Not to mention his massive income redistribution -- often thought of as a communist idea -- that began decades of shifting income and tax benefits from working class and lower income Americans to the super rich. He blithely inflicted huge damage to the U.S. - with a smile.
And let's hope
@JoyAnnReid
sets an example for her media colleagues by explaining terms like the "civil service" in plain English, so that voters not part of the social media or MSM echo chamber will understand what's really being proposed & the implications.

It's true. He may not be 29 anymore, and he's never been the world's greatest communicator, but
#Biden
has been one of the most productive Presidents in a generation. A record of accomplishment which has been equally directed to Red & Blue voters, deserves ๐๐๐.
Roberts Must Go: Webster defines "leadership" as "the capacity to lead." Chief Justice Roberts presides over a SCOTUS rife w/ corruption, radical activism & clueless/intentional disregard of disclosure laws. Sure Thomas & Alito must go. But Roberts has failed most of all.
Letโs be clear: Chief Justice Roberts has the authority to implement an enforceable code of conduct.
Heโs refused.
Until he acts, I will keep pushing for legislation.
Voters who will vote MAGA solely due to higher cost of living are profoundly misinformed. Inflation causes are complex, but Trumpโs disastrous Covid response, which strangled global supply chain & increased prices, plus adding $8 Trillion to the National Debt, set the stage.
If Clarence Thomas isn't the Epitome of Corruption -- even on a SCOTUS pervaded by corruption, conflicts of interest & far right extremism -- hard to think of who would be.

Great vid about the ACA. You explain these concepts very well.
#Kamala
& her campaign, for all their excellence and good intentions, often simply toss around terms like "preexisting conditions" without explaining in real terms what they mean. Maybe they can learn from you!

Would great appreciate any boosts. I've been in Twitter Jail for more than a week, which has left me unable to follow more than one user a day (!).
The Supreme Court's immunity decision is WORSE than Dred Scott, Korematsu & Plessy v. Ferguson combined, because it gives a criminal president the ability to perpetrate with immunity all the atrocities represented by those cases. The Supreme Court ABUSED ITS JUDICIAL DISCRETION!
Move Over Nostradamus: 153 years and $4.3 Million
ago, Cartoonist Thomas Nast drew a startlingly accurate depiction of SCOTUS Justice Clarence Thomas. Or was it Alito? The only detail missing is the $267K RV. How prophetic (or, shall we say, pathetic?)!
Almost too many undisclosed gifts to count! Itโd be funny if it wasnโt so damning and damaging to public trust in the Supreme Court.
We must pass an enforceable code of ethics for the Supreme Court.
It's a strange quirk of human nature. Radical authoritarians and fascists lie all the time -- except when it comes to boasting about what they'll do when they come to power. Look. Listen. Learn.
Maddow: This is not a response to anything. What this is, is just menace and physical threat.
It's not politics. It's just power. It's just force. They're just promising violence. That is what they're offering.

@bruce_steiner
One has to give them credit for so effectively branding themselves "Fox News" when they are really a propaganda network worthy of Pravda or anything put out by the Chinese Communist Party. Truth in advertising name would be "Fox Propaganda Network."
@RBReich
Succinct and informative. Query: where are the agricultural and other U.S. employers who depend on immigrant workers, documented and not, who will suffer disaster if MAGA's radical xenophobic agenda is implemented? Presumably, many are conservative. Am I missing something?
When news got out that Thomas had failed to disclose $ millions in gifts from an ultra-right wing billionaire & others, he tried to claim he didn't understand the disclosure requirements. He's a Sup. Ct. JUSTICE. He's either a moron or a liar. Either way, he's gotta go.
Clarence Thomas reportedly failed to disclose more private travel provided by conservative megadonor Harlan Crow.
This is on top of recent reports that Thomas has received more than $4 million in gifts over the last two decades.
I stand by my call for him to resign.
The mainstream media is obviously lie-fatigued, and so don't call Trump out on the numerous lies he spews every time he opens him mouth. Thank you for doing your best to hold him accountable.

Biden's courageous decision to stand down has re-framed the discussion. This election is now about the Center-Left-Right Democratic Coalition (CLRDC) against the RAdical MAGA Authoritarian Ultra-Right. It's AOC & Clyburn & Kinzinger vs Bannon, MTG & Jim Jordan.

? And that he didn't have sex with a porn star? Didn't conspire w/ David Pecker to cheat his way to '16 GOP nomination? Didn't defraud NY State? Didn't defraud students of Trump University? Didn't take secret U.S. docs...?
Yes, MAGAites ARE Weird. But theyโre mostly Obsessive & Misguided. Some of these folks may be brought back into the sane fold with good communication & education. But those inclined to magical thinking & self-deception for comfort & control are, alas, beyond reach.
By a strange quirk of nature, the only time authoritarians tell the truth is when they talk about the hateful & harmful things they will do when they come to power. Everything else is a lie. As is Trump's predictable attempt to distance himself from Project 2025.
#VoteBlue2024
HOW KAMALA COULD HAVE ANSWERED BETTER: When Dana Bash noted that the VP that has never personally met Trump, instead of just agreeing, she should have said โI would have met him on Inauguration Day on Jan. 20th had he not fled Washington after his January 6 Insurrection failed."
Trump may or may not know if he's lying, but the mainstream media sure does. Yet they continue to enable him. Why? Not sure it's bias. Is it ratings? Profits? Lazy journalism? Poor ethics? Incompetence? All of those things?
#msmfailedus
Blaming Biden, & not Trump, for inflation is the equivalent selling a car that you know is a lemon, and then blaming the customer when it breaks down. Trump helped create inflation & left Biden holding the bag. Fortunately, Biden solved the pb. He deserves credit, not blame.
Harris now needs to apply same ad strategy to Inflation. Trumpโs appallingly incompetent handling of COVID led not only to 400K+ U.S. deaths, but a strangulation of worldwide supply chain that set stage for the inflation that Trump left for Biden to confront - & solve.
Trump's first ad attacked Harris on border policy, a move that was expected but the ad was still aggressively negative. Harris is taking the case right back to Trump, which there hasn't been much of over the last two years
So True. But as Stephanie Grisham observed, Trump believes that if you repeat a lie 3 or more times, people will start to believe it, & it's one of the few things on which he's correct. The question is, how often do you need to repeat a truth before people accept it?

@AdamKinzinger
says it all:
โThe Republican Party is no longer conservative. It has switched it allegiance from the principles that gave it purpose to a man whose only purpose is himself.
โDonald Trump is a weak man pretending to be strong. He is a small man pretending to be
If I may, thereโs something I need to get off my chest.
As democracy remains under siege, it has been frustrating to watch how the press covers politics these days.
I am reminded by lessons that came to me during the Nixon years as a CBS News correspondent, which Iโll add here:
Scam, plus they contributed to crippling of budget which helped add $8T to Nat. Debt. That, combined with Trump's criminally inept handling of Covid, which strangled global supply chain & raised prices, planted Inflation Bomb that exploded under Biden.
Disagree w/ Haberman. "Sane-washing" of Trump is a real thing. The old habits of journalism simply do not apply to Trump Era If you try to pare down a 5-minute nonsense rant to find some meaning, you're artificially separating the medium from the message & distorting content.
Maggie Haberman tells NPR that there is an "industry" dedicated to "attacking the media" from the left for its Trump coverage, which is "undermining faith" in journalism.
There is no such industry. Just a bunch of people who want better journalism.
Letโs be clear. This douche face makes Neville Chamberlain look heroic in comparison.
Trump is a weak, smelly, sick and scared trembling husk of a man.
I would hate to have the last name Trump when America vomits this man out of our souls
BREAKING: Bob Menendez says he will resign from the Senate.
Now, Phil Murphy, the Democratic governor of New Jersey will appoint a new Senator.
How do you feel?
It appears the defective short-term memories of the mainstream media, press & public have already forgotten the testimony under oath by David Pecker of his conspiring with Trump to invent false stories about his competitors and suppress truthful information. Talk about cheating!
He cheats at golf. He cheats on wives. He cheats on his financials. He cheats at elections. He cheats at everything, against anybody, whenever he can. Not just a little, but to a pathological degree.
Trump cheats. And we are here to remind the electorateโand himโof that
@gtconway3d
He's a tough cookie, but also smart, equally dedicated to Red & Blue Americans, & had a successful 1st Term. Most importantly, heโs not alone. He continues to be surrounded by a smart, youthful & competent VP, cabinet & staff who have worked hard to serve the American people.
