Federal agents pepper-sprayed a baby girl in Little Village this weekend. There's no limit to what these thugs will do.

Trump claims that food stamps "puts the country in jeopardy. People that are able-bodied can do a job, they leave their job because they figure they can pick this up, it's easier."

I've noticed the opposing team's fans only cheer when the opponents score on us. To win those fans over, I recommend we score on ourselves repeatedly; that will surely make them so happy they'll start supporting us. And I'm sure all our fans will keep cheering for us—who else is there to cheer for?

Just watched Bernie Sanders on Maddow and in response to whether Schumer should step down from leadership, his answer was "Look Schumer is part of the Dem Establishment and if he steps down who will replace him?"
I mean... Bernie, WTF???? Take a damn stand.

A softball interview on a sympathetic outlet and he still can't help but let us all know he's not only out-of-touch with the struggles of regular folk, but also that he knows fuck-all about *his profession*. A "real estate mogul" who doesn't understand the effect of a longer mortgage. Incredible.
INGRAHAM: “Your housing director proposed a 50 year mortgage. It has enraged MAGA - a giveaway to the banks.”
OUT OF TOUCH BILLIONAIRE TRUMP: “It’s not even a big deal… You go from 40 to 50.”
INGRAHAM: “It’s 30.”

It is not meaningfully different from what they voted down 14 times.
Durbin is a YES on this deal: “At Democrats’ urging, today’s bill is not the same one we’ve voted down 14 times. Republicans finally woke up and realized their Groundhog Day needed to end. This bill is not perfect, but it takes important steps to reduce their shutdown’s hurt.”

So it turns out... the US air travel system was incredibly, deeply dependent on federal funding to just run day-to-day all this time, to the benefit of private airline shareholders, when everyone thinks that state-run trains are leeching off the government. Weird!

Republicans seem to think that the norms created by the social contract are just sort of a immutable laws of nature and that therefore, tearing up the social contract will have no negative consequences for them, and I am, very much not looking forward to that thesis being tested
