Reporter: What’s going on with those posts on X that are clearly trolling the president?
Newsom: I hope it’s a wake up call for the president. I’m just following his example. If you have issues with what I’m putting out, you sure as hell should have concerns with what he’s putting out

Happy b’day, “American Idiot” — released as a single 21 years ago today, and written in the wake of the Iraq War.
“The country had gone into a war based on lies,” said Billie Joe Armstrong, “and no one seemed to care. .. It was a song that came from a very honest, pissed-off place.”

Yes, we warned about all of it last year. Every last detail, every policy. Watched every rally speech, every interview, every campaign video. Posted thousands of clips about it all. Most completely or largely ignored by legacy media.
And yes, it is going to get much worse.

🧵 I just want to clear up some misconceptions about what Social Security actually is and how it works.
You, as an individual, do not have an "account" with SSA where your FICA contributions have been saved for when you retire. It's not at all comparable to an investment account.

Booker: He was made to kneel before the authority of the executive… They treated a member of the United States senate violently after he identified himself, dragged him out of a room, threw him upon the ground, and put him in handcuffs

The most inspiring chapters in our nation's history came when Americans faced down some of our country's darkest demons.
Those moments, like our own, were difficult to live through but also brought the chance to bring out the best in us, with enduring consequences.

Rightfully, the cuts to Medicaid (over 10M people will lose their health care) and the tax cuts for the rich have been the story of the disastrous Republican budget bill.
But I read the whole thing. And there are some hidden rats in there you need to know about.

The so called “SAVE” act is literally voter suppression, a poll tax and discrimination against women all wrapped up in one. A GOP trifecta.

A tricky thing about modern society is that no one has any idea when they don’t die.
Like, the number of lives saved by controlling air pollution in America is probably over 200,000 per year, but the number of people who think their life was saved by controlling air pollution is zero.

Remember: Almost all of us are the descendants of immigrants who fled persecution, or were brought to America under duress, or sought better lives for themselves and their descendants.
Politicians who stoke fear and hatred over immigration want you to forget this.

b) maybe you don't need those services anyway (bc you don't understand what they do)

When I was doing dissertation fieldwork I was struck by how often well-off white people talked about trash in Benton Harbor. A newly-formed "parks conservancy" had been granted control over park maintenance as one of the last acts of the departing emergency manager,
