I live in a solid blue state with a Dem trifecta.

You’ll never guess why it’s so expensive to live here (Sarcasm)

Things are expensive because social programs, good schools, higher wages, and all the things people claim to love are expensive.

Y’all never talk about that part.

Nothing is free.
That's absolving him of any accountability, you can't keep saying Democrats would do so much more for ppl if they had more power when you can look at solid Blue States that are hemorrhaging people bc they can't afford to live there. Libs believe a good economy trickles down to a better life for all

Trust me, I know there is a lot going on. All of it is orders of magnitude more important than what I’m about to say…but I”m not going to let that stop me.

There is no way that it should be legal or acceptable for online shopping platforms to automatically opt you into “delivery insurance”.

The House GOP will do literally anything to avoid investigating what looks to be the largest pedo ring on the planet.

Now they want to probe Bad Bunny’s Super Bowl appearance.

I don’t spend a ton of time at the Whipple protest but I appreciate the hell out of those that do.

Standing out in 9 degrees and blowing snow to let them know we won’t look away from what they are doing and we won’t forget the ones they’ve taken away.

That’s a patriot in my book.

this is comically evil. brazenly anti-social. just absolute black-pilled nihilism. we will not have a republic, we will not be free, until we regulate these companies to the point where — at a bare minimum — they're too afraid to put stuff like this down on paper.

Nothing will be able to be close to “normal” until people are arrested, prosecuted, and actually held accountable for their actions

I don’t really want to go back to before. I want the loopholes that have existed since “normal times” closed so it’s harder to accomplish what Republicans have so far
We’re not going suddenly to wake up and discover that all is back to normal. But yesterday offered some promise that a hard-earned awakening could lie ahead.

Hi @stephaniemiller.bsky.social @glennkirschner.bsky.social 👋🏻 The death of the 7yo you mentioned on today’s show happened Trump’s first term.

Did Biden’s DOJ ever investigate it?

Not only do people need to be prosecuted, a number of DHS departments need to be straight up abolished.

Dear Rob Wittman,
I have the misfortune of being your constituent and knowing how little you actually represent our interests. Nearly every hand in this crowded ballroom went up when I asked about how many people weren’t listened to by you.
