Stop playing in our faces. Y’all didn’t vote for Donald Trump because prices are too high. Y’all voted for him because your morals are too low.

Think of what this says to our children:
— Be the best, do everything right, serve others, and you’ll be ripped apart and denied the dream job you deserve
— Be a scoundrel, lie, cheat, and steal, be a serial sexual predator, and you can be President, or a Supreme Court Justice

Joe Biden and the Democratic majority Senate have FULL LEGAL POWER to make appointments, including judicial appointments, in the next 2 months.
And they should use it — immediately.

A new study from the London School of Economics says 50 years of tax cuts in the U.S. — which promised to “trickle down” and eventually boost jobs and income for everyone — have only helped one group: the rich.

I finally figured out what this election reminds me of. Brexit. Passed in a wave of ignorant jingoism. Almost immediately regretted when people found out what it actually meant.

Our prosecutors completely failed us.
They had 4 years to enforce the laws against Trump, and they delayed, and they hesitated, and they were too cautious, and they finally went after him -- but it was too little, too late.
History will judge them, if there is any history left.

BREAKING: Andy Kim, famous for staying at the Capitol after the insurrection to clean up, will be going to the Senate. We should celebrate this win.

It’s going to be wild to watch the Trump administration claim the election gives them a “mandate” to implement Project 2025, when they spent the entire election telling people they were actually against it.
And the media will largely shrug.

It's still kind of ridiculous to me that so many newspaper staffs are bifurcated into "the writers who aren't allowed to express opinions" and "the writers who aren't required to engage with facts."

How do you know a recession is coming?
Simple.
Americans just elected a Republican president.
Look at history:
Since WWII, almost every single recession has happened after Americans elected a Republican president.
Don’t believe me? Do your own research.
Y’all love that.

Pretty wild that we just went through an election where a top foreign adversary aggressively tried to stop Democrats from voting — including calling in bomb threats to swing state polling locations — and there’s zero media interest in learning what Trump plans to do about that.
