RT @MikeNellis: Your company was fined $1.7 billion for defrauding Medicare, so maybe shut the fuck up about our money.

Trump wants to outsource government reorganization to a money-hungry crackpot. washingtonpost.com/politics/2024/… Just what we need, right?

Trump/Vance have, unsurprisingly, revived the style of 1988 Willie Horton ads against Kamala Harris. Lee Atwater, who approved (but didn't produce) the ad, repented and apologized to Dukakis for it on his death bed. Will Trump ever feel such remorse? Extremely doubtful.

washingtonpost.com/politics/2024/… "Anti-democratic" -- Unlike the violent siege of the US Capitol by a rampaging mob intent on sabotaging the results of a presidential election, apparently.

Republicans blaming Democrats' condemnation of the MAGA program should kindly remember: Only one leading U.S. political figure has publicly, repeatedly, compulsively encouraged, condoned, and trivialized violence. That person is not a Democrat.

The Hill is out with my column on the Supreme Court's decision in the J6 obstruction case (Fischer). Many cases will now be downgraded to just trespass or unlawful entry. The "shock and awe" prosecutions may seem insurrection-lite... thehill.com/opinion/crimin…

The crime rate among undocumented immigrants is lower than the crime rate among the 2020 Trump campaign's legal staff.

The technical legal term for this is chutzpah. /2 washingtonpost.com/politics/2022/…

In the face of unprincipled rulings, judicial power-grabs, evisceration of rights, and squalid ethics, trying to wrap the Court in the reputation of the Brown decision? /1

@EconomicPolicy The welfare of the average person, and their sharing in the fruits of the economy, is the true heartbeat of American democracy. Here's the decline of our democracy, in a nutshell.

Forget quiet quitting—we need to talk about quiet fleecing. Workers are more productive than ever, but their pay hasn’t kept pace while top 1% wages have skyrocketed.

@EconomicPolicy @RepKatiePorter Unsurprisingly absent from MAGA/GOP bloviation re inflation . . . .

The latest prop from @RepKatiePorter—known for bringing whiteboards to Congress & grilling CEOs to shine a💡on corporate greed—is a gigantic EPI chart showing corporate profits are fueling inflation.

GOP Yes -132; GOP Nay - 43. Not to say Clinton/Rubin/DLC weren't behind it; but Congressional party, and grassroots, was a rather different story. /2

Hello, MSNBC/Chris Hayes Corrections Dept: Statement 8/25 that Democrats were part of the 1990s consensus behind NAFTA not quite accurate. House vote in '93: Dems Yea - 102; Dems Nay - 156. /1

Watch . . . and demand action!

I guess everything really is upside down in Australia: a conservative lost an election — and conceded

15,600 additional deaths JUST among 55-to-64-year-old adults JUST between 2014 and 2018. As Barney Frank famously said, many conservatives appear to believe in protecting human life from the moment of conception to the moment of birth.

“Right to life"? Really? All 12 states that failed to expand Medicare per ACA/Obamacare are among those certain or likely to ban or curtail abortion if Roe is overturned. A Nat’l Bureau of Economic Research report (Working Paper 26081) found that their failure resulted in . . .
