I think this point is far more important than we realize. The fact that we consume completely different media showing us completely different things is a huge driver of division.
This may explain why there’s an aggressive response to people who merely post Kirk’s own words. It threatens the existence of the alternate Kirk - the motivational speaker that had been marketed to young kids and white Christian groups through selective quotation & clips.

When a right-wing man murdered Democratic lawmakers in Minnesota, progressives asked MAGA to tone down the rhetoric to prevent more violence. Within hours of Kirk’s murder, motive still unknown, the right is demanding that the government wage a campaign of violence against their enemies.

/3 We can also call out who has encouraged and normalized political violence and made it government policy. We can note the irony of it in many cases. But celebrating it — yelling “hooray” — is like celebrating going to war. People will die and it won’t be fun.

They are a cult, you are a coalition. Act accordingly.
This premise that "Republicans can say anything they want." is just weird.
I've never seen Republican speech as constrained by fear - of Trump, of their constituents, of primaries etc. - as it currently is.

I will vote for any candidate that can do these 3 things:
1. Stop the authoritarian takeover of America
2. Restore and revitalize public services
3. Don’t spam my phone

The extremely simple fact is that Jeff Epstein was the most notorious child sex trafficker in history, and the President of the US was his close personal friend for decades
Acting like this is complicated is absurd. The man knew what Epstein did, didn't care, and participated

it's amazing the amount of time and effort Democrats spend painstakingly critiquing their messaging while Trump just fires from the hip while his brain leaks out of his ears and it's good enough for 312 electoral votes and winning control of the entire federal government

Been saying this from the start.
To get out from under this we will require a substantive rewrite of much of the constitution. A "third republic," including such things as a parliamentary, proportional-representation, unicameral legislature, limits on presidential power, court reorganization, etc.

Lots of Republicans are going to lose their seats over this budget - federal, state, and local.
It will not cost Trump anything, other than finally some House oversight his last 2 years maybe.
Which is how these things always go with Trump - others always pay for his sins.

I think about investing a lot. Most of the time just staring into space.
Beating the S&P500 year after year is a tough adventure. I wonder if most are playing the wrong game by stock picking to win.
It might be easier to direct / custom index & exclude 20-50 of the weakest members of the s&p500.

Let’s be clear: ICE injured and detained the president of SEIU California for peacefully observing.
ICE picked the wrong side. The wrong state. The wrong person. and the wrong union. David Huerta stood up. And now 750,000 SEIU workers are standing up behind him.

the american electoral system is basically 500,000 information-resistant people across a handful of states taking a guess and then going "haha! oops!" every two years. this process takes 18 months and costs four trillion dollars every time
