I want to talk about a dystopian world we are entering - where every moment, event, and crisis just become commodities.

Life stops being something we live, but something we sell and trade. It will breed both corruption & emptiness.

1/ A 🧵on why our politics can't ignore this.

On the one hand, Kristi Noem says Members of Congress who by law are permitted to conduct oversight, can't get into Whipple.

On the other hand, Kristi Noem's dumbass crackers are bringing people who've been trained as legal observers into Whipple to observe.

I've lost count of # of people who continue to wail that Dems didn't "refuse to pass [GOP] budget."

It's a testament to parliamentary illiteracy of many people whining about MoCs.

Budget: Future fight
Reconciliation: What your MoCs are fighting now
Continuing Resolution: What they let get a vote
