Today, after a hot war, we have:
• $50B in military costs
• $85B in consumer inflation (gas/groceries)
• $24B released immediately
• $300B reconstruction fund
• 13 dead, 413 wounded
Total economic impact: $459B. That’s 270x the Obama-era cost, but with no nuclear deal.
Biden/Harris created a system to internationally sanction far-right Israeli extremists in the WB. Piker said Harris would be same as Trump. When Trump won, Netanyahu & WB extremists celebrated. Trump lifted all sanctions. Violence has increased. Who hasn't learned their lesson?
You literally wrote an op-ed that Disney had gone too woke so you ‘wouldn't be going back or watching Disney+ anytime soon.’
Everything and I mean EVERYTHING Republicans do is performative. They stand for nothing, believe in nothing, do nothing but peddle in outrage.
The best version of the Democratic Party is a party that taxes the public to fund an efficient, simple, robust safety net, and that can build public infrastructure fast.
The worst version of the Democratic Party is economic slop about 'nobody should pay taxes but millionaires', and also grinds economic activity to a halt with a million regulations on everything.
The first actually believes in the power of the state to do good. It thinks the system is worth funding and defending. It believes in the fairness of a safety net but also in the power of economic growth and dynamism.
The second is cynical crap that just wants to identify heroes and villains and hysterically strike out at whoever is 'bad'. Rich people bad, only they should pay taxes. Big Companies bad, they shouldn't be allowed to do anything. It has no actual vision of the good.
Right after you get your imaginary $5k DOGE dividend check from an "agency" that no longer exists, then your $2k Tariff refund check in about two weeks, you won't have to pay income taxes ever again.
game theory 101 is that you shouldn’t reward your opponents for defecting, because it encourages them to do the same in the future
just political and strategic malpractice
Ozempic exists because scientists studied Gila monster saliva.
The exact kind of basic research this Administration would have cut without hesitation.
Breakthroughs like this happen only if we choose to fund science even if the outcome is impossible to see at the start.
The Vice President would have learned in his first semester of law school that complying with the law means complying with court orders.
The Constitution doesn’t give the President the power to ignore rulings he doesn’t like. For Vance to claim otherwise is a direct attack on judicial authority and the rule of law.
The Trump Administration must stop weaponizing hunger as a political tool and release all SNAP funds immediately.
A permanent extension of ACA funds costing $350 billion would also be treated to a sticker price of $0 under the "current policy baseline" Graham used to pass the Big Beautiful Bill this year.
Trump said he *really* wanted to pay SNAP benefits, but lied and said he couldn’t access the contingency fund. A judge then ordered him to use those funds. Now Trump is SUING so as to not use the funds that he initially said he had no authority to use.
NEW: Aurora City Councilwoman Danielle Jurinsky has conceded. A stunning defeat for a MAGA media fixture who built a national profile on claims of a "complete gang takeover" of Aurora that led President Trump to visit and falsely proclaim the city "conquered" by an immigrant gang
Ossoff backed Charlie Bailey's bid to lead the state Democratic Party. Bailey told me months ago that “Republicans are going to be very unhappy” if he won. Tonight was his first test. After the sweep, he said: "We are officially putting Georgia Republicans on notice." #gapol
It's enraging that "I don't know, I haven't seen it" is a 100% acceptable response from Republicans, and when someone like Kamala Harris or another Dem tells an interviewer "I worked with Joe Biden and he never showed signs of senility" they get cast into the 8th circle of hell
