just so we’re all clear: the reason they keep using dolls as their example is because they’re trying to frame caring about material stuff as feminine and thus inherently shameful
Bessent says that little girls who are sad about having fewer dolls should just have it explained to them that they will have a better life for it

This is not our first rodeo either. Stay tuned.
Livestreaming was very new the first time we defeated a coalition designed to cut Social Security.
Back then we just had a camera on a phone! Now we've got an incredible coalition dedicated to defeating any effort to cut even a penny from our earned benefits. Stay tuned.

90% of Americans ardently support Social Security. Elon’s lackeys are a wee bit sensitive about it.
WATCH: We asked Marjorie Taylor Greene if she will pledge not to cut Social Security, Medicare, and Medicaid.
Greene tossed Donald Trump's campaign flyers on the floor, told us we "suck", and slammed the door in our face.

The Biden-Harris admin’s “informal policy of refusing to talk about fights with corporate power” led to the political burden of angry billionaires but little political support for doing so because they never told voters.

MSNBC’s premier program preemptively begging Fox News for forgiveness. Weird!
I missed Mika Brzezinski's very bizarre on air apology for a comment David Frum made on air about Pete Hegseth's drinking. You can watch it in this clip. And it's weird for reasons @joshtpm.bsky.social lays out in this post: talkingpointsmemo.com/edblog/whats...

Bluesky breaking news already is very encouraging.
Unlike Meta and X they aren’t openly hostile to links that send audiences outside their walled garden.
Just makes it so cut and dry for journalists and publications to focus attention here!
Not even political just about a functioning news ticker.
