I *have* to go outside to go to the grocery store, and my warmest pants are flannel Lands End pajama pants with penguins on them, this is not an aesthetic decision, it's not a choice I'm making lightly, it's pure practicality, thank you
Perhaps instead of taking away enhanced COVID SNAP, they should simply make that the regular SNAP amount… There is literally no reason to take it away besides austerity
Chinese balloons are spying on Americans. Oops, that's the US government tapping into your phone.
Chinese tech companies are spying on Americans. Oops, that's US tech companies selling your data to the government.
The New McCarthyism is a blend of absurdity and projection.
We need to frame progressive policies as pro growth and pro economic development the way FDR did or Bismarck did in Germany. It’s how we will build a majority governing coalition for these common sense policies
I will continue to speak for the families who are seeking justice around the world— whether they are displaced in refugee camps or hiding under their bed somewhere like I was.

I’m guessing those folks don’t have kids. Everyone knows your parents suddenly become super nice people when they have grandkids.
All true. one thing I would add that is super important but rarely gets talked about is the degree to which police depts running security for mayors leads to blackmail and harassment. NYPD spied on de Blasio and doxed his daughter and leaked personal info to the Post all the time https://twitter.com/jbouie/status/1620391896974790657…
