Sen. Dave McCormick on AI: "This is the biggest thing that will happen in our lifetime. It's like the Industrial Revolution on steroids."
Idea for Sunday news shows: Instead of interviewing politicians about stuff they know nothing about, interview 1) experts who do and 2) the people affected by policies.
The real problem is that MAGA men are not manly. Their role models are podcasters, or the Tate bros. They have not adopted a positive model of masculinity. Trump is their figurehead, for God's sake - possibly the most infantile, grievance-filled, phony, pussified muthafukka I have ever heard of.

Ager: I had a neighbor who didn’t go to the doctor because he had a stomach ache and thought he’d be all right. Four months later he died. People are more afraid of the costs than getting the care they need. This is happening all across the country, and we can do better.

Follow up question: "Okay let's talk about Biden. The House was unable to prove wrongdoing despite years of hearings. Are you saying that the DOJ will indict the former President, OR that corruption is okay if it's your guy doing it since their guy did it? Because it's one or the other."

There should be a thorough analysis done of that video to see whether any of the same ICE agents were involved in the prior incident and his execution.

Moriarty: "I was working with the BCA all day. What happened at the scene was that the federal agents stood about 2 feet apart w/ large batons & they physically prevented the BCA from entering the scene ... DHS prevented them from even entering the scene with a lawfully signed, by a judge, warrant."

Had Republicans had just stuck to hammering Democrats on fraud they would've had a potent political weapon. Instead they turned it into a hate campaign against Somalis and an orgy of violence against Minnesotans and now we're getting statements like this 👇
pretty wild statement re: Republican Chris Madel drop from race for MN governor:
"Saying he cannot support the national GOP's 'stated retribution on citizens of our state, nor can I count myself a member of a party that would do so."
