Trump is not a la carte. You don’t get to pick what you like about him - like judges & tax cuts - and pass on the hateful, violent rhetoric. If you support him & help maintain him in office, you’re supporting the whole package: the hate, the division and the stoking of violence.

Louis CK is a good reminder that when people with power ask for respect it’s called “civility” and is sacred, but when people without power ask for respect it’s called “political correctness” and is the butt of jokes.

John Fetterman just asked the Silicon Valley Bank CEO if there should be work requirements for CEOs who crash banks and dear reader, I almost fell out of my chair.

One of the best things about Elizabeth Warren is that men of all ages and positions in society assume they’re smarter than she is, and then we all get to enjoy what happens next.

The first thing all Dems need to do is get a firm mental grip on the new rules. McConnell annihilated every norm of the nomination process to deny Garland a hearing or vote and steal the Court for a generation. If you play by the old rules, you're playing a fool's game.

Absolutely no one likes Paul Ryan yet somehow no one has ever written a story about whether he’s likeable

Or maybe they’re just a human being who doesn’t deserve to be shot dead for no reason. The idea among white people that a black kid has to earn their humanity by being a poet laureate or something is part of the problem.

Joe Biden: "We've got to recognize that kid wearing a hoodie may very well be the next poet laureate and not a gangbanger." 😬

I have never understood how McConnell has managed to dodge this photo. Look at that smile.

President Trump inaccurately says an AIDS vaccine exists while predicting a coronovirus vaccine by the end of 2020, and falsely accuses the Obama administration of making no effort to stop abusive policing, an #APFactCheck finds. apne.ws/ZDg83Vo

If Democrats win both Senate seats in GA, it’s going to be hard to explain why they should promptly re-empower McConnell by seeking small-ball deals with him instead of getting rid of the filibuster and passing Biden’s big, bold agenda. Biden has a mandate. Time to use it.

Bernie complains about MSNBC for months, to no avail. Warren gets Chris Matthews taken off the air. Bernie complains about billionaires rigging the system - Warren ends Bloomberg. Now picture this, but with Trump and the policies most important to you. Choose your fighter.

You bought this, Mitch McConnell. You bought this, Paul Ryan. You accepted the hate, the incitement and the “globalist” dog whistles because they came with the tax cuts and the judges. You bought the whole package and you thought it was a good deal.
