Trump on Air Traffic Controllers: The one’s that stayed, I'm sending them a $10,000 bonus.

Yeah, the people who plastered “the shutdown is the Democrats’ fault” on every government website are eager to dig into some good faith negotiations next month.

8 Democratic Senators signaled that the shutdown wasn’t extraordinary Republican evil and incompetence, just typical Washington gridlock that could be settled for nothing.

Documentation of erasure is so important, and there should be a progressive think tank funded to track “Stuff we can fix immediately and not quietly.”
1/ The US Government has quietly removed a memorial to Black soldiers who died in World War II from the Netherlands American Cemetery in Margraten, South Limburg. The move follows a complaint from the right-wing Heritage Foundation to the American Battle Monuments Commission. ⬇️

Trump knows his followers live vicariously through him, but his lifestyle porn goes down easier when he’s coasting on his predecessor’s economy.
When he’s driven up prices and wrecked the safety net, I’m not sure people are so excited about his new bathroom or his name on a football stadium.

Coney-Barrett: Destroying women’s rights is super-feminism, actually.
This is so embarrassing, man. The six most influential Republicans in the country with the unreviewable power to make the law whatever they want, patting each other on the back for their courage. Butter-soft.
