I think I do. Can I give it a shot? It has to do with the purpose of government. For some people (like us) purpose of government is to help people. We think fairness is possible, and that the government's job is to try to create fairness. Others have a different worldview. 1/ twitter.com/JoyceWhiteVanc…

Between infrastructure, gun safety, CHIPs, and the PACT Act, all passed in less than a year, I can't recall a period of so many big and substantive bipartisan accomplishments for Congress. With a 50/50 Senate.

This is astonishing, yet not surprising. If it feels like you're far less safe in NYC than ever before, it's not bc shootings are up. It's because the media (fueled by lies & fearmongering by NYC Mayor Eric Adams) is up. Look at this chart. Red line is shootings. Grey is media.

My god the republicans are just chock full of assholes. Mitch McConnell gets a dose of his own medicine so he punishes sick veterans and sides with China. Doesn’t get assholier than that.

A white man with a gun showed up to Rep. Jayapal’s house and told her to go “back to India” and that he’d kill her. Somehow, Brett Kavanaugh not being able to eat a chocolate cookie at a restaurant got more coverage.

It's pretty fucking funny that after so many trump promises to get Mexico to pay for the wall, President Biden got Mexico to pay $1.5 billion for smart tech to enhance border security. Well played, Mr. President.👏👏

It’s not SSRIs. Iceland: biggest user of antidepressants; low rates of gun violence. It’s not video games. Japan: among the largest markets for video games; low rates of gun violence. It’s not weed. Israel: biggest user of cannabis; low rates of gun violence. It’s the guns.

Please: Keep an eye on new moms. What I had is one of the top reasons US women die of pregnancy complications. The US maternal mortality rate is 2x most other developed countries. I knew to watch for depression. I wasn’t ready for this.

June 2, 2014 Oil: $104.88 a barrel Gas: $3.69 a gallon Exxon's quarterly profit: $8.8 billion July 3, 2022 Oil: $108.43 a barrel Gas Price: $4.81 a gallon Exxon's quarterly profit: $16 billion+ Ouch. Gas prices soared because of Big Oil's greed. We need a windfall profits tax.

Ouch. Inflation is far too important a problem for the White House to keep making statements like this. It’s either straight ahead misdirection or a deep misunderstanding of basic market dynamics. twitter.com/POTUS/status/1…
