Inside us there are two Ringos trying to write a song. One about an octopus. The other about a garden. Make them kiss.

If Trump’s going to frame it this way, someone should ask why he let the EV credits expire and if he’s okay letting China running laps around us in EV and renewable energy.
Trump: "Iran will not have a nuclear weapon. Now, for that, people will have to pay some extra gas. I think most people, if they had a vote on lower gas prices or letting Iran have a nuclear weapon, it would be a massive landslide. People don't want Iran to have a nuclear weapon."

So far, the folks hinting at running against Mamdani -- who currently has 69% favorable rating among NYC voters -- in the 2029 election are the barstool sports guy and Michael Rapaport.

These are all extremely common sense steps, and opposition to them can be used as a useful filter for bad actors in the space.

Maybe, just maybe, if Democrats were more vocal about Israel two years ago we’d have one of them in the White House

Let him tear down the Kennedy center, idgaf. Just rename it the Marilyn Monroe performing arts center when he’s gone.
and there it is -- Trump says that if the Supreme Court doesn't allow him to put his name on the Kennedy Center then it will close down for good

take 5000 from everyone's bank account and then write them a check of 5000?
Treasury's Bessent on Trump's $5K check promise--which would likely cost over $1 trillion if made real--says "I believe there are ways to do it that are, would not affect the deficit." Anyone want to explain how that might work?

I know someone who dated a person whose mother was a Mar-A-Lago member. Apparently Trump loves to DJ and his taste in music is played out stadium anthems. YMCA and the ilk. But the funniest thing was that when Trump is tired and wants the party to end he plays the theme to Phantom of the Opera
Very possibly the most incoherent playlist in music history. Utterly berserk.

HOLY SHIT - Tapper plays Johnson footage of GOP candidate Brandon Herrera describing moms as "cum trophies," mentions he called Nazi machine guns "the original ghetto blasters," & asks Johnson how he can support him. Mike says "he has run a very effective campaign ... that was his persona online"

It’s very important to know you can just tell them their questions are dumb. It’s what Trump does! He’s been very successful at it! The media decided to stop asking actual important things to him because of it!

I find it hard to believe the party that wants more mining/drilling/waste dumping and thinks freedom is rolling coal in a strip mall parking lot are concerned with anything being dirty.
Unless… they aren’t actually referring to cleanliness?

I don't do much 9/11 posting, but I always think about Bretagne, the last surviving ground zero search and rescue dog.
When they took her to be euthanized in 2016, first responders saluted as she entered the clinic. She was later carried out in a flag-draped casket.

The fact that Dems have let the biggest Republican donor’s Sieg Heils quietly slip out of the collective consciousness is messaging malpractice.
Don’t act like his money is going to come back around to the Democratic Party . They should light his ass on fire every time he tweets something Hitler-y

Musk is already underwater in polls and if Democrats lean in they can make him even more toxic.
He's declared open war on you all and is pushing a toxic, destructive, racist agenda. Maybe it's time to push back?
I don't know, I'm just spitballing here.
