I will never forget, for the rest of my life, how @jaketapper went after Joe Biden obsessively over his cognitive decline, and even profited off of it with a book, but constantly gives Trump a complete pass on his even worse cognitive decline. Fuck Jake Tapper forever.

Dozens of countries across the globe guarantee their citizens universal health care. In America, we’re stuck paying some of the highest amounts for care that still leaves millions behind. It’s time for us to change that and get to universal coverage.

ABSOLUTELY INSANE. THE HOUSE DEMOCRATIC ****WHIP**** WAS THROWING THE FUNDRAISING BASH THAT KEPT DEMOCRATS FROM VOTING TO SEND THE HEGSETH IMPEACHMENT VOTE TO THE FLOOR.
Katherine Clark is the Democratic Whip in the House, and it is thus her responsibility to ensure members are there to vote. Clark is also a founding member of EDW, which hosted an event tonight from 4:30pm to 6:30pm, overlapping with the 5:30pm vote on the Hegseth impeachment. Of the 11 members who missed the Hegseth vote, 8 have received support from EDW or its AIPAC-tied super PAC EDW Action. Of those 8, two are sitting board members.

Let me say this for the folks on The Hill: No fucking way.
BREAKING: Financial analysts call for a bailout as the AI bubble begins to pop. Just last year, healthcare and food assistance were cut to give tech corporations and billionaires tax breaks. More programs and services are likely to be cut if a bailout drains further revenue.

According to the Matt Yglesiases of the world, it isn’t important that Abdul El-Sayed is already doing media hits like this and showing his peers how to communicate (and fight), and channeling the party’s base and energy, it only matters what his WAR score is. 🤷🏽‍♂️👇🏽
EL-SAYED: Can you imagine being Hegseth right now? Why are you still in your job? *Looks into camera* You are really bad at this. Just resign. Take it from me, you're not good at this.

Every single person who was intensely upset after the 2016 election is completely vindicated. We said he’d start a war, we said he’d act like a tyrant, we said he’d engage in corruption never seen before in US history, we said he was compromised by foreign powers. We were right.
Hillary Clinton supporters begin to cry as it becomes clear a Trump victory is now very likely.

In May, Tony Hinchcliffe stood on a Netflix stage and said George Floyd is “looking up at us all, laughing so hard that he can’t breathe.” Floyd’s family called it what it was. Plenty of people shrugged and said it’s just a roast. This month at Madison Square Garden, Dave Chappelle told the same joke. Same words. New name. Now the same crowd wants him cancelled. If that joke didn’t bother you when it was about a Black man murdered by police, you don’t get to find your outrage now. Chappelle didn’t write a new joke. He held up a mirror. Dave Chappelle is a genius. 🎥:@netflix @DaveChappelle

BREAKING: In an incredible moment, Rep. Jared Moskowitz just perfectly explained how Democrats plan to go after Donald Trump’s insane corruption and focus on affordability. We can walk and chew gum at the same time. Let’s go.

Mexico will transition to a universal healthcare system starting Jan 2027, which will leave USA as the only country in North America to not have it. Let’s be clear, fascist republicans and corrupt politicians are responsible for the so-called “greatest country on earth” to be left behind like this.

WOW! This is something you NEED to see! Earlier today in Ireland, while Hunter Biden was receiving an award, a student began shouting about Gaza. But instead of letting security remove the student, HUNTER STEPPED IN, stopped them, and delivered an absolutely WONDERFUL response. No hostility. No running from a difficult question. Just compassion, dignity, and respect. THAT is Joe Biden's son, through and through. Like father, like son. JUST LISTEN! 👇🇺🇸🇮🇪

A reminder that the Electoral College plays no part in midterm elections. That was 100% the American people making their voices heard. That’s exactly why the Electoral College needs to go.

Replying to @mattyglesias
Hi Matt. I’m more than a little confused by this critique. Even folks who just had a passing knowledge of @AbdulElSayed’s campaign know that his slogan was about 3 things: Money out of politics, money in your pocket & Medicare for all. Whether you (or other Democrat Senators or anyone, really) disagree with that is irrelevant to the facts that those were the things he explicitly campaigned on. Do you truly believe that given the above facts, he should simply pretend that is not what he campaigned on? Or, alternatively, that he should acknowledge that despite campaigning on those ideals, he’s abandoning them days after the election because he won by 7 and other Democratic candidates won by 9? Lastly, I understand you always seem to be focused on maximizing electability and far less focused on maximizing enacting actual reforms, but given your (and others) focus on electability concerns, isn’t right now—literally the furthest out from the next election we possibly could be—the best possible time to raise these issues?
