@thebrianlehrershow.bsky.social Can you please devote an entire segment to the senator's remarks, and make it about how we can be sure to not let people like her get away with this kind of thing? Make it about new steps for holding people accountable for these kinds of things.

Trump in August: "From the day I take the oath of office, we’ll rapidly drive prices down, and make America affordable again. Prices will come down. You just watch. They’ll come down and they’ll come down fast."

Trump now: “It's hard to bring things down once they're up. You know, it's very hard."

Blue cross is cutting off anesthesia for long surgeries now. They're capping the time they'll pay for. Maybe we need to put a cap on insurance company profits.

i'm just a small-time lawyer but i think the way to play it politically would have been to say, "Trump has promised unconstitutional prosecutions of a long list of his perceived enemies. to prevent this abuse of office i am today issuing pardons to [everyone Trump has singled out]," Hunter included.

BU cut its humanities and social science graduate programs in what seems like retaliation for students striking for better pay. Alumni should stop giving money, and alumni/employers should agree to not hire BU students. Fight back!

RFKj says we didn't have to try to stop racism if we can just make black children more resilient.
Trump HHS nominee RFK Jr.:

If you give Black children “resilience” then “the inevitable racism” will “bounce off” them like they are “the Avengers” because “they will be immune to it” and “then we don’t have to stop racism altogether, because we’re never going to be able to do that.”

I don't want to sound alarmist or anything, but I'm not sure it's a good idea to skip FBI background checks and bury congressional ethics reports about nominees to the most important posts in the federal government.
