.@ezraklein: “What is, to you, the ‘rage economy’?”
@JamesTalarico: “The billionaires own the algorithms and the news networks. They have created for-profit platforms that divide us on an hourly basis — by party, by race, by gender, by religion. They elevate the most extreme voices very strategically to provoke our outrage, because that leads to more clicks, which leads to more money for them.
They are selling us conflict right into our bloodstream, and they’re calling it connection.
And I think it’s left people starving for actual community.”
@peekaboo_jen I agree. A terrible rotten idiotic choice that they had to know was going to make us livid. We were emotionally ready for what we thought would happen (Diana’s version) I didn’t notice, who was the writer for this episode? It surely wasn’t DG
@peekaboo_jen Maybe they thought it just wasn’t right to kill off Henri Christian or he is just too cute (which he is) but this change and the Lord John/Percy scene are absolutely unforgiveable! I was happy when Roger caught him but in the next moment I was just beside myself with anger!!! 🤬
@peekaboo_jen I was watching live and was flabbergasted! Did he tell anybody he had shot this? It had to be done last fall when his hair was short for Macbeth. Bravo Sam👏🏻
.@JamesTalarico: If you read the New Testament, Jesus doesn't spend most of his time preaching or teaching. He spends most of his time healing the sick.
Right now we have politicians in Congress with ‘Christ follower’ in their Twitter bios, but they are kicking the sick off their healthcare.
It is estimated that 51,000 Americans will die needlessly because of Republicans’ health care cuts. That's 51,000 flesh and blood human beings. That's a moral crime.
In the wealthiest country in human history, no one should die because they can't afford their health insurance. We as lawmakers have a special obligation to heal people, not make them sicker.

.@JamesTalarico: Christian nationalists walk around with a mouth full of scripture and a heart full of hate. Don't tell me what you believe. Show me how you treat other people, and I'll tell you what you believe
We believe healthcare is a right for every American.
But starting today, millions will get notice that they are being priced out of their insurance due to Republican policies.
Enough is enough. GOP may shut down the government, but we stand up for you.
Senate Republicans just sold out the sick and the hungry to cut taxes for the rich and the powerful.
What would Jesus do about this “Big Beautiful Bill”?
I think he would flip over the tables of injustice and call on us to do the same.
@peekaboo_jen That is an impressive rant!!! Agree100%
I was lucky enough to go to the season premiere when it was in New York a few years ago (I live in Kentucky) I got the be in the same room with Sam and Caitriona but couldn’t get close enough for a selfie or to talk. Maybe one day 🤞
