One of the depressing things about the last ten years is the way the urge to categorize political actors as 💪winners💪 and 😭losers😭 has been so rewarded but it’s also undeniable that Bernie is a loser who loves losing
NEW: A bill to give pediatric cancer patients better access to lifesaving drug treatments was one vote away from passing. Bernie Sanders cast the vote that stopped it.
@samsteindc.bsky.social tells the story of the families who fought for it, and the political bet behind Sanders’ decision.

Biden: So, folks, that's my message to all of us today, to all who love our country, to all of us are dismayed by the present state of the union: it's time to get up, get up and fight back. Get up. Continue to fight. What's the fight all about? Protecting the constitution.

“Let Nebraska Twist” is probably not a winning campaign message but I would buy the hat and the shirt and the bumper sticker and would follow the candidate around the country

I really don’t get the rules of journalism. “I know you wanted to talk about such and such” why are you saying that. He’s here to speak to the public, about whatever the public wants/needs to talk about. Who cares what he wants to talk about
CASSIDY: I know it's titillating, but I think we need to move beyond the titillation
TAPPER: This isn't about titillation. This is about the fact that you are the chairman of the health committee and you voted to confirm somebody that by all accounts is actually making America less healthy

If there’s any legal or criminal exposure from this or any of trump’s corrupt bargains, I’m for punishing the counterparty, the soldier. Immunize trump and prosecute the goon, Halligan in this case. A reverse roll up, a roll down.

It comes down to what people think would be more fun. What they *want* to be true. POTUS HRC disclosing trump’s arrest would be very sober, morose, “very sad reality” etc. Now imagine the reverse arrangement. What adjectives come to mind.
It'll never not be weird that, when Epstein died, the half-joking-but-no-seriously perpetrator was supposed to be Hillary Clinton — I had a family member repeat this over the summer — and not the actual President of the United States Who Partied with Him.

Anxious about this. Has this been a honeypot. Is there some press catnip in there, like “Mayor Pete’s uncle appears 147 times”.

We put the most important product any of us buy in the hands of someone who has never filed an insurance claim in his life.
Trump: "I want the money to go into an account for people where they buy their own health insurance. It's so good. The insurance will be better. It'll cost less. Everybody is gonna be happy. They're gonna feel like entrepreneurs. They're actually able to go out & negotiate their own insurance"

We want to drive down the cost of living so we’ll seize containers of cheap consumer goods. Don’t worry, we’ll exploit the public’s deep, seething hatred of label fraud.
Interview she did with somebody (full one isn’t online afaict) where she says one of the things she’s gonna focus on as part of the transition team is finding unused authorities the mayor has, citing the president’s previously unused power to enforce of Made-in-America labeling rules as an example

“support whomever you’d like” NO support somebody worth supporting
support whomever you’d like, but what is frustratingly dishonest about this take is that actual issue — the thing critics have identified as the problem — isn’t the decision of the 21-year old to get the tattoo, but of the judgment of the 40-year old who still has it.
I think political writers actually should have an opinion about a guy in his 40s having a Nazi tattoo. The decision to keep it on their body may tell us more than their website.

The tattoo is disqualifying. Period. But since we’re still trapped in this discussion, those who think this is a candidate who confronts the realities of the trump era, are fooling themselves.

Senator Gallego understands politics, obviously. Yet I still believe this is a missed opportunity. Siding with trump against one of trump’s natural allies would worsen the division. Do Dems practice wedge politics at all?

It’s worse than difficult, it’s pointless.
you know it is not at all difficult to acknowledge the legitimate concerns about the tattoo and still make a case for the candidate. but this would require maturity, a perspective outside ones own and a willingness to lose a little face, which means it won’t happen.
