The irony here is that the American welfare state *is* comparatively inefficient, but that’s precisely because we spend more money making poor people prove they are poor and monitoring how they use their benefits, which bird-brain here is proposing as the solution for waste.

Ramaswamy: hundreds of billions of dollars can be cut from Medicaid, Social Security and Medicare through “basic program integrity measures.” Seemingly a starkly different position than Trump took in his first term

The REAL story on Pam Bondi, Trump University, and Trump's $25,000 payment to Bondi: 1/ In August 2013, I was at the NY AG, and Bondi was Florida AG. On August 24, 2013, I filed the NY AG's prosecution of Trump University and Donald Trump, for $42 million in fraud. 🧵

These guys, lol. The amount of right wing money devoted to propping up ideas that can’t survive in a true marketplace of ideas is astounding. Hillsdale is barely a data point. Now, twitter….this abruptly became a world wide data point. The entire world just got Trump’d.

59% of Americans favor replacing the Electoral College with a direct popular vote, and 17 states (and D.C.) pledged to adopt a popular vote. Learn why that means the loss of YOUR voice in presidential elections today in Hillsdale College’s important video.

This argument in American Governemnt 101 classes would get a “D” if it was not accompanied by descriptions of other models of representation that were debated by the nation’s founders. Founders were terrified about the implications of “the base.” They were called “factions.”

If @SenThomTillis had any moral fortitude and backbone, his vote wouldn’t be that difficult. A Republican should never vote based on what democrats think. If your base wants you to vote a certain way, then do it. #ncpol wral.com/story/trump-no…
