Hey kids. I'm in my 60s. You've never lived in an America where the rich paid their fair share. I have. Let me tell you what that was like: • We built new schools • We built new highways • We cut the poverty rate • We lead the world in technology • WE WENT TO THE FREAKING MOON

Yes. And this is why we have serious synchronized infrastructure decay where everything built in the same era now needs to be replaced at the same time. It’s one of the reasons we can’t afford to fund our schools or fix our roads properly.

"I have come here to chew bubblegum - and kick a**... and I'm all out of bubblegum" is a famous quote from the 1988 film They Live.

I suggest that democrats adopt a pragmatic - but progressive platform response to counter claims that a "centerist" dogma is the way to win - especially in 2026.

Who's gonna tell her?

What a friggin disaster.

One of the best cartoons in ages! Thank you, Bill Bramhall. #NYDN

Top Dem Blows Off Old Congress Critics to Run Again at 85 Rep. Jim Clyburn said he would seek another term despite calls for a new generation.

I'm so, so sick of the gerontocracy in DC. Somebody make it stop!

We’ve never, ever had this before. A President completely untethered to truth. I mean completely untethered to truth. That’s such a bad thing. But you know what’s even worse? Way, way too many people don’t care. And way too much of the media no longer cares.👇

Then what are we doing?

"What books would you have read that would have informed your decision on what grants to cancel based on DEI?"

"There were no books."

But of course. Markie Markwayne couldn't follow the law before his daddy bought him a Senate seat, couldn't follow the law while a Senator, and probably won't follow it as Secretary of DHS.

Jesus, that guy is dick. Easy block.

The Most Dangerous Corporation in America? The AI surveillance state is real — and it's being built by Palantir.

Palantir Technologies raked in $1.5 BILLION in income last year — including from lucrative taxpayer-funded DHS contracts — and paid ZERO federal income tax.

It's fast becoming the most dangerous and least accountable corporation in America.

Yesterday, Jeffrey Epstein's former account testified, under oath, that the Epstein Estate paid a settlement to one of the women accusing Donald Trump of raping her as a minor, AFTER Epstein had died.

This would end any other President instantly. But the press doesn't care.

Best Twitter riposte of the day. Violent crimes on NYC subways have hit the lowest rate we've seen since 1962. But Sean Duffy understands that his job is to spread fear based on lies.

Because of course they are.

I dunno about you, but I'm still boycotting Target

My god!

Ugly gutter racism - I can't believe a US Senator would post this

Once upon a time, it was our values. Guess that's not the case anymore.

This is a truly ugly incident

I don’t think unconditional surrender is imminent.

Wow. Trump is now making hugely consequential decisions about the Strait of Hormuz based on FAFO. On our pod, @profsaunders.bsky.social really nails the dynamic here: There's basically no one around him to constrain this sort of madness any longer:
