Do we know what the cash price will be?
I give a lot of credit to Frank Luntz who taught the Republicans and Fox News how to manipulate their base
We are in this mess because of weak Dem leadership. We should have complained a lot more.
It's shocking to me (1) how few people understand how organized all of this destruction is; (2) how little organized response there's been. We couldn't even motivate a full-throated public defense from the opposing party. They let the smears fester & those smears factored into their defeat in 2024.
The adamant elite refusal to call bullshit is a big part of How We Got Here. The prevailing cultural attitude for years is you must not, under any circumstances, treat anything as bad faith. You are obligated to find some reasonable idea and engage with that, even if you distort to get there.
“In Finland, the number of homeless people has fallen sharply. Those affected receive a small apartment & counselling with no preconditions. 4 out of 5 people affected make their way back into a stable life. And all this is CHEAPER than accepting homelessness.” It costs a lot less to house people.
I’d say the average American doesn’t have a clue what’s going on. The institutions and media do but they’re all waiting for someone else to do something.
I’m sorry :( Did he lose it already? Or do you mean he will in 2026/2027?
I think they tell themselves it’s a means to an end.
Why would he want to? Thinking she better watch her back if she does get out.
The oil industry buys off Congress. No action on climate. The NRA buys off Congress. No action on guns. Insurance companies buy off Congress. No action on health care. The list goes on and on. Money in politics is the root of our dysfunction.

3 minutes is significant. I read an AP @apnews.com article a few days ago that said it was one minute. One minute would not be long enough I think.
Please explain
Will Democrats make it abundantly clear to people who is to blame for them having no health insurance, fewer hospitals and services and more expensive healthcare for everyone who still has insurance?
He’s just on auto pilot selfishness, at every turn. He probably doesn’t think about consequences much. Just living moment to moment in service to his ego and what he thinks will make him feel better.
The lesson for Democrats is clear: Fight fascist oligarchy or get replaced.
op?
The stupidest people are in charge because we couldn’t prosecute a political crime because it would look too political.
Not to mention what Obama could have done
There’s an opportunity here: the Alex Joneses of the world have cultivated an audience using narratives of government overreach, skepticism of power, etc. His followers are going to have a short window of dissonance around this shift. A savvy left would seize the moment to message that audience.
😂

Looks like you’re beholden to a number of industries and lobbyists. Can you truly represent the people?
If I were the Democratic Party, I'd be running ads 24/7 about how Donald Trump is gold plating the oval office, accepting jets as bribes, and getting rich on selling access via crypto while simultaneously tanking the markets while cutting Medicare & Social Security but hey what do I know.
Great article by two very important voices
Republicans have think tanks, organization and people like Frank Luntz who steered the party, playing on constituents emotions like a fiddle, with Fox News the foundation and catalyst.
Don’t confuse you not wanting to get angry or being comfortable with anger in politics with it not being effective. It’s effective. Republicans are terrified of their constituents and Dems are starting to be too.
He doesn’t want to have to do anything so just pretend there’s no problem!
Keep this in mind when people claim cars mean business — closing Central #Madrid to cars over holidays resulted in a 9.5% boost in retail spending on its main shopping street: STUDY. There was also a 71% drop in air pollution. Via @carltonreid.com in @forbes.com. #citymakingmath #citiesforpeople
Both domestic and international news outlets are not telling you about the American pushback. For example, did you hear about the 15k people who just came to the "Fight Oligarchy and Authoritarianism" rally with Bernie and AOC in Arizona? Unheard of outside of campaign seasons.
Unless you control the sun :/
Accused?
Would their external auditor have to be in on it?
Yep, he knew he was headed to prison. And worse, about to be revealed as not only not a genius, but epic failure.
It’s all about personal loyalty. And blackmail.
Monumental missed opportunity imo
There were plenty of big crimes the Biden FBI, DOJ, SEC, NHTSA could have gone after both Trump and Musk for, yet didn’t. Nobody is above the law?? Weak Dem leadership, often afraid to do the right thing when it might upset some people. Now the consequences.
Uh yeah, if only NHTSA hadn’t looked the other way for years. Thanks Biden Administration!
Highly recommend the most recent episode of On with Kara Swisher where she interviews Ezra Klein and Derek Thompson
Some of them are
Listen to the most recent On with Kara Swisher where she interviews Ezra and Derek Thompson. Interesting and thought provoking episode.
Agree but also disturbed he voted to confirm some of Trump’s nominees.
This statement alone should disqualify him from his job. He’s shown no ability to adapt.
Maybe Dem states should build more affordable housing and job programs for young people
Even his reading glasses feel like gaslighting
Multiple people I know absolutely love it, each of them on a different one.
There was some interesting discussion about this on the latest On with Kara Swisher with guests Derek Thompson and Ezra Klein. Big failure in Dem-run states.
And they don’t seem to see their monumental failures
The Democratic Party has been very poorly run.
Lakoff is as close as it gets to having our own Luntz (but not evil) but Dems never listened or organized.
Tesla FSD has crashed into far worse. People have setup cardboard children and they blew right through. Also they used to not stop for school buses. Has that been fixed? It was always 1 step forward, 2 steps behind with FSD bug fixes.
1) Does the typical user of these meds pay $1000? The people I know pay about $25 a month 2) What about the enormous savings in food? 3) The same peptides from compounding pharmacies are way cheaper than the cash price of the branded drugs. Very cost effective!
That’s not all he was responsible for. “Death tax” and “illegal immigrants” to name a few. He’s essentially responsible for what Fox News and the GOP has turned into. It kills me when I see him being treated as some kind of respectable figure. www.sourcewatch.org/index.php/Fr...
Same with Elon. All we and the media need to do is ridicule them and they will either completely lose it or cave
I’ll interpret: the right is highly addicted to own-the-libs nonsense while the left doesn’t fall for such manipulation.
Some have put out a cardboard cutout of a child and the Tesla blew through that too.
But that’s not normal so they would never do it
And K-12 education about cognitive distortions and biases. Our egos come wired a certain way, some more pathological than others.
You know what stories I would like to read and hear about? People who have been pushed even more to the left/progressive/ Dem socialist side after the last several years-- and after everything happening with the Dem establishment now.
Delusion, or unwillingness or inability to change and wanting to still keep their positions? Schumer has been playing the game “how to look good by doing nothing” forever. He’s probably dumbfounded why it’s suddenly not working.
Also wrecking and de-educating the country. Putin is downright gleeful about all of it.
Thanks! Makes sense, just never heard of thought of it even tho I turn a banana bread recipe into muffins all the time 😂
Never thought to make soda bread into muffins!
Ridicule him. He won’t be able to take it.

This is horrible to post, but I may as well post it. We are essentially shutting down research operations in my group, which is focused on treatments for pediatric brain cancer. I’m a well funded investigator, and there’s no choice. Science can’t function without the stability of NIH
Walz unbound truly is something to behold. His talents were wasted by an over-cautious campaign.
these are our party leaders now, ignore all other opinions
The institutional Democratic Party is guided by an almost pathological level of conflict avoidance in almost every direction. “What can we do to make the least number of people mad?” is just a bankrupt way to operate.
Goal #1 = please Putin Goal #2 = please his ego
Isn’t that how it always is?
He regularly harassed women? She wasn’t alone because she convinced some others to join her but she was certainly leading the charge. I hope he runs again.
Yes she did push him out. If not for her, he’d probably still be a senator.
💯
BURR: “What I don’t get is the amount of veterans, people in the armed services, that died to stop Hitler. Then this guy comes in, you know, and does that [salute] .. How you can be like support the troops .. and then guy this comes in and gives a shoutout to Hitler?” variety.com/2025/tv/news...
I’d like to ask every single New Yorker who’s remotely left of center to get actively involved in your local Democratic Party chapter with the goal of driving Schumer, Gillibrand, Hochul, Adams, Cuomo and all the other dead wood into retirement.
This is completely fucked up. I know everything is fucked up, but THIS is why universities need to stand up and fight, not cave like Columbia did. NOTHING will satisfy them, and all the capitulation just leads to more demands and humiliation.
Let’s hope
It’s all about appearances
Elon Musk put $6M of his own money into the Wisconsin Supreme Court race so they can re-rig elections in Wis and re-guarantee MAGA majorities even when they lose. They will do everything they can to cancel votes of Democrats in swing states. DO NOT LET THEM. www.nytimes.com/2025/03/13/u...
Donated!
I wonder what his plan is
Dem leadership sucks so bad
That would require some level of organization and unity, something Dems don’t/can’t/won’t do. When in trouble, just point the finger at progressives and move right!
He’s Putin’s puppet. He’s taking a wrecking ball to the entire country, as Putin would like. Next up, national parks and national monuments.
It is so beyond me why any Dem would confirm any of these nominations. What is the story they’re telling themselves?
I found her statement stunning. What are Dr. Jones and the board thinking??! How do they not address this asap?
Strong statement about the gifted students he sees leaving for private schools.
Why???
Why are they doing it?
Why? Seriously, why? You don’t get it.
I don’t know, sounds like something Pelosi would say too. Convenient excuse to not do anything.
