A knock-on effect of Trump suddenly looking weak is people feel emboldened to push back against his flunkies too. Turns out the media knows exactly how to do this when they want to

HASSETT: Well if you look at Walmart--
KARL: Wait a minute. I've gotta stop you. The Walmart package this year contains much less than the one last year. That's why the price is less.

How can an economist advise on policies that affect women when he has no respect for them?
Honestly, this makes me question whatever work @americanprogress.bsky.social is doing. How could they not know what an always-wrong bigot he was long before the Epstein emails came out?!
I refuse to believe that Larry Summers' expertise and skills are indispensable in any way. Please find another economist and policy expert, @americanprogress.bsky.social. There are loads out there.

Trump's policies are inflicting so much harm even his allies can see it. Yet he's mostly doing exactly what he promised to. If they revolt over policy, they'll reveal they were fools to back him in the first place. They need a *moral* reason to abandon him. The Epstein files provide just that.

Should I even ask whether Trump will keep these things when no previous president has? He’s also plenty wealthy enough to not need a $50k gift.

YES! unhot guys represent!
The problem with the “Joe Rogan of the left” trope is that the left doesn’t need its own Rogan; it needs an ecosystem where influence isn’t so concentrated. Similar issue here: we don’t need more woke straight hot guys; we need to value the opinions of people who aren’t woke straight hot guys.
Tim Miller makes a plea for more straight, woke influencers: "This is a message for hot straight men with muscles who work out, and who are also woke. We just need you to just do a little bit of commentary."
