Denverite. Loving twin. Sound like I'm irritated even though it is just me trying to comply with the character limit. Socially liberal. Economically progressive. Have a heart.
Well, thank you @anandwrites.bsky.social for being so on point once again.

I am not sure why people don't understand the difference between support of the conduct of the political nation state of Israel and broad antisemitism cannot reside in the same person. Every single time I hear, like, Ted Cruz open his mouth, it's there. The right-wing is so antisemitic it hurts.

She's just after media fame. There has never been a moral compass in #MAGAland. It is always just about how many eyeballs and how many dollars one can get.
CNN: In the last couple of weeks or so, she's become kind of an ally on some issues. What do you make of this?
Auchincloss: No, John, she hasn't.

Things get lost but this week Trump nominated a marine ecology scientist to run CFPB with no intention to confirm him, just to keep the clock running on Russ Vought's control of the agency, which without a nominee named would otherwise run out.

Today would be a great day to ban members of Congress and their families from trading stocks, don't you think?
A week before he voted to cut Medicaid, Republican Congressman Rob Bresnahan dumped up to $130,000 worth of stock in four companies that manage nearly half of all Medicaid enrollees in the country.

Mike Johnson doesn't even mean anything at this point given the defense of Jan 6.
Politics (and policy) are all just word salad for comm teams and consolidated media empires to make a penny on partisan viewers that have gone down the rabbit hole and can no longer parse language.

These are people who view human bodies in terms of capital and power.
How is anyone surprised about the number of economists, industry giants, politicians, judges, that will be in the Epstein Files?
Trump was actually doing them all a favor by making it about himself instead of the #boysclub.

And there will be plenty of them there as well. It's because the files aren't a partisan issue. They are a toxic masculinity and power issue.

At least Dems got a ceremonial vote on the ACA subsidies in the senate so Susan Collins can vote against her party on that knowing it won’t pass but she’ll be able to run on another vote that allows her to pretend to be a moderate. The deal is an in-kind contribution to Collins.

If you think the people throwing Great Gatsby-esque parties for themselves, while millions were denied their food assistance, are all of a sudden going to grow a conscience and save affordable healthcare, you clearly have not been paying attention.
