Why do heterosexuals feel the need to constantly throw their sex lives in our faces?

McGowan: I’m so tired of it. Honest to God, the only reason we’re talking about Hasan Piker is because he’s on the left. We have had right-wing shock jocks for years. We had freaking Rush Limbaugh ringing a bell every time a gay person died of AIDS. We have Nick Fuentes dining at Mar-a-Lago after he says, “Your women are your body. My choice.” We’ve got these right-wing Christian zealots who said women shouldn’t vote and we’re nothing but vessels. They are all on the right wing, and we’re not asking every single Republican candidate and sitting person if they approve of them, if they should disown them.

Rothman: I’m old enough to remember when every Republican in Congress was asked to respond to things Rush Limbaugh said.

McGowan: He got a Presidential Medal of Freedom from the president we have now, so please stop.

“You didn’t build that”

Two Black boys running a lemonade stand received an unexpected show of support after someone called 911 on them. Instead of shutting them down, Kansas City police officers and firefighters showed up to support them, helping them earn hundreds of dollars. This is what community should look like! Investing in our youth instead off discouraging their entrepreneurship. ✊🏿

And Democrats just won the midterms

[Bill Kristol @BillKristol]

The inflation rate in Biden's last month in office was 2.9%. Trump (supported by a Republican Congress) has driven it up to 4.2%.

Thank you, voters, for your attention to this matter.

Jeff Bezos paid $500M for his super-yacht and $75M for his super-yacht’s mini-yacht — both of which he’s allowed to write-off on his taxes.

That alone would cover $180 in classroom supplies for every public school teacher in the U.S.

[Tim Miller @Timodc]

Obama expressed empathy for Trayvon Martin and @benshapiro had a decade long tantrum. Imagine if instead he had stolen $1.8 bil from taxpayers and had BLM dole it out to whoever they wanted. Because that's what Trump is doing but for insurrectionist whites instead.

[Jessica Tarlov @JessicaTarlov]

The corruption in broad daylight is astounding. He’s not only going to pardon J6ers, he’s going to pay them with our money, too. And use American independence as the branding!

[Sarah Longwell @SarahLongwell25]

He gets a ballroom. An Arch. A new reflecting pool. 10 billion directly into his pocket from taxpayers. Billions from special interests seeking favors and pardons.

What has America gotten? Tariffs, a new war, higher gas prices, inflation.

Truly a golden age.

[Melanie D'Arrigo @DarrigoMelanie]

Weird, because Spirit Airlines blamed it on rising fuel costs because of Trump’s war in Iran.

[Brian Allen @allenanalysis]

JUST IN: A Trump judicial nominee was asked point blank: is Trump eligible to run for a third term?

Their answer: “I would have to review the actual wording…”

Sen. Chris Coons then asked every nominee in the room to confirm the Constitution bars a third term.

Silence.

Every single one of them refused to say it.

Trump is appointing judges who won’t affirm the 22nd Amendment to his face.

Never stop connecting the dots.

"The president’s sons are backing a new drone company that is vying to meet fresh demand from the Pentagon. Powerus, a drone roll-up company in West Palm Beach, is merging with a publicly traded GOLF-COURSE HOLDING COMPANY backed by the Trumps."

Every time Todd Blanche opens his mouth, a defendant somewhere gets a better shot at motions for selective & vindictive prosecution.

[Catherine Rampell @crampell]

A friend asks: “Has it occurred to anyone that the MAGAs think you have to show IDs at restaurants because they’ve been eating all their meals at strip clubs? This isn’t even an unreasonable theory”

[Jessica Tarlov @JessicaTarlov]

‘F around and find out’ is still the Democrats’ position on redistricting and is even more so our position after the SCOTUS ruling.

Hakeem Jeffries is talking about a scenario when Illinois, Maryland, Colorado, and New York are totally blue. We could get 52 seats in California.

Democrats support a national gerrymandering ban. Republicans would be wise to support it before this gets even uglier.

[Tim Miller @Timodc]

A truly grotesque assault on democracy from @JeffLandry who is using an executive order to suspend House primary elections even though early voting begins tomorrow and names will be on the ballot.

[Sarah Longwell @SarahLongwell25]

Saying that Trump is bad President who routinely deploys violent rhetoric and is a unique threat to liberal Democracy are appropriate and true statements. We should be full-throated in our condemnation of political violence and violent rhetoric. But we should continue to tell the truth about Trump.

[Tommy Vietor @TVietor08]

Cancel culture is alive and well

[Sarah Longwell @SarahLongwell25]

It’s so weird how quiet the free speech brigade has gone since Trump took office and began waging an absolute war against speech he doesn’t like.
