there’s a lot that is already being said about Sarah Hurwitz’s wildly illustrative display of cognitive dissonance in this clip, but i’m hung up specifically on how she describes Jews during the Holocaust as “emaciated” and Palestinians in Gaza today as “skinny”
I'm struck by this clip of former Obama speechwriter Sarah Hurwitz saying Holocaust education has backfired in part because people Palestinians as victims: "They think the lesson of the Holocaust is…you fight the big powerful people hurting the weak people."

Darkly funny that him causing the 2008 financial crash as directly as an individual can wasn't the dealbreaker. And that it took him remaking "Hitch" but with the world's biggest pedophile to make it happen.

it is also very important to remember that these are *Republican policies* not *Trump policies*. this is discrediting their entire domestic agenda and not something that should slip into memory when Trump is gone
The important thing to bear in mind as Trump's popularity begins to wobble is that the disastrous economic consequences of the things he's done in the first 10 months of this term have not even *begun* to hit. We've been coasting on the fumes of the economy he inherited and soon they'll be gone.
my wife and her entire team were fired over Zoom from their program manager jobs at a local nonprofit Seattle hospital this Spring because Trump just stopped paying Medicaid reimbursements. and this is a relatively affluent urban center

we're really not prepared for what's coming

this is not the way _progressive taxes_ are supposed to work, but conservatives have always believed that people should be punished for being poor, and always resented being taxed more for being rich.
A reminder: Tariffs are a regressive tax. The anti-Robin Hood.

Trump's current tariff settings effectively impose a tax rate on low-income households that's roughly TRIPLE that on high-income folks. That's not the way taxes are supposed to work.

An interesting thing here, given the news, is that the secretary of education is the defendant in a suit accusing her of turning a blind eye to the operations of a child molestation ring that, there is no dispute, operated within her business from the 1970s to the 1990s
This is a direct attack on our children & our future.

At a time when we need to be doing more to prepare our kids to compete in the global economy, Trump is going after the agency that strengthens American education. Once again, he's helping our adversaries & competitors.
Trump administration to announce dismantling of much of Education Dept.
President Donald Trump signed an executive order in March seeking to close the department, but only Congress has the power to do that.

Q: Why wait for Congress to release the Epstein files? Why not just do it now?

TRUMP: It's not the question that I mind. It's your attitude. I think you're a terrible reporter. It's the way you ask these questions. You start off with a man who's highly respected asking him an insubordinate question

for decades democrats have avoided delivering justice to the people wrecking this country by being squeamish that it might be perceived as uncouth retaliation
Trump will not just be four years of bad management. The culture of these organizations will be fucked for a long time. The pressure to retaliate and clean house will be strong, and no-one wants to work in a war zone.
