The only thing out of Dems’ mouths for the next six weeks should be: Donald Trump single-handedly drove up gas prices by starting a senseless war, and it will only get worse if you re-elect Republicans

Introverts can go days without talking to people and it’s never anything personal. They can wake up, do their own thing all day, not exchange a single word with another human being, and be completely fine. Sometimes they’re just happy in their own little world

Fine. I'll die on this hill.. planes should be boarded back to front. But the system stays broken due to something very simple - people who paid a lot of money don't want to board last. Everything else is just an excuse. Period. End of story.

It's funny how we are totally NOT in a recession. But car companies are starting to offer "employee price discounts" to potential buyers...which tends to happen when...(wait for it)...we are in a recession.

Red states don’t hold referendums before they redraw maps to their advantage. They just do it. If the courts are going to keep moving the goalposts, maybe it’s time blue states stop asking permission.

It should be illegal for an airline to change a direct flight to a stop-over after the fact. Not a stern talking to. Not a fine. Illegal! As in - they can't do it.

I feel like the only person who remembers DeSantis tossing out the proposed legislative map during the **previous** redistricting because he wasn't happy with it. So they went with his map. That happened, right? So now he's unhappy with his own map?

I think sometimes the reason why Trump contradicts himself so much each day is because he forgot what he said yesterday. The other times it’s because he lies so much he can’t keep the lies straight.

The NFL only has themselves to blame for these "catch or no catch" controversies. Just make it simple - possession & 2 feet = catch. "But what if the defender immediately knocks the ball out?!" Then that's a fumble. "So there will be 50 fumbles a game!!" Then teach WRs to protect the ball.

It's to the point with today's NFL that I no longer know what a catch is, what OPI is, what a fumble is, what DPI is, and what a myriad of other things are. The games are nothing but frustrating to watch now.

Just saw a YouTube ad from Trump regarding him "taking on big health care". The problem isn't that it was full of bs (it was). The problem is that Dems aren't doing the same thing to counter this admin. And it shows we desperately need new leadership.

Football is a simple game - The team with more pts wins. It doesn't matter if they all come via fgs. But HCs, behind the "analytics says to go for it" trope, keep passing up on easy points (and getting 0pts instead). It's baffling to see teams lose because they refuse to kick early-game fgs.

When a politician says: we’ll deregulate health insurance and send you a “freedom account” check, ask: freedom to buy what? If insurers don’t offer real policies or can cherry-pick only healthy people, that money is a coupon for a store that’s not open.

Is anyone else noticing that restaurant patronage has been dwindling over the past few months? We went to a sports bar yesterday - college football Saturday! - and the place was more than half empty. But we shouldn't worry about that, right? The economy is great. Right?!

It's critical for everyone to remember what an Executive Order is. It is the President communicating orders to members of the executive branch. Policies to pursue, actions to take, etc. They are not laws. They are not close to being laws. They are formalized memos to employees. That's all.

POLITICO: “The Democratic base wants a fight. Chuck Schumer won’t give it to them.” Surrendering to Republicans isn’t leadership—it’s weakness. While the GOP bulldozes its agenda through, @SenSchumer played it safe. Democrats want and deserve a fighter, not a bystander.

These are the same Senate Democrats who lectured the base for years about the importance of preserving the filibuster so it would still be available when Democrats were in the minority

Democrats should hold 435 town halls this weekend. The ones in Republican districts hosted by local Dems or nonpartisan local officials or even ex-Republicans, with everyone, Democrats and independents and Republicans, invited.

Politico@politico.com

The chair of the House GOP's campaign arm told Republican lawmakers to stop holding in-person town halls amid a wave of angry backlash over the cuts undertaken by President Donald Trump's administration.

Donald Trump: Comply with my demands or I will hurt my own people! Canada: Ok, we will keep doing a thing we’ve been doing. Mexico: Ok, we will do a thing we did under the last guy. Trump: I WIN!!!! Fucking idiot.
