"We've sat here and listened to Trump talk about grocery prices and rent prices and housing prices and egg prices. Yet what’s been done to take on ANY of these issues? How is eliminating DEI gonna lower your grocery costs? How is a withdrawal from the WHO gonna lower your grocery costs? It’s not."

"If it feels like an insurmountable amount of garbage is being dumped on us, that's by design. It’s creating such an avalanche of disappointment that we're left feeling disheartened, disillusioned, and discouraged. He wants us to become so numb to injustice that it becomes our new normal."

I cannot promise that our courts are up to this task. Indeed, there are good reasons to think they will fall short. Donald Trump is hoping they will. We cannot make it easier for him by expecting failure. Instead, we must insist on success. www.democracydocket.com/opinion/cour...

I think responsible people of empathy are suffering from information-poisoning right now.

The more we know about what's really happening in this country; the depths of our fractures, the audacity of our leaders, the less hopeful we can become.

Just my 2 cents. But my goal is to ignore the trolls. Give them zero attention. Block them if they annoy me.

I think the worst thing we can do on this site is re-create the ad hominem/ personal attacks that occur across comments on Twitter/insta/tiktok/ etc

For Trump, it’s not a “downside” that his Cabinet picks “will not be sufficient stewards of these agencies,” Stewart said on the latest episode of his Weekly Show podcast. The point is that they are trying to “dismantle” the agencies themselves.

“These picks are there to do exactly what the Trump voters wanted them to do,” the “Daily Show” host argued.
