credit card, and I soon learned that Texans with diabetes across the state were rationing or skipping doses. Some of them were dying because of it.
And so when I won that seat, I brought Democrats and Republicans together to take on Big Pharma, and we capped insulin copays in Texas at $25 per prescription.
@mrbrianrowe I was all ready to say something about how Kidman has prioritized frequently working with female directors and it's fine if she's too busy...and then I remembered.
Ossoff: Why this obsession with Fulton County? It’s the same reason he’s obsessed with Philly. It’s the same reason he’s obsessed with Detroit. It’s because the fact that Black voters were instrumental to his defeat offends him even more than the defeat itself
Ossoff: When you step back and consider it, the situation is absurd. Tech titans dig bunkers and warn us the new intelligence they’re training could lead to mass joblessness or human extinction, while our Congress debates ballrooms and youth sports.
We’ve amassed enough firepower to end the world 1,000 times over, but we can’t summon the will to guarantee health care and pre-K. I say all this to say, but it’s the crushing weakness of our politics, against the unmet needs of our people and the massive stakes of our times, that’s shaking our faith in the future.
But Atlanta, I refuse to leave my girls a world as dark and dangerous and cruel as this one threatens to become.
When Eva is old enough to ask me why I let this happen. I'm determined to answer truthfully, that I didn’t
