No President wants to hasten the day he or she becomes a lame duck. Media obsession with getting Dems to say they want Biden to take on lame-duck status today, is deeply, deeply, deeply, deeply boring. (But of course that's easier for reporters than doing actual work.) #media

A little well-intentioned advice: Are you a rising Democratic Party star just elected to Gov or Senate and want to help consolidate this moment of victory? When the press asks if you're going to primary Joe Biden in 2024, look right in the camera and say, "Absolutely not."

Funny how we’re not hearing about the link between climate change and heat waves from Texas’ fossil-fuel-funded political class.  Why could that be? texastribune.org/2023/06/27/tex…


"Hunter Biden" is this year's "CARAVANS!!!1!!" #Republicans are so breathtakingly cynical---and so determined never to lift a finger to solve Americans' actual problems.

This is just the silliest pandering. McCarthy knows this isn't going anywhere. Hunter Biden got investigated, got charged, and plead guilty. End of story. msn.com/en-us/news/pol…

In the entire history of this country, there has been no such thing as the “major questions doctrine.” Until this group of renegade radical justices decided to give to themselves the power to make decisions that belong in the elected branches. That is John Roberts shameful legacy

astonishing how the Supreme Court has become a smaller legislative branch of the federal government with non-elected legislators in power for their lifetimes; think six smirking Newt Gingriches with the power to affect lives of millions of Americans--for as long as they live.

Quite frankly, expanding the Supreme Court to 13 members to reflect our current thirteen federal appellate courts is just plain ole common sense backed up firmly by precedent.

Reminder: the Constitution does not specify the number of seats on the Supreme Court. This power was left to Congress, which set the Supreme Court's size at one chief justice and five associates in the Judiciary Act of 1789. It was legally changed seven times. (thread)

Reminder: Hillary won the POPULAR vote by about 3 million. We can "thank" the antiquated Electoral College for Trumplethinskin & the damage to our country for the next three decades ... at least.

Fuck every single one of you who didn’t vote in 2016 because you though Hillary and Trump would be the same. Fuck you forever.

Has there been even ONE 3rd-party run for the Presidency since Nader that was NOT funded by the right/GOP??? I can't think of one. No one should fall for this scam again. If they do, they need to wear their 'right-wing extremist' identity openly and stop lying to themselves.

Elon Musk has just destroyed Twitter by creating the most deranged “read limits” in the history of social media. Let’s be clear: we’re being corralled into paying the richest man on Earth $115/year for a service that’s shittier than it’s ever been. PROOF article on this coming.

To address extreme levels of data scraping & system manipulation, we’ve applied the following temporary limits: - Verified accounts are limited to reading 6000 posts/day - Unverified accounts to 600 posts/day - New unverified accounts to 300/day

#Floriduh #DeSantisIsADangerToTheUSA Oh dear, here's man of integrity, meatball Ron standing with his wife in a studio in front of a beach poster. Ron is so unwoke that he doesn't leave footprints. Literally.

Tucker Carlson mastered the dark art of praising ignorant people for their ignorance--thereby releasing them from any obligation to become informed. 'You have the right to deference from the experts.' It's a type of flattery that results in angry, ill-informed, resentful voters.

"The movement around him represents a significant post-Covid social phenomenon: a coalition of the distrustful that cuts across divisions of right and left." I'd argue that Tucker Carlson was the leader of that coalition... until April.

The DeSantis message is kind of amazing: "You might have thought Trump is a bigot, but occasionally he seems to say non-bigoted things. I'll be all bigotry all the time!"

To wrap up “Pride Month,” let’s hear from the politician who did more than any other Republican to celebrate it…



It's as though John Roberts WANTS his #SupremeCourt to be seen as the most corrupt in history.

So it seems this “case” was trumped up in more ways than one: It was a phony controversy — cooked up just to pitch a curveball that only a Trump-stacked Court would’ve swung at. And swing it did! I’d say it hit a foul. theguardian.com/law/2023/jun/2…

Next Trump will start claiming that what he was waving around at Bedminster was Hunter Biden's laptop.

“‘Did I use the word plans?’ he said. ‘What I’m referring to is magazines, newspapers, plans of buildings. I had plans of buildings. You know, building plans? I had plans of a golf course.’”

America is rapidly becoming two nations because Red states are able to mooch off Blue states, using stolen tax money to reinvent the old Confederacy, “own the libs,” and wage “war on woke.” How do we end Red State welfare? hartmannreport.com/p/why-are-we-l…
