@Acosta@alexwagner The book's thesis is not a revelation - anyone in politics paying attention knows this already. The GOP didn't "steal" anything - they simply wielded power more effectively and ruthlessly than Democrats. So Dems: whine about it and keep losing, or play the game to win?
@JonLemire please stop trying to give RFK Jr "partial credit." Everything he spouts is unscientific BS. Everything. There's zero evidenced that processed foods are dangerous, or that pesticides are used at unsafe levels. It is all BS. All of it. @Morning_Joe
@smerconish The GOP went along with Tea Party candidates in 2010 in hopes of winning seats, instead of setting boundaries like President Bush did with David Duke in 1990. Dems are doing the same thing now - if they aren't willing to lose Michigan, the DSA will take over the party
@maddow No, a DSA takeover is not a sign of a healthy Democratic Party. Was the Tea Party/MAGA takeover of the GOP healthy for democracy? Fringe populist capture fuels polarization, not democratic pluralism.
@Uber just moved to Denver, and I’ve had it with the terrible Uber service here. Drivers make a fraction of the fare and stall pickups trying to find more money. Switching to Lyft after 12 years with Uber - much cheaper and better service.
@GavinNewsom You won’t win the White House by trashing the swing states you need to get to 270 EV. Can’t you find a better way to tout your CA record? I thought you were supposed to be good at politics.
@GavinNewsom don’t expect support from Democrats in 2028 primaries and caucuses if you can’t sort out this circular firing squad in your own backyard. https://t.co/WFc4CTpzxb
@neeratanden The definition of Tandening: trash a key rural swing state you need to win the White House and Senate for lacking diversity, despite their Democractic voters giving caucus wins to the first African-American nominee in 2008, first woman in 2016, and first LGBTQ man in 2020.
@NBCNewsPR@HallieJackson@NBCNightlyNews What's with the nonstop News McFluff, Hallie? Chicago weather (gasp!), water leak at the Louvre (oh my!), and BREAKING NEWS, Christmas Tree Lane opens in California! Nothing else going on in the world? Authoritarian takeover, war crimes, Venezuela, Ukraine? You caving in?
@grok Would a future US Administration be able to charge Musk with criminal reckless endangerment for the millions of lives lost due to his actions as the head of DOGE?
@grok how many people have died as a result of the closure of USAID and the abrupt ending of humanitarian, food, medical, and other assistance from the U.S.?
@grok@grok does "intent" matter in a manslaughter charge? How about reckless endangerment? Should not a world-reknown tech leader like Elon Musk be able to reasonably understand the consequences of abruptly ending $60 billion in humanitarian aid?
@grok@grok, given these projections and Elon Musk's leading role in shutting down USAID via DOGE, isn't it logical to conclude that he is one of the biggest mass murderers in recent history? What other atrocities will exceed 600,000 deaths in 2024 or 14 million by 2030?
@RadioFreeTom After the coin, maybe a stamp? The Genius of Manhattan and Great Builder should meet the Genius of the Carpathians and Great Builder. The court poets could learn a thing or two….
