BREAKING:
The White House lashed out at the creators of this ad for "fear-mongering".
It must have really struck a nerve. Maybe they don't like being outed as fascists.
You know what to do: SPREAD THIS EVERYWHERE!

They could have pulled a Weekend at Bernie’s for the entirety of Biden’s presidency and it still would have been better than what we have now.

I guess the reason I'm not worried about #AI taking my job is that after 70 years of trying, the best we've done is an almost-sophisticated version of the Eliza chatbot. #EdTech #eLearning

My latest email to my senators: a 🧵. Hey John, it's time for some tough love. Donald Trump doesn't respect you. To the extent he thinks of you at all, he thinks you're a sucker--so sure you're important, but in his mind nothing more than a little dog that rolls over to ask him to scratch your belly.

Congratulations to the Trump administration on another historic first!
The US Economic Policy Uncertainty Index just hit such a historic high under Trump that it’s literally exploding off the chart.

Seems kinda like bragging about how many people you hit while drunk driving.
Trump on the markets: "Up 2500 points. Nobody has ever heard of it. Gotta be a record."
