must be incredibly frustrating and disheartening to have federal funding that was promised to you for important work suddenly and arbitrarily ripped away

He's saying shit like "Trump wouldn't have won without me"
Like, yes, we know, that's why we're mad at you...
Or, "Trump didn't release the Epstein files because he's in them."
And you're like, right, no shit...

No, say it louder. It's absolute bullshit how Across the Spider-Verse made over $300 million in profit, yet neither Marvel nor Sony could be bothered to defray the hospital bills of the man who co-created Miguel O'Hara. Instead they left his wife and family scrambling to afford to live.
feels kind of obscene to say this now, but Peter David probably could've spent a few more years with his loved ones had he received just a little help from an industry he earned millions of dollars for

he wants to abolish the income tax and fund the government almost entirely through tariffs, thereby delivering the most regressive bonanza to the rich in the history of American taxation. He has said this many many times. He said it *at the announcement* and yet pieces like this just ignore it.

It’s very weird to me that in all the (genuinely comical) hermeneutic reading of Trump’s decision to annihilate the global trade system, no one actually quotes one of the major reasons he himself cites for it:

TRUMP DITCHES FALLEN SOLDIERS' DIGNIFIED TRANSFER FOR GOLF DINNER
Trump won't attend the dignified transfer of 4 U.S. soldiers at Dover AFB who died in Lithuania.
He'll be at his Saudi-backed LIV Golf dinner in Florida instead. The soldiers were honored by Lithuania's president.

"no modern administration has insisted on this standard before, & the idea that foreigners who are here on valid visas should live under fear that their every political opinion might become grounds for sudden incarceration in Louisiana or El Salvador is inhumane and close to un-American in spirit."

You see, the Trump Administration is losing court case after court case because judges, you know, lawyers, are applying the law.
Now, imagine what CORPORATE LAW FIRMS could do if they didn't voluntarily bend the knee like cowards and become complicit with Trump's agenda—a pox on all of them.

Medicare for All isn't radical.
What's radical is that we are the only major country not to guarantee health care as a human right. Every other major country figured out years ago how to provide health care to all at a much lower cost.
Please don't tell me we can't do the same.

I am telling you most people don't know it's happening.
I know this is going to sound naive or earnest, but I genuinely find myself shocked by how little people seem to be upset by the levels of corruption we're seeing. Is that the median voter assumes everyone is corrupt already? Or isn't actually getting stories about the corruption?

This is a Facebook post by Missouri State Rep. David Tyson Smith (D-Columbia). Rep. Mark Alford is one of the members of Congress who got rocked at a townhall in late February.
So now they're not just refusing to hold townhalls. They're apparently demanding people keep their office number a secret.

I just don't understand why Joe and Mika haven't gone to Trump's house to sit down with him in a cozy setting and explain why this stuff is bad.
Obviously he's just confused, because he's such a rational person to go visit, and *we're all* stupid, right???
