Q: Politico reported on a group chat of young Republicans. Does this just reflect some bad apples?

HOCHUL: Some bad apples? These are the future of the GOP. This is so vile it's hard to find the words to put into context ... there's gotta be consequences ... this bullshit has to stop.

The selfishness, cruelty and racism are what the GOP is about. Not free trade, strong defense, promoting democracy or ethics and morals.

Every day that passes I am more convinced of two things:

1) This regime’s attempt to consolidate and hold power is going to collapse in truly spectacular fashion

2) That collapse is going to be astoundingly dangerous and destructive

a key thing about vought — and all of these guys — is that they have a totally top down and hierarchical vision of the world. they believe that the cultural changes they hate can be turned off by destroying the federal government because they can’t imagine that they emerged bottom-up in society

What he’s railing against is a profound shift in culture, status… He’s obsessed with the idea that America is controlled by a leftist “ruling elite” - but “elite” isn’t defined socio-economically or by political power, it means something like: Getting to define “real America” and who gets to belong.

In Trump's America, you're a hell of a lot more likely to be kidnapped off the street and beaten by masked goons cosplaying as ICE agents than you are to be assaulted by an immigrant.

At this point maybe we should just let the ACA subsidies expire so people realize what a disaster we elected.

I hope we will be able to rely on our local police to protect us from our lethal military with no pesky rules of engagement.

I can’t believe I’m watching interviews of city mayors talking about how they are coordinating with other mayors to discuss how to protect their residents FROM THE PRESIDENT OF THE UNITED STATES

I know we are “used to it” but it is absolutely insane

Pritzker: "In any other country, if federal agents fired upon journalists & protesters when unprovoked what would we call it? If officials marched down streets harassing civilians & demanding their papers, what would we say? I don't think we'd have trouble calling it what it is: authoritarianism"

Trump really can’t fire her even if she doesn’t go along with his phony prosecution.

Because she knows what’s in the Epstein Files. She has more job security than any of them.

America is bailing out Argentina, while Argentine farmers sell soybeans to China instead of American farmers, thereby bankrupting them, which is why America also have to bail out American farmers.

If this is considered winning, I fear what losing looks like.

There is no metric or data you can point to which shows that Ryan Walters has not systematically wrecked the OK school system before quitting.

Fox surely knows this. And yet they platform him constantly for culture war BS.

Which shows how little they care about kids education.

I know what it means to be shot in the head, to have doctors say survival is unlikely, and to fight for every step of recovery. Hearing that 12-year-old Sophia is healing is a miracle. I’m praying for her recovery and for the strength of her family 💜

Doctors warned that Sophia Forchas was "on the brink of death," but now she is due to be moved from an acute care ward to an inpatient therapy program.
