Maybe stop growing only corn-soy rotation that's poisoning the water across Iowa AND making farmers go broke. Only Big Agribusiness wins.

If he's not starting a war then I'm gonna watch Fallout instead.

Any 2028 Democratic Presidential hopeful better start accepting that if they don't support #M4A, Democratic voters won't even consider them.

The ACA marketplace is in a death spiral. Young and healthy people are increasingly going to alternatives or without coverage at all. That's just going to keep driving up prices.

We're just going to need to keep raising these subsidies until it's costing what Medicare for All would cost anyway!

Literally waiting to see if I can afford health insurance next year with the #ACA subsidies deadline coming. It's insanely stressful.

But also let's please recognize the subsidies are just a band aid on a bullet wound.

Does Rahm support Medicare for All now?

There's some delicious irony in Trump being brought low due to a scandal from released emails.

Is someone forcing you to share hot takes online? This happens to everyone, just grow a thicker skin man. Or stop sharing incidiary opinions that you know will anger people.

You have a massive audience and platform and yet you just complain about it.

Do you honestly think that a left wing person could have gone into right wing spaces to say things like Kirk did? Or would they need to fear a violent reaction?

Repeating Republican frames only reinforces them. Remember "Don't think of an Elephant".

Harris just needed to say "I will be a very different President than Biden."

Senate Dems should talk proactively about how they'll tangibly help people, not amplify Republican attacks by repeating them.

Honestly there probably would have been a bigger push for an Epstein Special Prosecutor in 2020 if not for that whole global pandemic thing.

Heck of a job Kristi.

Image of Senator Alex Padilla being physically dragged away by the DHS secretary's security.

This is what Trump's government thugs are willing to do in broad daylight, to a US Senator, with cameras on.

They are sending the message that anyone who disagrees with Trump isn't safe in America.

This is authoritarianism.

And Martin is explicitly opposed to that and trying to make sure it never happens again.

Any actual support Hogg's PAC provides to primary challenges (which to date has been none) will be dwarfed by letting the DNC become an incumbent protection committee.

I'm all for primarying Dems but Martin is right here.

Allowing the DNC to take sides in primaries is a bad idea! If they let Hogg do so then they allow the more corporate friendly DNC officers to do so as well.

I'll also be more sympathetic to Hogg when his PAC has actually done something.

This is why paying that settlement was so toxic to journalism independence. Even if this was some policy violation, there's no way to escape the perception that ABC no longer will honestly report on the Trump admin.

They're essentially just Newsmax now.

The key takeaway here is that there are plenty of Trump voters who aren't hateful, they're just ignorant/dumb when it comes to politics.

And now maybe they'll be a little less ignorant about issues for the next election. Or maybe Dems can do a better job of reaching them.

The people who voted for him didn't follow the news either so it makes sense.

"I know this is hurting my state but I'm too cowardly to do anything about it."

A tweet by Sarah Longwell (@SarahLongwell25 ) reads: "He’s threatening media companies who are critical of him. He’s talking about sending Americans to foreign prisons. He’s signing executive orders to investigate former staff members who spoke out against him. Don’t you see what’s happening here?"

I see it. I have lived it. 83 years ago, the U.S. government turned upon a group of its own citizens and residents and sent them to internment camps without due process. I was there among them. American fascism is back. It is here. It is now.

Sanders: A woman is walking down the street, a car stops, and these guys — in plain clothes and masks — grab her, throw her into the car, and take off. That happened in Vermont today. That’s the kind of thing that happens in dictatorships, not in a democracy.

A graph showing the Economic Uncertainty Index. It shows a high spike in 2020 for Covid but the spike in the last 48 hours has taken it above that level to a score of 600. Ordinarily it would sit between 100-200. Graph credit to the FT.

OFFICIAL: Donald Trump is worse than a worldwide pandemic.

anyway calling these "war plans" when they were actually plans to blow up an apartment building full of civilians because the girlfriend of a guy we don't like lived there sounds more like "terrorism plans" or perhaps even more accurately "terrorism factory creation plans"
