Talarico hits hard: America's so split we can't even share a Super Bowl—two halftime shows, two realities. What's driving this? Fear. Pure fear. But Bad Bunny's stage? Nothing but joy, unity, beats that lift us all. Ditch the division. Embrace the vibe. One nation, one show. #sheshed

A two month old-detained in the ICE concentration camp at Dilley-was rushed to the hospital this weekend
The boy’s extreme youth made him particularly vulnerable in a prison setting
Worse, they knew he was sick-and couldn’t care for him-because the facility didn’t even have a doctor

The US had an Iran strike package teed up and ready to launch in mid-late January.
Bibi told Trump his plans weren’t big enough.
Now we’re sending everything with wings to the Middle East.

Yeah, advocate for who you want the candidate to be, persuade people, and then also realize that whoever comes out of the process is better on every single issue than any Republican who comes out of their process. That’s the whole point.

“This constant lying is not aimed at making the people believe a lie, but at ensuring that no one believes anything anymore.
A people that can no longer distinguish between truth and lies cannot distinguish between right and wrong…
With such a people, you can do whatever you want.”

My thoughts on Stephen A Smith potentially running for president are:
Could we please stop fucking electing celebrities and get back to the business of running the country with boring people who just want to do a good job.

For anyone keeping track of the Iran buildup, we’ve now sent more AWACS into theater.
Curious to see how tomorrow’s talks go, but it’s pretty clear the administration isn’t planning for them to be good.

Medicare for All would save $450B a year.
Every dollar spent on food stamps generates $1.50-$1.80 in economic activity.
Each dollar going to low-wage workers adds $1.20 to the economy overall.
