insane stuff. among other wild claims, the author argues that the White House is pursuing an “all-of-the-above” energy strategy that will cut electricity prices. no mention of the assault on renewable energy and mandates for expensive coal plants to keep operating thehill.com/opinion/ener...

American fascism is hilarious; it’s politics as aesthetics, but the aesthetics are ass.
Sean Duffy on slashing fuel economy standards: "This rule will actually allow you to bring back the 1970s station wagon. Maybe a little wood paneling on the side. We can bring back choice to consumers."

Trump’s use of the pardon power is grounds for impeachment alone. just shameless pardoning of criminals of all stripes
NEW: Trump commuted the sentence of billion dollar Ponzi schemer David Gentile days into his sentence.
Gentile's business history is long intermingled with former oligarch Michael Cherney, wanted by Interpol for alleged ties to Russian organized crime.

conservatives love to punish the tiny percent of people that they view as morally deficient, at the expense of literally everyone else
Markwayne Mullin: "Reward people for being healthy. Think about this. Healthcare is the only industry that you're not rewarded for taking care of your responsibility. If you think about homeowners insurance, if you're within 500 feet of a fire hydrant, your insurance goes down."

so we’ll stop giving money to insurance companies and instead give people money to buy insurance…from the insurance companies. masterful gambit, sir
Trump: "THE ONLY HEALTHCARE I'LL SUPPORT OR APPROVE IS SENDING MONEY DIRECTLY BACK TO THE PEOPLE W/ NOTHING GOING TO THE BIG, FAT, RICH INSURANCE COMPANIES, WHO HAVE RIPPED OFF AMERICA LONG ENOUGH. THE PEOPLE WILL BE ALLOWED TO NEGOTIATE & BUY THEIR OWN, MUCH BETTER, INSURANCE. POWER TO THE PEOPLE!"

Ghislaine Maxwell lied about Trump never going to Epstein's house (directly contradicted by her email correspondence with Epstein), and she was rewarded for that lie with a transfer to a cushier prison. The coverup is happening in plain sight.

how exactly does this hoax work? did Dems somehow plant fake emails within the Epstein estate? I’m sure Dems were somehow behind Maxwell being moved to a posh prison earlier this year too

the deal doesn’t even entail “working together” to solve any real problems! Senate Dems get a weak promise for only a *Senate* vote on the ACA subsidies and that’s about it. no problems have been solved, and more might even be created by an emboldened administration

he’s said this so many times over the years and it’s just as insane as the first time. you do not need an ID at the grocery store lol
Trump: "It's time for Republicans to do what they have to do and that's terminate the filibuster ... we should start tonight with 'the country's open, congratulations,' then we should pass voted ID, we should pass no mail in voting ... you go to a grocery store, you have to give ID."
