So Donald Trump’s big donors and giant corporations get massive tax breaks, but Americans waiting for SNAP payments are told to eat dirt? Did I get that right?

There is literally no Western politician alive that I can think of that has incited more hate, bigotry, and violence than Donald Trump.
That so many in our public life, in our 'liberal' media, have just memory-holed 10 years of nonstop incitement and abuse from him is shameful.

Heartbroken for Julia, Wesley, and the two officers taken too soon. Heroes, parents, neighbors—gone because a man with a documented mental illness still got a gun. We had an assault weapons ban. It worked. We can save lives. Doing nothing is a choice.

I continue to be absolutely stunned at how many people in positions of power in this country don’t understand that they’re on the wrong side of history
This. Write your name in the history books on the right side of the ledger.
Four R senators and four R House members could announce they're caucusing with the Dems for now, and will vote for Schumer for Majority Leader and Jeffries for Speaker, because the threat to the rule of law is dire. Meanwhile, they'll work with Democrats to construct guardrails against dictatorship.

One pernicious step after another, Bezos encroached on the Post editorial policy. Today he seized it fully. The old Washington Post is gone. I'll never write for it again as long as he's the owner.

Good messaging. From here on out Dems need to promote the story that Trump and his billionaire cronies are stealing from Americans.
Chris Murphy: "Why is Donald Trump engaged in this relentless campaign to try to silence journalists, media companies, and his political opposition? It's because he's trying to steal from you."
