    You can't claim that they are "mostly democrats" while also claiming that they "mostly support" your stupid wall. Even people with a Betsy DeVos IQ know this!

    Absolutely correct. Unfortunately the media is purely a business that follows shiny objects as long as the following pays dividends. I guess dead and abused children aren’t as shiny as motherfuckers.

    We do have a national emergency. We have a useful idiot spouting Russian Propaganda from the White House.

    I would like to know how many reporters followed Martha McSally around after she told her House Republican colleagues about their repeal of the ACA, “Let’s get this fucking thing done!” I think it was....zero.

    As Republicans clutch their pearls about Rashida Tlaib’s impeachment comment, their President dropped the F-bomb three times in a single meeting today.

    If you watch any videos of Trump giving interviews in the 80’s you can tell he is now in steep mental decline. He used to speak in coherent sentences. Now it’s just adjective noun gumbo. Why aren’t more people talking about this!

    There is no border crisis as documented by own Department of Homeland Security.

    Last night, the House passed two bills with bipartisan support to re-open the government. It’s now on McConnell to bring one of them to the floor. Let’s do the right thing for federal employees and government contractors and the American people. End this shutdown.

    Mitt Romney, 1/1/2019: "I will speak out against actions that are divisive, racist, sexist, anti-immigrant." Mitt Romney, 1/3/2019: "I would vote for the border wall." You can find his spine on Craigslist under "Republican's spine, balls and integrity." Mint condition.

    Let's be clear: All Trump wants is to build his dumb wall. This is not responding to a crisis. This is not about border security. This is about feeding his own ego & building a monument for himself. The impact on millions of Americans harmed by a shutdown? He could not care less.

    Sorry this discussion has been preempted by the rapid buckling of Romney knees.

    This is a good discussion of AOC's call for a top tax rate of 70-80%. Tl; dr: she's actually saying what top public finance economists have been saying for some time. Not at all outlandish. 1/

    Here's the top marginal rate versus the 10-year growth rate in per capita GDP (right axis) since WWII (using 10-year to smooth out business cycle). No relationship, or if anything positive 3/

    So even as Rs dunk on AOC as stupid or ignorant, she's talking sense based on reputable economic research, while the whole GOP is talking nonsense from charlatans and cranks. (But she dances!) 5/

    The powerful and the privileged have flourished at the expense of the rest of us. It’s time to take our country back.
