@jamestalarico.bsky.social , please consider instead running for governor of Texas. We can’t have two of the brightest stars of the new progressive movement battling each other.

Did you know that before Nixon and Reagan, health insurance companies in America were non-profit? Yep, they screamed about "socialized medicine" and gradually shifted the focus of our entire healthcare system from public welfare to... making bucks off illness.

The SC has judicial review because they decided they do (Marbury v Madison 1803), not because the Constitution says they do. If they continue to base decisions on politics rather than law, they will quickly become irrelevant. And we will not be required to abide by their decisions.
My concern is that the originalists on the Supreme Court will try everything possible to interpret it to fit their own narrative.
There isn’t much our Supreme Court can do. And just to be absolutely clear: the Supreme Court does not have the power to overrule or rewrite our Constitution.

Striking a boat full of unarmed civilians is murder. The first strike was murder. The followup strike was also murder.
We're not at war. It's not a "war crime". Everyone involved, including the POTUS, SecDef, the Admiral who relayed it and the person who pressed the button needs to be on trial.

First off, my suspension has ended. Got a little harsh with a post a few days ago but I didn’t have my feet on the ground and I’m sorry if I offended anyone. Will try to be more chipper. Knock on wood!

The 1930s taught us what appeasement gets you: a stronger enemy and a weaker democracy. Some of today’s Dems still haven’t learned it. You don’t bargain with extremists holding people’s livelihoods hostage. You hold the damn line. #HistoryRepeats

Dems backed Trump into a corner where he’s advocating for starving Americans and hemorrhaging support. If they vote to let him off the hook in exchange for nothing it’s a cataclysmic failure. I know people are in pain but insulating Republicans from political consequences is not the answer.

I think he will be so pissed today that he will demolish the rest of the White House. Let’s hope he’s in the Oval when that happens.

How many more will we lose to white gang violence and rightwing turf wars?
It’s the culture, you know. These white celebrities glamorize a criminal lifestyle & young inner-suburb kids get trapped in the school-to-influencer pipeline.

Big sigh. Watch this.
Can you see why the Yankees’ moment of silence, the lowered flags, the promise of the Presidential Medal of Freedom, feel like a gut punch to the very people he spent years targeting?
No one wished death on this man, but what we’re seeing right now is too f*cking much.

So MSNBC reportedly fired Matthew Dowd tonight just hours after Jesse Watters called for his "immediate" termination over his Charlie Kirk shooting comments.
Meanwhile, Watters said he's going to "avenge" Kirk's death because "they are at war with us" -- and he'll face no repercussions from Fox.

The MSNBC commentator saying that most political violence has historically come from the left just once again showed how we suffer from failing to learn history. Lynching, pogroms, race riots, the political violence that ended Reconstruction, and against the Civil Rights Movement. Come on.
