The Tyranny of Tiny Men
The way to fight back is not to give up on anyone. The way forward is to stand with each other, for each other.

As the Trump admin predictably rolls the National Guard into the streets and a Republican army of enablers roots for military violence against Americans, some words on why, and the way forward.

More of this. Use every one of Trump's giveaways as an excuse to hammer him about restoring ACA subsidies.
WATCH — @repstevenhorsford.bsky.social : “My amendment would redirect that $40 BILLION from Argentina to fund the ACA subsidies for two years… a far better use of taxpayer dollars.”
Why do we have money for Argentina while our own people lose their health care? How does this make us great?

You can flee the country to avoid Trumpism all you want, but it will get you one way or another if you don't stop it now.

Rick Scott was CEO of a large, for-profit healthcare company called HCA. While Rick Scott was CEO, HCA stole so much money from Medicare they were fined $1.7 Billion.
Rick Scott told me his plan would be to take all of the remaining ACA subsidies and redistribute them to HSA accounts and people can then buy whatever insurance a state certifies. Basically a repeal/replace.
He denied when I asked wouldn’t that create two-tiered system where sick pay much more…

Neguse: The house since August 3rd has been in session for 12 days. Are you familiar with Steve Bannon? He compared the Congress to the Duma. Do you think that’s an apt comparison?
Cole: No

Just the tackiest man on the planet.
Trump: Take a look at this if you want to see detail. Most people do a sign and paint it on the wall. So that's half inch thick bronze. Carved. By a very talented person. And it's brass. It's pure brass.

Quite possibly the most cursed ‘economic indicator’ I have ever seen.

The extended cut. It’s like a scene from a Christopher Guest movie. 😂
This is Russian company "Idol" with their anthropomorphic, AI robot being shown for the first time
It takes a few steps and immediately falls over
The sound only makes it funnier

This is wild and I’ve never seen it before. But it is incredible how so many of these dudes have similar origin stories. ‘See, I got started by trying to see—and eventually exploit—as many naked women as I could. But there’s more to me than just—hang on, let me just move that bong out of the shot …’
Somebody please show Bari Weiss my interview with Portnoy from 13 YEARS AGO TELLING (AND REPEATEDLY DEFENDING) RAPE JOKES. Why is CBS platforming a dude with a looong history of misogyny? Forward to a 1:35 to see my confrontation with him. youtu.be/B7QTahhIBqI

Also, the HHS Secretary sold cocaine in college and was a heroin addict for 14 years so it is RICH whenever they go after people for old drug offenses.
Even if you don’t care about people who use drugs - you really should care about other people - they will still just lie that you are a person who uses drugs when they want other people not to care about you
After José's arrest sparked outrage in August, DHS attacked him in a press release, calling him a "criminal illegal alien, not a firefighter." DHS has cited a 12-year-old drug delivery charge while failing to acknowledge the charge was dismissed.

It’s amazing it’s taken Ds this long to get here. Don’t get me wrong, this is great. But Rs wouldn’t have thought twice about language like this from day one while we’ve still been holding onto some sense of ‘Well, if we stick to norms and decorum, the public will definitely be with us.’
Jeffries: "It's unbelievable that for 7 plus weeks Rep.-elect Adelita Grijalva has been denied the ability to serve more than 800,000 people in Arizona because Republicans are running a pedophile protection program."

Kamala Harris was literally going to give people money to help them get their first home. But some of those people would be Black and brown. Not to mention, she was a Black woman. And, as a nation, we simply couldn’t have that, now could we.

That he’s leaving the party at some point has been the worst kept secret in politics for nearly two years. The only question now is will he do it before or after he’s out of office because once his term is up, he’s done in DC.
