@MariaKoklanaris @SilversteinAdam I’m exactly the same; I would rather just skip horror but have really enjoyed 99% of WB.

Whats crazy to me is not just the elbow he got away with but the way he fell

He didn't stumble forward, didnt try to gain balance, did not resist, just took his own legs out from under him and went straight onto his belly. Its just weird bro.

[Rutger Bregman @rcbregman]

This sounds nice, but it's a great way to undermine the welfare state.

The strongest welfare states in the world (the Nordics) tax everyone, including nurses. And they give everyone universal healthcare, childcare, pensions, education in return.

When the middle class has skin in the game, they defend the system. When welfare is 'just for the poor', it becomes a poor program: stigmatized, underfunded, easy to gut.

That's why billionaires keep pushing this idea. The real scandal isn't that this nurse pays $12k.

It's that Jeff Bezos pays $0.

Everyone seems to be missing the other story here.

A non-US citizen with unlimited resources has his "guys" do a deep dig on two normie American women.

The most corrupt, ultra rich, wealthiest, selfish pricks with too much money than they know what to do with and will never be able to spend it all are against social programs WE pay into. These tax-evading freeloaders are parasites on society

[Chasten Glezman Buttigieg @Chasten]

The same Duffys who threw endless fits on national television when Pete was working from our son's ICU bedside are now bragging about their multi-month, taxpayer-funded family road trip while gas and grocery prices soar for American families because of Trump's war of choice. How much more unfocused, unserious, and out of touch can you be?

[Jen Rice @jen_rice_]

This is *insane.* Even if you are too tired to follow the news you have to understand this. The Louisiana governor has *suspended an active congressional election with 42k votes already cast* — it's insane.

[Fernand R. Amandi @AmandiOnAir]

Florida now has the highest unemployment rate in the nation and is one of the most unaffordable states period.

Republicans control the federal government and Republicans have had TOTAL CONTROL of Florida State Government for nearly 30 consecutive years.

Remember in November.

[scary lawyerguy @scarylawyerguy]

Remember folks, Democrats must possess PhD level knowledge of public policy and have think tank quality campaign platforms while Trump couldn't care less about two programs that <checks notes> make up a quarter of our budget and cover 140 million people & it's crickets.🙄

This is the best explanation of gerrymandering you will ever see:

[John Bisognano @johnbisognano]

We did not cancel elections during the Civil War.

We did not cancel elections for World War II.

We did not cancel elections for COVID.

But the Louisiana Governor sees the opportunity to gerrymander Black members out of their seats and…
STATE OF EMERGENCY: ELECTION CANCELLED

[Definitely Not Al Gore 🇺🇲🇺🇦🇵🇸 @AlDefinitely]

Donald Trump was president during the 2020 census, either they're stupid or they think you are.

[Headquarters @HQNewsNow]

Here is a long montage of Trump calling Americans who don’t support him “the enemy from within,” “vermin,” calling to “shoot through the fake news,” and other violent rhetoric

[Tyler Black, MD @tylerblack32]

So Trump's team downloaded a wikipedia picture of the reflecting pool from 2004 (Bush), had AI add algae to it, and then had AI make it bluer, while adding the "Hussein" as a racist dogwhistle...

cool cool cool cool cool

[Jamesetta Williams 💕 @jamesetta_w]

The most shocking thing about this is that Trump falling asleep in public at the age of 79 is a very regular occurrence, and yet the same journalists that tweeted weekly about Biden’s age & fitness just don’t really care

🚨WHAT A SCAM "but hes not taking his presidential salary"

[robert @rfhirschfeld]

$736 million is about what it costs to fund 20 hours of the disastrous Iran war.

[Holly Bullard @HollyBullardFL]

Sen. Scott was governor for 8 years.
The true story is that while other states made the decision to invest enough post-Great Recession to right the ship, the Scott Administration swept $1.4B in affordable housing funding for tax cuts for wealthy corporations
