The fuck?

I think the offer was fine, especially since it was rejected. Shows goodwill negotiation that independents say they like, doesn’t cost anything

That effort is what finally pushed me to the super sketchy-sounding freetaxusa. Its actually been great for the last few years - easier than TurboTax and cheaper

Too /s!

I kind of feel bad for her. She genuinely does seem to be spiraling

I want to know if the MRI was ordered before or after the “very hard” cognitive test…my grandfather’s dementia was diagnosed as due to multiple infarctions and he lived a long time in memory care. Get the 25th ready

Agree on Reagan, of course. Sorry about the SNAP - feeding your citizens (and giving a handout to farmers at the same time) is such a no brainer that it’s my go-to when trying to convince folks that Cruelty is the Point with these policies.

Consider your local foodbank. We, and I’m sure others too, see SNAP disappearing and donated what we could split between state and local food banks. I don’t know what else we could do right now. Except stock up some more on bulk dry rice and beans

I mean, go ahead? The rat fuckery of the last “primary” has a lot to do with our current administration. I think blame for that rests squarely on Biden and that she would’ve been a fine president. That said, I’m not sure I’d vote for her in a primary, so I’d much rather she not be anointed by the DNC or major PACs before a fair primary

I don’t know, the line between malice and stupidity has become so blurred with these folks - like some really didnt know what they were voting for but that’s only because they didn’t want to either out of weakness or assholishness. I never really grasped Malicious Stupidity before, nor how many of us were in its throes.

I get this take and am in the same boat. The thing though is that the people who disapprove with trump is about the same as the number that “strongly disapprove” of trump. We have no more loathing to give.

Righting the ship will require breaking through to the disconnected and mildly red.

And the WH destruction is a) not a traditionally partisan issue, b) strongly symbolic, and c) a powerful visual.

So is it the worst thing he’s doing? Not by a mile. Will I be happy if it wakes people up? Vehemently.

Hey, they got Capone on tax fraud

There are a couple issues the left-of-center crowd have pushed that would help everyone’s wages: Higher minimum wage would raise wages beyond those at the minimum. Universal healthcare would allow workers to be less tied to their current jobs (and enable more entrepreneurship Anti corruption measures and progressive taxation aren’t quite as popular among mainstream Dems, but would go a long way as well. There’s a lot of work to do and the longer this shotshow goes on, the harder it will be later, as you say. America is losing so much expertise and power to this fascist garbage

Good. The demolition is disgusting, and apparently illegal. If legal efforts don’t lan out, the couple can send their son, Jason, to scare the courts

Won’t the next pres nominally be sworn in on Jan 2029? So as long as Trump keeps a pulse, he’ll be pres in 2028. F bannon, but that’s a dumb headline

Banshee for con? Their wail instakill (dc13) mechanic is bad enough that I’ve never run banshees against my players

I think Chenoweth specifically cited 3.5% as Sustained protest, rather than a single day effort. A big part of these spread out protests is building groundswell, showing we’re not alone, and meeting like minded patriots to coordinate future action. Even if it were 20 M today, if they came out for two hours and went home, I don’t expect the gov to just magically revert to a constitutional republic. Plenty of work ahead

Some sane-voting republicans, a bunch of not, and fetterman

Wish she wouldn’t. As someone on the opposite side of the country, I’d prefer Plattner beats Collins

They’ll time it for 2026 if they’re ready. They can’t let Dems have an ounce of power to preserve democracy

“meh” And focus on making things better

Didn’t Hochul’s endorsement not influence his support at all? I feel like mamdani won’t get any benefit from their endorsements, but also that elected Dems are going to take a hit for their silence
