“Women of childbearing age should just leave Texas.”
Okay, aside from the economics of that... I’m an eighth generation Texan whose ancestors were among the first-ever to plant oats in places towns later formed. I deserve the right to stay here and fight for my home by telling the truth about it.

You can address the problem of hunger among the poor and homeless without talking about food insecurity among unhoused people
Advocating for the avoidance of Democrats *saying* these things is the same as advocating that we just ignore these things altogether, because how are we supposed to address them otherwise?? Anyone notice there are entire groups of people on this list of supposedly verboten words??
It would be a huge step forward for Democrats and for general clarity in political writing if these terms went away. These came mostly from academic hothouses.

This IS coherent. Let me try: For decades, the globalists and laptop class benefited from free trade and outsourcing, and now they're going to have to pay to rebalance jobs and trade for the working class.
I get it. But Trump didn't run on pain. He ran on making everything cost what it did in 2019.

This Q-Anon stuff is honestly maybe only one or two steps removed from how Fox News described Trump this morning: He's "engineering" the economy to do XYZ, it's all part of the long-term plan, just trust the process, all of this is intentional just get on board. www.mediamatters.org/fox-news/fox...

No one who has ever witnessed a single faculty meeting could ever again claim that college professors are part of some sort of coordinated conspiracy to accomplish anything, let alone turn the entire US into a Marxist utopia/dystopia with an assist from their great pals in corporate boardrooms.

Is it wrong for me to think Trump made his tariff statements today in part to show Scott Bessent who’s boss, after the stock market rallied on news of Bessent being appointed to Treasury?

would have also been good to nuke the Comstock act
The time to do this was late 2022, before Rs took over the House
Scoop: Wyden is teeing up a federal anti-SLAPP bill to introduce by the end of the year, a last-ditch attempt to pass protections for journalists + other critics before Trump takes over. Trump + those in his orbit have used these lawsuits to chill criticism/try to bury critics in legal costs

I remain skeptical that these claimed tariffs will ever take effect. But note that Mexico is the biggest US trading partner and Canada is now essentially tied for second with China.
