Mamdani: “New York City will open city run grocery stores to meet the needs of the people.”

Republicans: “That’s socialism!”

Trump: “Gas prices are too high, we are opening government run gas stations:”

Republicans: “Long live Emperor Trump!”

I hate this timeline.

@WarpSonic @LpComal Are you saying you don't think brown people should be allowed to vote?

So many have asked us to weigh in on the Cracker Barrel redesign controversy, so here is what you need to know:

America has a $37 Trillion national debt that the Republicans and Democrats are both responsible for. And you have to pay it back through future taxes.

“The Constitution does not actually mean the thing that it absolutely and very clearly states in no uncertain terms.”

Trump's oppressive tariffs on imports from Canada & Mexico begin today. Tariffs are destructive & punishing, & those cheering this on are supporting a cruel new tax on YOU, America. They don't mind hurting you or destroying your economic future as long as Trump is in charge.

MAGA on American immigration: “We’re a sovereign nation! Respect our borders!”

MAGA on Ukraine: “Their borders aren’t real. Russia was provoked. What does sovereignty even mean?”

To illustrate how unserious Republicans are about cutting spending, President Trump just endorsed adopting a continuing resolution (CR) through September.

This means that Joe Biden’s spending levels and priorities would be extended through the end of the fiscal year.

It also means that Congress would vote on one spending bill that combines all the departments rather than 12 separate bills that allow for more calibrated changes.

GOP leaders have hinted at slightly modifying the CR with some of the @DOGE “cuts,” but even if that were to happen, those items are minuscule relative to the overall bill, so fundamentally we’d be getting a full fiscal year of Biden spending.

People will continue to make excuses for what’s happening, but those excuses will not change the end result. Congress and the White House are pursuing the status quo on spending.

It’s not surprising to those of us who know how bad Washington is, but it’s still appalling.

Whether they’re Democrats or Republicans, nearly all of them—with rare exceptions like @RandPaul and @RepThomasMassie—simply do not care about the fiscal and economic health of the country.

The fix is simple: As a general matter, total expenditures should be limited to the average annual revenue collected in the three prior years. This can be implemented gradually, but it has to be implemented.

The problem is that there’s no current effort at the top to do so even though the president and congressional leaders have tremendous leverage to make it happen.

Every time an illegal immigrant commits a crime with a firearm:

Democrats: "Take away the guns from the other people who didn't hurt anyone!"

Republicans: "Deport the people who didn't hurt anyone!"

And they think they are different.

“The Constitution doesn’t actually say the thing that it says.”

- Democrats on the 2nd Amendment

The widespread euphoria in the MAGA crowd because RFK or Trump (or whoever) is going to “save” them using government seems distinctly at odds with their self-perceived distrust of government and disdain for dependence on the State.

@ToddHagopian Everyone else could see this coming, you still chose to be part of it.

@ToddHagopian You greased the machinery that made this outcome possible.

@ToddHagopian You were part of the takeover coalition that produced these results.

3 things in this world you can be certain of: Death, Taxes, and Ticketmaster being the absolute worst.

Republicans: "It's called Columbus Day!"

Democrats: "It's called Indigenous People's Day!"

Libertarians: "We are $35 Trillion in debt."

[Keith Thompson @KeithForLiberty]

Trump is not fiscally libertarian: he increased the debt by 7.8 trillion after promising to eliminate it.

Trump is not anti-war: he massively ramped up bombs and drone strikes while eliminating accountability.

Trump is not remotely socially libertarian.

Trump is a statist.

[Randy Simbro @randysimbro]

What the old party arguments sound like to libertarians:

“You have to choose between cancer and heart disease! If you don’t vote for heart disease you are voting for cancer! Why would you waste your vote like that?”

And they don’t understand how insane that sounds.
