I run a BA in Comedy Writing and Performance. I have worked at The Second City for longer than I am comfortable admitting to. I read a lot of books.

Trump, overnight: “If Kamala wins, you are 3 days away from the start of a 1929-style economic depression.”

What has happened since the last time he predicted a depression if a Democrat won:

White House: We have gone from the worst economic crisis since the Great Depression to the strongest economy in the world.

Some people seem to have forgotten how bad a president Trump was, so I made a list of the 100 Worst Things About the Trump Presidency, in no particular order. Please share and add anything I missed. 🧵

Oh right, I often have complex emotional reactions which I can’t easily interpret.

Further, these data help explain something remarkable. EVERY transition from a Democratic to a Republican administration during the past 100 years has resulted in slower job growth, while EVERY transition from a GOP to a Democratic administration has led to faster job growth.

TRIVARIATE: “.. If you simply average the last 96 years of data, the S&P500 has performed far better in the year following a Democratic Presidential victory than a Republican victory.” ���🇸 $SPX

I was leading the Senate Health Committee—I saw it up close.

Trump did everything he could to undermine and REPEAL the Affordable Care Act. He sent the uninsured rate skyrocketing and drove up prices through constant sabotage. That was Trump's health care policy.

Will be playing this in Family Law this semester.

The quiet part out loud--Families (and, in particular, women) are necessary to shore up a tattered (nay, nonexistent) social welfare net. Who needs childcare policies when you have grandparents and extended family? A travesty.

I heard Walz talk about this and I think about it a lot. So many of our systems are geared towards making sure people who don’t “deserve” help don’t get it instead of making the choice to make it easy for the people who need help to get it.

In 2023, Gov. Walz signed into law legislation to provide breakfasts and lunches at no charge to all Minnesota students — regardless of income.

As a Minnesotan and a human being who cares about families, I cannot be more excited to have Tim Walz as the VP nominee!!!!

[Anne Libera @AnneLibera1]

@MrDrewLandry We need a VP who can out his entire fist in his mouth.

@daniel_m_lavery I use that documentary in my comedy history class. My other favorite parts are grown up Jackie Coogan and how mean Frank Capra is about Harry Langdon.

[Anne Libera @AnneLibera1]

@daniel_m_lavery Is this by any chance a BBC documentary from the 80’s narrated by James Mason?
