We do - as one of your constituents in S. Mpls, I hope this post means you will NOT be capitulating to the Rs by voting for this "deal." DO NOT throw the folks who've endured the SNAP debacle or kept neighbors fed under the bus and make it all for nothing by caving on healthcare/ACA affordability

If we ask them to share actual facts on this, we may start expecting fact checking vs uncritical airing of observation and opinion as 'journalism.' Where will it end?

ah - gotcha. I do believe there are cases where he's all to willing to accept what his 'aides' say uncritically and may not know whether or not he's lying when he parrots those messages. That said, though, I'm not ready to absolve him of accountability for what I think are obvious lies.

THIS. Because, without this, the Rs doing what they want to do with no filibuster to limit their most extreme overreaches, etc., would push a lot of 'centrists' and indies away.

Cannot believe you didn't invite me! (Okay - that's a lie. You don't know me so it would have been kinda weird if you had. But I just heard about the show today and I'm a lil testy about that. 😂)

That would actually be co-occurrence, not correlation. (If we observe a trend of better and better things happening as you age, that may become correlation. 🤓) That said, I - and millions of others - understand that it must be causal in this instance and are deeply grateful.

I believe the policy exists for the opposite reason - to prevent retailers from price gouging folks with waivers and no other options in their community. As usual, this administration is perverting equity policy to its own purposes.

Funny thing is - he's the perfect example to make his own case: an immigrant who has significant negative impact on quality of life for people in the US. No more narcissistic billionaire allowed!

As a researcher, I don't find it weird that they ask whether something that a lot of people are hearing was born out in their experience. No doubt assessing whether that messaging is taking hold despite lack of violent incidents - or, conversely, whether facts are disrupting the false narrative.

At what point in your mind would it be appropriate for people to raise concerns that things are heading in a similar direction? At what point should we begin to learn from history vs suggesting that noticing early parallels is some kind of affront to it? We are not there - but it's not impossible.

But also - I do wish folks would stop suggesting these people are "worth" any more than the rest of us. TOTALLY get that's just a me thing - but it gets me every time I read it.
