In 2021, the @nytimes did a rare thing. Published analysis of economic outcomes under Dem vs Republican presidents, by David Leonhardt. This was the headline Republicans have never EARNED — via actual outcomes — the branding that they're better at managing budgets or the economy
The federal workforce is 9% smaller now than at the beginning of 2025. Federal spending has increased 6% over the same time period. https://t.co/Al2zcg6KNC

If you're still backing him now, it's for 1 of 2 reasons: 1. You're too weak to admit you were wrong; 2. The hate he feeds matches your appetite to watch others in pain. There is no middle ground.

One of the most underreported stories of 2025 is that Trump is the first President ever to create electricity shortages on purpose. He is illegally canceling solar and wind, causing layoffs and price spikes, and the media is like “wow what a showman that guy is!”

During the dark days of mandatory, “Happy Holidays,” under the Biden regime, myself and other Xmas patriots would whisper, “Merry Christmas,” to each other in passing, always terrified that we’d be overheard and exposed. *this is how stupid you MAGA morons sound.

If you’re celebrating the mass deportations of distraught, exhausted human beings seeking refuge, you probably shouldn’t be singing sweet songs about a baby with “no crib for a bed.” https://t.co/SGkTsdGAJW

The media helped signal boost GOP attacks against Biden FOR WEEKS over claims he was leaving allies behind in Afghanistan, but drop this blink and you miss it story on Christmas and you'll never hear about it again. 🤡

The Epstein Files Are Central to America’s Authoritarian Drift Many people treat the Epstein files as a standalone scandal. They are not. The way those files have been controlled, fragmented, and insulated from real accountability reflects the same logic driving America’s

CBS filed a copyright claim against my YouTube channel for posting Canada's version of the CECOT story that Bari Weiss killed—SO—I downloaded & read the transcript verbatim on camera. Here it is. Watch & RT to fight fascism & censorship.

The whole "deplorables" imbroglio lasted for weeks b/c the press hated Hillary & kept it in the news cycle. This little Christmas missive from Trump won't even be a story b/c he's conditioned the press to accept this as part of his whole shtick. I DON'T MAKE THE RULES, FOLKS!

“Raped” “Murdered” “Disposed of body” Next to the President’s name The WH has now taken over the social media account of the DOJ to protect him. Asking MAGA and Republicans when is it enough? Why are you silent?
Axios has learned the White House has begun managing the DOJ's account on X to respond to posts highlighting mentions of Trump in the Epstein files. In typical administrations, there is a wall between the White House and what is supposed to be an independent Justice Department.

THIS IS THE HIDDEN EPSTEIN FILE EVERYONE NEEDS TO SEE: The image below is what the government redacted. The quoted text below is what I unredacted, which shows that the Government broke the law and is CURRENTLY covering up the fact that: 1) Epstein and Maxwell paid witnesses

As a political scientist, I find it deeply fascinating how coordinated, disciplined, and well-funded the right-wing disinformation machine is. Consistent messaging across all platforms, from social media to radio and television. Hundreds of X accounts posting finely honed lies
The syndicated right-wing disinformation troll machine’s latest lie is that Georgia “admitted” to counting 315,000 votes “illegally.” REALITY? Fulton County did not “admit” to counting illegal votes. It acknowledged that more than 130 tabulator tapes from early in-person voting

I posted this over 9 years ago, a month before Trump won. Today I hear news anchors saying there's no evidence that Trump sexually assaulted minors. This is sworn testimony of an eyewitness and, I hate break it to the 5th estate, that's called evidence.
Sworn declaration filed in #Trump child rape case. Are you proud of yourself @SpeakerRyan #GOP? CC: @PaulBegala @Lawrence @maddow
