We may all need to accept the fact that Joe Biden is the most powerful figure in political history because he's still controlling inflation and gas prices a full two years after his term ended. Fucking impressive.

@JimFree21665747 @kylegriffin1 Shouldn't her job be to answer questions on issues of salience to the American people, not to "own the people in the press conferences"?

@Angry_Staffer Despite stopping an argument between my kids, I too did not win the Nobel Peace Prize. 😔 Fingers crossed for next year.🤞🏽

They raped a drugged and barely conscious woman for 7 hours and got essays as a punishment?

Tear it all down.

@cobaltbluesp @WarMonitor3 You mean the deal that's been in place since 1951?

[Ron Filipkowski @RonFilipkowski]

Republicans are promising the government will borrow $1.3 trillion in money we don’t have to add to the $40 trillion debt to give $5,000 to everyone but only if they win the election while claiming Democrats are all socialists.

[Ron Filipkowski @RonFilipkowski]

Why do people only supposedly get the $5,000 if Republicans win in November? Republicans control everything and have for 2 years. Why didn’t they do it before? Why don’t they come back into session tomorrow and pass it right now? Because it’s all a lie, like everything else.

Do Trump’s caddies get trophies too when he wins all those club championships?

An ICE agent pepper sprayed a woman in New York for videotaping.

Recording in public is protected by the First Amendment.

He must be held accountable 💯

[Ed Krassenstein @EdKrassen]

A fully masked ICE agent pepper sprayed a woman in New York yesterday merely for videotaping.

This is what tyranny looks like in Trump’s America. Imagine if Biden had Trump supporters pepper sprayed for videotaping.

[Aaron Rupar @atrupar]

HOMAN: We want the American people to see what the ICE officer sees when he takes action

REPORTER: But then why did the Trump administration roll back what the Biden administration was trying do to get body cams on officers?

HOMAN: Look, that's a question above me

Trump refuses to sign a bill that would make housing cheaper for you because he rather make voting harder for you!

@soblackandblue @optionsjunkiie @RichardHanania Crime is a symptom of the real problem... Poverty. And not just any poverty. Insular generational poverty where a different way of life isn't even imagined. Poverty is the real problem.

If your bank forced you to legally put a certain amount of your paycheck every payday for 30 years into a savings account for your "retirement," didn't give you interest, then when you were getting ready to retire, said "we're only going to give you 70% of your money back, because we can't afford to pay you the full amount."

Would you accept that?
Vote every Republican out.

Perfect weather in NYC to walk on the right side of the sidewalk. Let’s all go outside and walk on the right side of the sidewalk

If you’re wondering why so many people are so concerned about the current Ebola outbreak…

“It was just over a year ago that Elon Musk gleefully declared that they were throwing USAID into the wood chipper. And you may recall that Elon Musk also sheepishly said at his first Cabinet meeting that he mistakenly canceled Ebola prevention…”

[Brian Krassenstein @krassenstein]

HOLY CRAP Trump actually accomplished a miracle. Here is what he got out of Iran:

- Reduce its stockpile of enriched uranium by about 98%

- Limit uranium enrichment to 3.67% purity (far below weapons-grade)

- Cut the number of installed centrifuges by roughly two-thirds

- Only enrich uranium at one declared site (Natanz)

- Stop enrichment activities at Fordow and convert it into a research facility

- Redesign the Arak heavy-water reactor so it could not easily produce weapons-grade plutonium

- Ship out or dilute excess enriched uranium
Allow extensive inspections by the International Atomic Energy Agency (IAEA)
Permit continuous monitoring of nuclear facilities and supply chains

- Accept “snap” inspections under expanded monitoring rules

- Avoid building new heavy-water reactors for years

- Stay within strict limits on uranium stockpile size and centrifuge development for set periods ranging from 10–25 years

Ooops, sorry!

That was the JCPOA that Obama signed with Iran, only to have him tear it up, kill 140 kids, get hundreds of Americans injured, 13 killed, and gas prices to surge 50%.

@TheKanehB Pagers used lower frequencies than current cell phones. Lower frequencies can penetrate more materials, and travel farther with less energy loss. But, they can't carry as much data as the frequencies used for cells. Two way pagers were less reliable than one way pagers.

@RVAwonk The only explanation I can think of for their confidence is that rooms might be very negatively pressured, making the mask just to stop a rapid air expression like a cough or a sneeze.

But I agree, an abundance of caution is better.
