Whenever a politician says, "Common sense," they are virtually always actually saying, "This is a complicated issue or process, but I don't want you to think too much about it and instead choose this reactionary response to it."

Love that right wingers spent up until now frothing at the affront of Barack Obama denigrating a true heartland fine dining establishment and then Trump comes out like, "The White House is NOT A PIECE OF SHIT CHEESECAKE FACTORY, OK, I'M NOT CRYING."

he almost entirely rejects the premise of politics: that through communication and rhetoric we can move publics to act collectively in particular ways.

Update: and now I’ve received an email asking my for $3. In what world do you follow up a day after a $500 donations with 3 separate asks for a total of $9?

So I did donate $500 yesterday and then got two texts from their campaign today, one asking for $5 and another asking for literally $1. I beg democrats to figure out how to do this better.

So insane that weirdos throughout the country believed in the Q conspiracy and that Donald Trump, who had already admitted to things like enjoying walking in on his teenage beauty contestants changing, was going to eradicate pedophiles. Now Trump, every day, just screams "I LOVE PEDOPHILES SO MUCH!"

Of course Trump has wholeheartedly endorsed this ad because at it's heart, he found a kindred spirit - a narcissistic child rapist. His favorite people on earth!

The president sides with child rapists and their enablers. That's the message I'm receiving.

Republicans support child abuse.

Few things have incensed me as much as Ramaswamy's behavior toward a victim of childhood abuse. I don't live in Ohio but am about to donate $500 to Acton's campaign. Ramaswamy is unfit for society entirely, let alone the power of a governorship.

Gosh it seems like the entire Republican party is built around enriching and empowering sex pests, huh.

I long ago disavowed the Dallas Cowbrotherhood.

I attended classes at the prestigious Stern Business School at NYU. And my main takeaway - business schools create sociopaths. NYT dedicates 3 physical pages this Sunday to abolishing business schools.

He's gonna be so conflicted when he learns about the prison labor we use to fight fires in over a dozen states. Just kidding, this man is incapable of learning anything.

Ah more conservative DEI.

I've not been in enviro spaces but in other policy areas and as a hill staffer: there are so many NGO leaders, staff, donors, and Hill staff that do not know Congress works that it's truly mind blowing. Dislike the idiom about incompetence v. malice, but assume it applies here based on experience.

"Your [leader] is an incompetent thief... [who] wants to get out of town with as much as he can steal," is one of the most on-the-nose projections from Donny in a sea of them.

Truly obsessed with @americanscoundrel.bsky.social at the moment and hope that Democratic committee staffers are reading Goldmark and @kaibirdbiographer.bsky.social 's book as a blueprint to getting to the bottom of this administration's incredible corruption and tactics.

I follow my alma mater on LinkedIn and their content is so depressing. It's all aimed at current students (which seems like a terrible place to reach them) and it's all stuff like, "Here's how to talk to new people your freshman year!" or "The best parts of college aren't on your phone!"

Again - his cabinet constantly talks about the feats of intelligence they witness this man commit behind closed doors and yet every time he opens his mouth, he finds creative new ways to display how fucking stupid he is. Also, dude on the left is literally a blobfish made human

Good old conservative DEI.

Republicans, nearly two years after Biden left office: "The buck stops with Joe Biden!"

His name is Jack Smith-I've got him testifyin Got my pre-written diss-gonna catch him totally lyin He thought he'd get off-Pretty sure he saw the Hawks But I don't know about the WNBA. I wish I could take back everything I've said Cuz I'm just a Senate Dirtbag, baby

I cared nothing about Ed Sheeran yesterday and couldn't name you a single song. Still don't know any song titles, I just know he's complicit.
