@Atrios Soc. Sec. did not face an insolvency crisis in 1983, just handwringing from sophists convincing the powers that be that the baby boom bulge would cause huge problems. The so-called solution caused boomers to fund current retirees and their own retirements through the trust fund

@Atrios I've always thought after anthropogenic climate disruption basically ends civilization, so-called conservatives will blame James Hansen and Al Gore for making them mad.

@COChicanoJoe Unfortunately, we have that neoliberal-loving governor putting his thumb on the scale in favor of industry making it very difficult

@JamesFallows @digby56 Self awareness not their strong point

@davidsirota I mean by Republicans

@davidsirota Every justice appointed since 1970 has been more conservative than the justice being replaced. And many of those appointed by troubling have been reactionaries

"liberal leaning Supreme Court" is not a thing, and almost never has been

@SamSeder Not to mention Richard Nixon and what some call treason in 1968. upress.virginia.edu/title/4886/

Tell me again about how it was Trump that made Republicans become a garbage political party… nytimes.com/2023/03/18/us/…

I hope someone tells @kylekeefetv someday that website addresses don't have "back slashes" in them. This: "/" is just a slash. Lol

@digby56 This is what he's been doing ever since he retired and started doing this job. So glad someone else agrees with me!

I don't think I can ever watch another game with Tony Romo announcing. He's made an otherwise exciting game almost unwatchable. #fingernailsonablackboard

@digby56 Was the photographer's Twitter account suspended for showing that musk was there?

Of course. Musk and Kushner. Of course.

@nycsouthpaw I think you mean infamous

Notable to see a former AG weigh in on Ford’s famous pardon.

@DanThomasESPN For Ale, are you disappointed that Mallorca did not get relegated, since this will mean another year of hearing Dan Thomas call it Mee-yorka?

Any questions for Frank, Juls or Ale?

@TVAnswerMan Any DIRECTV customer who thinks it will be better after merging with Dish doesn’t know people who have worked for Dish. Just further and further downhill we go from the good old days.

@Avalanche @AltitudeTV When are you guys gonna promote Rachel to JibJab's old position? We deserve to have her on our screens more!

This crowd is unreal. Taking this energy on the road for sure. #GoAvsGo

@digby56 They've been calling us baby killers since the 1980s, until their followers have no qualms about shooting at us at any time

Now that the GOP is just routinely referring to Democrats as communists is it ok if we call them all fascists? I mean, it seems weird to just throw that out there broadly (I've always been specific w/ the "F" word) but it seems that these are the new rules.

@DanThomasESPN Is anyone interested in the A-League this year? I think it starts tonight in the early morning (something like 3:45 eastern time). And can we watch the A-League on ESPN+ again this year?

Any questions for Shaka, Frank, Ale or Don?

@SethRudetsky Maybe my favorite musical theater memory is volunteering to play drums for a retirement home "You're a Good Man." You haven't lived until you watch a bunch of 80-somethings pretend to be six!

@tomtomorrow @FAIRmediawatch Nice to see this Fairness & Accuracy In Reporting (FAIR) 10th-anniversary mug make an appearance in their celebration of 35 years!

ESPN insists on ruining my enjoyment of today's Euro final by replacing Robson with Twellman. I enjoy listening to Ian Darke, but I'm gonna have to mute, so I don't have to hear all the adjectives from Twellman. Nothing's ever just good, but it's brilliant or better.

@PressSec @POTUS And in June 2008, near the end of the GW Bush administration, the average gasoline price was $4.10/gal

You forgot to mention that gas prices are the same now as they were in June 2018. Or that this time last year unemployment was 11.1% -- today it’s 5.8%. @POTUS agrees families shouldn’t pay more at the pump – that’s why he’s opposed to GOP proposals to raise the gas tax.
