But will Netflix give Zaslav his year’s severance & kick him to the curb?
Because if so this gross violation of anti-trust might be worth it.

It is so funny when I see someone called “thatamerican” who is super obviously a paid-to-troll-american-politics account.

Congress is full of lawyers & CEOs, but it also has 98 veterans. More than 18% of Congress served in the military (compared to 6.1% of the population).
The double-tap is an affront to their service in a way just the bombings weren’t. It’s a weird insider perspective, but it is common in Washington.

Can someone explain to me why they think an administration that’s been carrying out war crimes for a year straight with impunity would impeach someone when they have all houses of power

35 points and zero of them are “build houses” 🙃
I want to challenge you to expect more from our leaders than finger pointing & cable tv hits-- your rep should listen and then put ideas forward to make life better. Here's a start--a 35 point plan to build more houses in MA and to make them more affordable for working families. buff.ly/Hu3VRXF

the economy is understimulated because people aren't buying things
to counter this, we should stimulate the economy with stimulus checks
in order to bring stability, we should keep doing it consistently, perhaps every month, for every person, universally
it's quite basic really

Leavitt’s citizenship comments clash with SCOTUS
Karoline Leavitt: “You’re either a U.S. citizen or not — You can’t be a U.S. citizen & a citizen of another country.”
The Supreme Court: It ruled in 1967 that the government can’t strip U.S. citizenship unless a person voluntarily relinquishes it.

"The playbook here is familiar," @parkermolloy.com writes for HW. "Find a trans person in a position of minor institutional authority. Manufacture or amplify a confrontation. Blast it through the conservative media ecosystem until it becomes national news. Watch as institutions capitulate."

“What if rich kids take advantage of free school lunches?” is like asking “What if rich executives take advantage of public transportation?”
What if they do?

In new polling from @dataforprogress.org, we asked disabled voters whether they support M4A:
62% Support among voters who ID as disabled
63% Support among voters who do not ID as disabled

When buying a house is unattainable and jobs are disappearing, it's no surprise young people think they can’t succeed, especially young men.
It's not their fault. It’s Washington’s fault for allowing the middle class to be hollowed out just to make rich people richer.

Democrats care more about what people who will never vote for them think than what their base thinks.
Since people don’t vote on policy, that means it is impossible for a poll-obsessed Democratic Party to represent the left.
We must primary every politician building their personality out of polls
