Apart from the moral repugnance, this is so revealing of how ignorant conservatives are about poverty. Poor people have to think about money ALL THE TIME. They worry constantly about what everything costs, how to substitute one purchase for another, what bill can be put off until payday, etc.
My favorite band, Tedeschi Trucks, opened their 2026 tour at the Beacon last night. Their first number was the CSN&Y song, "Ohio." Absolute banger!!!

This one has been on my mind a lot lately.
But it's written in the starlight
And every line in your palm
We're fools to make war
On our brothers in arms

As Jeremy Carl’s indefensible State Department nomination collapses, questions hang overhead:
Why did Trump nominate this guy, and why did Trump continue to support Carl’s doomed nomination after his white-supremacist worldview was exposed?

Not great when the only people in the free world who believe and trust Vladimir Putin’s word on critical things despite all evidence to the contrary are currently running the government of the United States.

Axios Scoop: Scoop: White House tells House Republicans to stop talking about mass deportations March 10, 2026
Shot. Chaser.
NOTHING can make Ogles an American. He's un-American in the marrow of his bones.
"Top Trump goon secretly begs GOP to bury key MAGA promise."
"White House deputy chief of staff James Blair told House Republicans to stop emphasizing 'mass deportations' during a policy listening session at their annual retreat in Doral, Florida, Axios reports."
After an upset red-to-blue win in New Hampshire, a revised tally:

Number of state legislative seats Republicans have flipped over the same period: 0

Who could possibly have foreseen that war on Iran would (a) make Iran retaliate by closing the strait of Hormuz, which (b) could disrupt world oil markets, enriching Russia and penalizing most everyone else?
Who, indeed, except EVERYONE WHO HAS EVER THOUGHT FOR ONE MINUTE about the situation.
On this day in 1965, the Rev. James Reeb died after a group of white men opposed to his civil rights work attacked him in Selma. Three men later indicted for Rev. Reeb's murder were acquitted by an all-white jury.
RESULT: The AP calls it, that there will be a runoff between Democrat Shawn Harris and Republican Clayton Fuller in April (meaning they’ll take the top 2 spots and neither will get 50%).
This is the reddest district in Georgia, though Dems are at least going to get a big overperformance today.
The problem is not framing.
Stop the presses. We found someone even more stupid than the president.
This is the way a lot of us would like to think we would respond to hostile questions in a Congressional hearing, but its rare to see a witness just turn the tables on a Senator like this.
I know there's chatter about who is the most ignorant Republican in the Senate. But no list of top contenders should ignore Ron Johnson.
ICYMI: Republicans BLOCKED my bill to fund TSA.
Republicans are punishing travelers and forcing TSA agents to work without pay because they want to cut another blank check for ICE & Border Patrol.
It's shameful.
The "information" Johnson is referring to is that Trump had a "feeling."
Cut to the chase: The Republican Speaker of the House just rationalized a comment that "Muslims don't belong in American society."
I’m beating a dead horse here because I’m fairly certain I have said it before but on behalf of all Jewish-Americans I disavow this bigot. He does not reflect our views.
I’m not talking politics and ideology. I’m talking basic human decency.
If you are watching Trump's presser right now, you are seeing beyond reasonable doubt a person not mentally suited for any position of responsibility. Even running a small store.
GOP members of the House and Senate: You are seeing this too.
Tweet by Philip Proudfoot saying Switzerland stopped being neutral after condemning U.S.–Israeli attacks on Iran as a violation of international law, quoting an Al Jazeera Breaking News headline.
A Swiss kick in the ass.
We are a secular democracy. If you don't like the freedom of religion, you are welcome to move somewhere else.
In America, you can be Christian, Muslim, Jewish, or anything else. It's written into our Constitution. 🇺🇸🇺🇸🇺🇸
Get lost with this garbage.
Before this whole mess of a war with Iran is over, we're going to have to wrestle with the facts that President Obama explained to Jeffrey Goldberg.
Trump spent years screaming about gas prices. Blaming Democrats. Then he started a war in the Middle East. And he clearly doesn’t give a sh*t.
His voters got plaid.

When French writes that "Talarico is one of the few openly Christian politicians in the United States who acts like a Christian," there's at least one prominent Democrat he choses to ignore.

The Discourse has become sort of numb to the fact that the richest guy on earth and owner of a major social media platform just routinely spits out the kind of nakedly white supremacist shit that until a decade ago you rarely saw outside of places like Stormfront.
