With two-thirds of the country now disapproving of Trump, I’d say there are many millions of real Americans in the anti-Trump camp. About 25 percent of American adults self-identify as part of the MAGA movement. That’s a small minority. https://t.co/PnyhfHPXuz

Good Americans believe devoutly that the rule of law applies to everyone. And good Americans know very well that this is explicitly not a Christian nation and never was. https://t.co/FL6d56yco8

This is extraordinary on so many levels. First and foremost, it’s shocking and disgusting that the Trump administration would even contemplate doing this. https://t.co/pMZhxJjZ7T

Hardworking young families cannot effectively compete for starter homes with Wall Street firms and their vast resources. Neighborhoods and communities once controlled by middle-class American families are now run by faraway corporate interests.

“No one will stop him. The only people who can stop Trump are Republicans. They’re not going to stop him. They’re going to let him keep crashing and killing and destroying.” —Stuart Stevens https://t.co/MBAIVU3vdv

Republicans peddle an economic fairy tale. That cutting taxes increases revenue and spurs tremendous economic activity. It’s a lie. A fantasy. They wreck the economy. https://t.co/nTvlpP2AFx

The modern United States has experienced 11 recessions. Ten have happened under Republican presidents. This isn’t a coincidence. They screw things up because they try to impose a fairy tale on the country. https://t.co/GfSnJNskXi

It’s sad that it’s come to pass that we just automatically believe a foreign government—and China’s no less—over the president of the United States (sad about him, that is, not us). https://t.co/1Q1Ejl880L

The United States ranked 128th in how it is viewed by survey respondents across 85 countries. We netted out at -16. That’s behind Russia, Syria, and Myanmar, to name a few notables. But hey, we’re ahead of Iran! By a point. https://t.co/lZtKcrgROZ

In Georgia, for example, more than half a million people—all of them faced, remember, with higher gas and grocery prices—have decided to forgo coverage. https://t.co/3KAJW3HxJb

Texas limits eligibility for Medicaid to families living below 15 percent of the poverty level, meaning that a family of three earning more than—get this—$4,098 annually is not eligible for any benefits. https://t.co/RVxKj5TTjQ

The end result is that people will go without healthcare, and some will die.

Do Democrats need to engage in a mass Maoist denunciation of Biden? Obviously not. But they do need to make it clear that they’re not stuck in the past. Biden isn’t ready to move on, but Democrats need to.

Congratulations to @brian_goldstone on winning the Pulitzer Prize for General Nonfiction for There Is No Place for Us: Working and Homeless in America.

So, zeroing in on an issue that resonates in Waterloo, Iowa but may mean absolutely nothing to the young progressives in Brooklyn is a good thing right off the bat. https://t.co/Ct0cofP9U5

If Axios is correct, offering Iran about 12 times that amount. If $1.7 billion was treason, then what’s $20 billion?
