ELIZABETH WARREN: What Zohran is saying is 'I want people to be able to afford to live in NYC'
FABER: But raising taxes in order to do it?
WARREN: Oh my goodness! Oh dear! Are you worried that billionaires are going to go hungry?
He was handed the absolute strongest post-Covid economy in the industrialized world. And he’s singlehandedly fucked it up. And eventually even many of his most diehard voters will realize it. And it’ll be a painful realization for them.
Former US ambassador to Hungary: "After years watching Hungary suffocate under the weight of its democratic collapse, I came to understand that the real danger of a strongman isn’t his tactics; it’s how others, especially those with power, justify their acquiescence." (h/t @bnovak.bsky.social)
Cuomo: I am now running on affordability.
Also Cuomo: there is no “real answer” on affordability.
I know that Medicare/ Medicaid is Democrats’ native language & what they’re happiest speaking but I’d love for SOME prominent person to try the line “they increased the debt limit by $5 trillion in order to triple size of ICE & make its detention center bigger than the whole federal prison system.”
Warnock: "We are engaged in Robin Hood in reverse ... this is socialism for the rich."

Duckworth to Hegseth: "You are blowing through money like my fellow cadets and I did in our first liberty after basic camp. Luckily I didn't end up with a questionable tattoo ... you're just an unqualified yes man who can't tell the president how to keep Americans safe."

LUTNICK: If you build in America, there is no tariff
DEAN: We cannot build bananas in America
terrified to feel optimistic about anything but god, Zohran really is so good

Bernie Sanders: "If you do nothing, you sit back and say, 'it's gonna be terrible.' And that's right. A shutdown will be terrible. But our job is to put the onus on the Republican president, the Republican House, the Republican Senate, the people who control the govt"
