I can’t believe people in the room don’t push back. It doesn’t matter if he’s the president, part of holding him accountable is standing up to his bullying— especially if he’s doing it right in front of your face
“You’re a stupid person” — Trump lashes out at a reporter who presses him on the fact that the suspected DC shooter was actually thoroughly vetted before he was let in the US from Afghanistan

Trump sharing that obscene video was totally disgusting. Any regular person could say as much.
It's genuinely pathetic to see elected leaders like Speaker Johnson twisting themselves into pretzels to put on a show for the President like this.

Q: What does it say that president released a video of him pooping on the American people?
MIKE JOHNSON: You can argue he's probably the most effective person who has ever used social media. He's using satire to make a point. He's not calling for the murder of his political opponents.

Earlier this year, Dr. Jane Goodall sat down for an interview for Brad Falchuk’s new Netflix series, Famous Last Words.
The premise of the series is to interview people on the condition that the interview not air until the subject has passed away.

remember it's only fascism if it comes from the fascist region of Europe. Otherwise it's just sparkling conservatism.
Maybe this is the one I should just pin and tap the sign when people show up in a lather
Trump is a fascist threat; I've said it many times. I merely refuse to join many of you in your fever-dream that the United States is now a fascist regime when it's not even a Hungarian or Turkish regime. I want people to be sober-minded and determined, not hysterical and ineffective.

Most voters make an emotional decision based on vibes, and then backfill a Serious and Respectable sounding rationale they can tell themselves, and especially pollsters. But there's a lucrative polling/consulting sector that relies heavily on professing not to understand this.
last night I was talking to a community organizer from Mississippi and he was like “who even remembers what milk cost last month! I forget by the time I reach the checkout! It’s two dollars or something!” and he’s got a better grasp on how people engage with prices than the entire political class
