- People are under-reacting to the news of the unilateral installation of Trump cronies to run the Eastern and Southern Districts of New York US Attorney's offices.
- It's crazy how Greenwald, Taibbi et al act like Democrats ran the 2020 FBI. Trump fired the Establishment Republican FBI Director (Comey) to install his own guy (Chris Christie's Bridgegate lawyer Chris Wray). And the FBI has been notoriously right wing since Hoover.
- Abundance world is anti-solidarity to its very core.
- Warren has drawn real blood. This is pretty revelatory.GOP divided over Elizabeth Warren amendment to remove Confederate names from military assets as Trump calls on Republicans to fall in line. Republicans acknowledge it’s going to be difficult to strip the plan out - even as WH threatens a veto. cnn.com/2020/06/11/pol…
- You know who is doing a really bad job? DHS Secretary Kirstjen Nielsen, who is fixated on innocent migrants 1000 miles away from the country while white nationalist terrorism is running rampant within the country.
- This Elaine Chao story should be 1 of the biggest scandals in U.S. politics. The political saliency of a Cabinet member (& Senate Majority Leader) with close ties to the US' most powerful international rival is OBVIOUSLY amazing politics. nytimes.com/2019/06/02/us/…
- Telling analogy -- Anita Hill told the truth.Here we go. Anita Hill redux. washingtonpost.com/investigations…
- The core of the @ewarren message is so fundamentally intersectional that a predominantly African-American audience in Mississippi gets the same answers she gives in Iowa or New Hampshire.
- Boeing used to be run by engineers and was a national treasure, then it became run by anti-union financiers and it started sucking. Really important story!
- I will NEVER understand why middle of the road Democrats, neither conservative nor populist.... backed Buttigieg over Booker. Booker is VASTLY better qualified, more sincere, has the edge in charisma and policy depth....Following the news of Booker dropping out of the presidential race reupping this story about how presidential candidates, including Booker, stayed with supporters on the campaign trail. wsj.com/articles/candi…
- Repeat after me: A competent Democratic Party whose leadership didn't always believe passivity to be the wisest course WOULD MAKE POLITICAL HAY OUT OF THESE FACTS! Politicians shouldn't fear being perceived as political! It's in their job description! nytimes.com/2022/05/22/bus…
- So @ewarren has ended @MikeBloomberg and Chris Matthews this cycle and some people think she can't beat Trump???CHRIS MATTHEWS just now: "I’m retiring – this is the last Hardball on MSNBC."
