to @thelittleidiot Moby’s criticism of our song LOLA these are the words sent to me and Ray from our dear friend trans icon @jaynecounty27 #JayneCounty. I am highly insulted that MOBY would accuse my brother of being ‘unevolved’ or transphobic in any way. theguardian.com/music/2026/mar…

@SeanTrende Shut up Sean. No one wants to hear about your racial neurosis.

I think this is basically right, but even if Harris were a White male, I think people underestimate how messy an open process two weeks before the Convention would have been, and without a lot of time for splits within the party to heal. 1/

Trump was beatable in 2024, too. But after forcing Biden out, the plain imperative-- find the strongest candidate to beat Trump--was knocked off the table by imperatives born of racial neurosis.

@WonderKing82 Ruffalo has the political acumen of an actual turkey.

She's a former republican... why are they so eager to bring them into their progressive camp.

Until this man is pushed out, do not listen to anyone about age.

South Carolina Democrats deserve so much better than this man; 33 years in office and he hasn’t created a talent pipeline that extends beyond his own family.

Arkansas Gov. Sarah Huckabee Sanders welcomed Erika Kirk to the Governor’s Mansion on Wednesday, signing a proclamation encouraging students across the state to launch Turning Point USA chapters in their schools as part of a new statewide “Club America” partnership.

@emira_kasem @RoKhanna @ninaturner He can't answer real questions, he's trying to gaslight people. Chasing a bumper sticker.
English
@RoKhanna @ninaturner So for free universal healthcare, education and childcare, what will be the standard salary and pay cap for medical professional, educators and child care workers across the country regardless of whether they live in California or Texas?
English
So how will we pay for single payer healthcare? One of the things I admire about Bernie Sanders is he is honest that people need to pay taxes to fund foundational social services in healthcare, education, & childcare. The taxes should be progressive. But the math needs to work.
Katie Porter@katieporterca
0% state income tax for California families making under $100,000. That’s thousands of dollars back in your pocket where it belongs. As Governor, I’ll work the issue at both ends—lowering taxes for those who are struggling and raising them on the biggest corporations that can afford to pay.
English
@JDCocchiarella @RoKhanna @ZaidJilani Ro is massive tech-bro money. He supports Bernie because Bernie supporters fall for bumper-sticker slogans ("vision") that can't be implemented. Bernie is slopulism personified and his go-nowhere "movement" is evidence.
English
@RoKhanna @ZaidJilani Ro is right. Let’s build a country where paying taxes is patriotic and something we want to do because government services are so great. Ro and Bernie have that vision and it’s what Dems should follow not this slopulism.
English
@RoKhanna Stop trying to shove Bernie down our throats. This is one of the many reasons I can't stand Ro Khanna. Bernie never had a serious, achievable policy proposal in his life. You're both so full of shit.
English
@TopherSpiro Yes but she's a woman, so Matty and other men have to attack
English
The Booker, Van Hollen, Katie Porter proposals are not progressive enough and cost too much. But we do need immediate tax relief for the working class (like Obama campaigned on!)
English
If radical is wanting good public education.
If radical is wanting hungry children to be fed.
If radical is wanting a safe infrastructure so hundreds of children aren't killed at summer camp.
If radical is asking for accountability for Uvalde.
Then I'll own it.

@USA_Polling Its called advertising. And "cracking down on money" means giving self-funded candidates and candidates with built-in name recognition a huge advantage. Try thinking beyond a slogan- what you want would put more oligarchs and celebrities in office.
English
I'm so serious when I say like 50% of America's political problems could be solved by banning and cracking down on money in politics

See this is why the Boomers are the worst generation in America an history. Chaos and economic collapse engulfing our country and they are still just like well something something taxes, something something woke.

@MarcoFoster_ @grahamformaine "going after wealth where it is being hoarded" can we stop with the bullshit. Most Americans are not per se anti-wealth and anti-corporate.
English
Graham Platner: “Every single breath we take discussing culture war stuff is a breath we are not talking about universal healthcare. It’s a breath we are not talking about going after wealth where it’s been hoarded. Not talking about breaking up corporate monopoly power. That’s what we need to be focusing on. But we do not sell people out. A politics that is willing to sell anyone out will eventually sell everyone out”
English
@PEWilliams_ "Healthcare" is not our number one issue. It may be a top concern, but there isn't a single policy approach that unites all Dems. Ppl mean a variety of things when they say "healthcare" - drug prices, insurance costs, expanding medicare vs. M4A, etc. For example
English
I'm just confused by all of these proposals. Democrats' number one issue is healthcare. How do you do healthcare without a tax base?

@KaoticLeftist Lol what else has to happen for Paxton to "come off" as a "very morally depraved person"? He's already done it to himself. Do you think Paxton isn't a known quantity in Texas?
English
James Talarico is going to goad Cornyn or Paxton into coming off as a very morally depraved person.
English
@AzelfDaGirl I want a candidate who never had a Nazi tattoo. That is not too much to ask. You sound ridiculous.
English
Can I ask why the same people calling him a "Nazi" are ALSO mad about him condemning antisemitism?? Like, he covered his tattoo and is actively condemning antisemitism.
It's like y'all would RATHER him be a Nazi so you have a legit reason to support Mills
Graham Platner for Senate@grahamformaine
Antisemitism is on the rise, and it must be stopped. We must not and will not stand by while people are targeted and killed for who they are or how they pray.
English
@Miriam2626 You can stop shoving religion down our throats any time, you know. Some of us still believe being religious doesn't automatically make you a better person. Calling Talarico "pastor" doesn't make me feel united. Quite the opposite.
English
And the pastor who will be our next Senator will unite everyone again.
Matt Angle@LSPmatt
Smart column by @BudKennedy. And keep in mind that the pastors mentioned are full-blown MAGA who have set basic morality & traditional Christian principles aside to indulge in and to preach Trump idolatry.

@freyaunfiltered I can be angry that Crockett lost because of white male bullshit and vote Blue no matter what. Its not rocket science.
