Air conditioning. Cereal. I like to get the daily news.
Also funny bc he’s very obliviously an unprincipled fraud eager to just please whoever is in the room with him. A quality famously loved by voters!
i think gavin newsom fucking sucks and if you ever try to guilt me into voting for him i’ll scream

Nobody ever talks about ice on ICE crime!
Today at the Whipple Federal Building in Minnesota while federal agents rushed the protest crowd, one agent is filmed pushing a protester and slipping on ICE. Another agent has his pepperball gun broken and he slips on the cartridge holder while dropping pepperballs all over.

I mean these people already exist in the wild. It’s not like they’re locked in cages until duty calls. And they currently have the backing of the state.
It’s worth considering that an overnight dismantling of ICE in 2029 would release into the wild a whole herd of specialists in violence with scant other marketable skills.

The next democratic president will have an enormous task of rebuilding any number of government agencies and repairing international relationships Trump destroyed. Would be nice if they thought it even possible to do more than one thing!
Schumer as a major American metro is being brutally occupied by Trump goons: "The affordability crisis will be our focus throughout 2026 because that's what the American people are demanding"

I don’t even get this but my wife did recently break her tooth on a granola bar! Still alive tho

Kind of insane Dems are choosing to focus on “affordability” above all else when you have people like Sherry who think currently things are more affordable!
Despite years of "economic anxiety" discourse, the core drivers of Trump support have always been bigotry and misinformation.

Leavitt: "I would encourage Gov. Walz and other Democrats who are demeaning law enforcement to sit down and have a cup of coffee with an ICE agent"

Contra conventional wisdom here, I’d like a freak in the streets, not in the sheets
Brian is on the nose about Democratic strategists who are too busy "looking at their spreadsheets" to seize upon the outrage in the streets.

Ok but what does the moderate-but-secretly-conservative made up guy guiding Chuck Schumer’s actions think about all this
This is incredible: 81% of working class and 83% of young voters have seen video of Renee Good's killing, per new data I've obtained. Majority of working class disapproves of ICE enforcement. ICE brutality is breaking through big time.

Some thoughts on this here:

This is the dynamic across most of America: Liberal cities generate revenue, which state governments then transfer to benefit conservative rural areas, whose residents despite city-dwellers and consistently vote to harm them. But politicians endlessly pander to rural voters and demonize cities.
Another critical piece of missing context in this story: tax dollars flow from the MSP metro to rural Minnesota. People in the city subsidize the lifestyles of people living in the country minnesotareformer.com/2023/12/04/t...

Cripes a’mighty people, Steven Miller is not staging a militarized ethnic cleansing and sending the border cops to murder people in the street to distract from the Epstein files. He’s doing it because he and Trump (and Vance and Homan and Noem etc) really really want to.

Luckily only one thing happens at a time in the real world or we’d need a government that’s capable of working on “affordability” AND addressing the fact that ICE is terrorizing neighborhoods. What a bunch of losers, man.
It turns out that everything in politics is "soup de jour" or "bait" except talking about how you want to reduce health care costs by 0.05%.
NEW: Kristi Noem is facing by far the most credible impeachment effort of Trump's 2nd term. Some House Dems are fuming.

"Noem is just soup du jour," one told @axios.com. "It's all performative bullsh*t."

This is why Dems lose. What can they even do about affordability? What does that even mean? “Things in your life will be cheaper” is so far downstream of anything they’d even do it’s laughable.

Musk is a clown but it is very funny that there’s a weird circle of “America is great bc freedoms and as such you must adhere to jingoistic dogma about America bc it’s great bc freedoms and as such…” that so many people believe
I'm starting to question this guy's commitment to free speech

As we know, the Trump administration is full of liars. So why does anyone extend any good faith to these people?
Zero percent chance this is true.

ICE can arrest Dems and illegally refuse them access to facilities and Dems still aren’t willing to flatly say they won’t vote for more funding

even aside from the casual racism this nitwit deploys, imagine how dumb you'd have to be to not understand why people might more readily protest a murder carried out by their government, for which their government is unrepentant, than than a murder by an individual.
