Just so I'm clear:
TV host says we should kill every homeless person? No big deal
TV host says the right must "go to war" with the left? Pfft.
TV host says the government is cracking down on critics? Well, the government cracks down on him for the criticism.
Free speech, everyone.

Legitimate question: What are you doing aside from posting through it? It’s technically your constitutional role to, for instance, regulate commerce with foreign nations. Are you going to challenge tariffs in court or just use it for fodder next November?
Today's abysmal job numbers are just another consequence of Trump's economic sabotage.
But instead of taking responsibility — Trump lashes out. He has nobody to blame but himself.

"Donald Trump inherited an economy built on years of steady job growth. In just seven months, he’s managed to screw it up — just like he’s screwed up everything else in his life."

Also the fact that Cherelle Parker is not out front and center doing everything in her power to protest the SEPTA cuts basically invalidates the entire point of having a mayor. I understand the direct impact she can have is limited but she should still be incessantly denouncing it.

The terrible CR Budget bill — written by right-wing House Republicans with no input from anybody but themselves — was passed tonight with the support of 10 Democrats.
An absolute failure of Democratic leadership. NOBODY in the Senate should have voted for this dangerous bill.

City Council approved the Sixers’ proposal over the overwhelming objections of the city’s planning and design community, the surrounding neighborhoods, and dozens of organizations. This is a bad deal. I want to be clear that I will not support state funding for this project. 1/2

Listen, if any level of government has the opportunity to give a billionaire a handout, they will jump at the chance regardless of the will of the people. But even though this was inevitable, I'm still fucking pissed off about it.
#BREAKING Philadelphia City Council has approved the primary bill needed to authorize the 76ers' arena proposal in a 12-5 vote on Thursday.
