“Many of us would love to be taxed for the things we are solely and individually responsible for. But we are American citizens, and thus bound to a collective enterprise that extends beyond our individual and personal reach” Ta-Nahesi Coates’ testimony on #HR40

@ClydeDonnelly99 @rtenews What machine? He’s autistic.

@WCTharpe Can’t a planet get a little love?

[Aoife T. #BodilyAutonomy @at_dc]

@RonanFarrow Also there’s that whole sexual harassment of women including his employees thing…

[Aoife T. #BodilyAutonomy @at_dc]

@WCTharpe Writing a funder proposal rn where this is the basic premise…

[Aoife T. #BodilyAutonomy @at_dc]

@EastEndJoe I’d start with them actually knowing what a pronoun is and being able to properly parse a sentence.

@mattyglesias A general disdain of science isn’t enough?

[Aoife T. #BodilyAutonomy @at_dc]

Zelensky has been holding Ukraine together by sheer force of will. Making his resignation a condition for NATO membership is short sighted at best. In related news, you would think the GOPs immunity to irony and raging hypocrisy would be enough to choke every last one of them.

@TimHannan Where’s the “I never thought the leopard would eat my face” lady?

[Aoife T. #BodilyAutonomy @at_dc]

@WCTharpe I guess I moved to the right state 🤗

[Aoife T. #BodilyAutonomy @at_dc]

@ChrisCuomo That’s a really interesting take on why Trump won.

[Wesley Tharpe @WCTharpe]

New out from me today: about 1 dollar out of every 3 in state spending comes from federal funds, & that longstanding support is vital to families, communities, & state economies nationwide. Emerging Republican budget proposals could threaten broad swaths of it very soon.

[Jason Bailey @jbaileyky]

Federal grant funding in the state budget to Kentucky is $22 billion and includes:
--$15 billion for Medicaid
--$1.8 billion for education including Title 1, school meals $469M, special ed
--$234 million for child care

@Cloudwatch199 …welcome to the discussion? I mean this with genuine curiosity and respect- what did you think was going to happen?

[Aoife T. #BodilyAutonomy @at_dc]

@ravenousreader Yep. This was a thing in my house growing up. At some point my dad persuaded her to switch to terrys chocolate orange 🤣 but the point was the same…

[Aoife T. #BodilyAutonomy @at_dc]

@WCTharpe What was the song?

[Aoife T. #BodilyAutonomy @at_dc]

@JMDucksworth @AniseNot And it’s also totally normal.

[Aoife T. #BodilyAutonomy @at_dc]

@AniseNot @Philosophi_Cat And if they are not why is that? I hated going home for Christmas as a young adult. It got more bearable the more control I felt I exercised over my own life. But if they don’t want to I don’t think it’s the new gf’s fault
