This is home run messaging. Call out the bad guys and make it us vs them. Why it took Matthew Dowd to spell it out is a whole other problem

Warren: "With Jeffrey Epstein, I really mean follow the money. Here's the deal - JPMorgan Chase - yes, Jamie Dimon, I'm looking at you -- is Epstein's bank, a close personal relationship that spans years. Shouldn't this be in the JPMorgan's ads?...I'd like to have Dimon come in & under oath testify"

For people who promised to fix things on "Day 1," the Trumpers spend a lot of time blaming a guy who hasn't been president for 10 months.

Hey @1-800-contacts.bsky.social first time order here. Just admit you don’t want people cashing in their rebates.
3 easy steps!
1. PRINT out a piece of paper and fill it out. 2. SNAIL MAIL it to a PO Box. 3. Wait 6-8 WEEKS to receive the rebate.
Just can’t figure out a more efficient way in 2025?

This is a perfect summation of the state of the media. And I’m far too pessimistic at this point to think they’ll get it right anytime soon. Unfortunately it falls to the very critical media people like @gregsargent.bsky.social to keep beating the drum to give the rest of us the factual content
Trump and Stephen Miller have relied on an army of MAGA "influencers" widely disseminating a fraudulent picture of Portland in chaos, to bolster the case for deploying military.
NYT has a good new piece on this. But it made several missteps worth highlighting. 2/

I already beat another guy who cut Medicaid, gave tax breaks to billionaires, and hounded multiple women who accused him of sexual harassment — might as well debate the one actually calling the shots.

It’s definitely 2 but also why not both?
This is, to me, the defining dyamic of everything the last six months. Any game theory notion of deterrence or the shoe being on the other foot ever is entirely gone. Either 1) They don't think they'll ever lose power again or 2) they're confident Democrats won't ever do the same things back to them
Budget agreements won’t matter, funding obligations won’t matter, expended funds on the basis of promised reimbursement won’t matter.
You really don’t get the impression the GOP is thinking through what this means for the second they’re not in control.

Yes! This message all day everyday! Walmart and Amazon are the Welfare Queens
The two companies in Washington State with the most employees on Medicaid are Walmart and Amazon.
So not only are these companies and their billionaire CEOs not paying their fair share in taxes — they’re also not even paying their employees enough for them to afford health care.

My goodness she handed him his ass! Love it
Tanden: Bill Clinton specifically opposed work requirements for Medicaid. He vetoed a bill that had work requirements for Medicaid. So, get your facts straight. You cannot hang this monstrosity on any Democrat.

This is unreal. How are electeds not shouting from the rooftops?
With this budget, ICE alone would have nearly as large a detention operation as all 50 states' prison systems combined. Bigger budget than the Marine Corps. Police-state levels of spending
If the GOP reconciliation bill passes, ICE gets through FY2029:
- $45 billion for detention, on top of the current annual budget of $3.4 billion
- $14.4 billion for transportation and removal, on top of the current annual budget of $750 million
- $8 billion for hiring/retention
- Billions more.

Hullabaloo over Donald Trump's North American trade war feint and Gaza takeover drew attention away from the real dirty work: a purge of federal workers and Elon Musk's unchecked power.

Just a stunning juxtaposition.
Jimmy Carter, a visionary on ending fossil fuels, put solar panels on the White House. Big Oil-backed Ronald Reagan ousted Carter in 1980 and ripped them out
Tonight, as Carter lies in in state in the Capitol, a climate-fueled wildfire is destroying Reagan's former hometown of Pacific Palisades

Very troubling if domestic terrorist was partying with Trump at mar a lago
questions swirl about connection between attacker and mar-a-lago crowd
unconfirmed reports the attacker was seen at mar a lago just last week, probably not true but the fact the rumor is even out there really makes you wonder what else theyre hiding
