In any normal world, the candidate who did this would have to resign and step aside for another candidate. It would be a career-ending moment. But it’s Trump and American in bizarro 2024 so it’s all fine and we will quickly move on from this.
“That’s okay.” Man tries to violently attack the press at Trump rally in Pennsylvania. Trump, who often denigrates the press and promotes violence, defends him, says “that’s beautiful” and “he’s on our side”.
Bill Ackman used to be a serious person. Now he credulously accepts unsourced tweets from notorious MAGA influencers as statements of fact. It's genuinely embarrassing.
Nearly every Senate Republican voted against my legislation that would have required insurance to cover IVF.
Flip-flop on abortion. Flop-flip on abortion. The only issue on which Trump is consistent: his subservience to Putin. On that, Trump never wavers
Trump yesterday told NBC News that Florida’s 6-week abortion ban is "too short." Today, he tells Fox that he’s voting to uphold it.
This one is more revealing than most. Ordinary @politico behavior would be to highlight the savvy choice of making Trump smaller by not dwelling on his insults. "Evades questions" is a bizarre description on its face, but it's also strange behavior for the Politico newsroom, and…
It is a *little* weird that "age concerns" have disappeared as a constant focus of campaign reporting and discussion even though the GOP nominee would be the oldest man ever sworn in to the office and is very obviously sharply declining before our eyes.
"Border crossings, inflation and violent crime have all declined. "The US economy remains the strongest among Western countries. "The media has given greater attention to the problems and their political consequences than to progress in addressing them." niemanreports.org/articles/warpe…
My problem with the @nytimes election coverage is not mainly the dopey op-eds It's that on one substantive story after another--Egyptian payoffs, Arlington cemetery, etc--they've failed to do the serious investigative work they're capable of. Trump effectively gets a pass
Sullivan's selective outrage about using the military as political props: Posts from Reporting From Alaska for 08/30/2024 - eepurl.com/iX3OZs
Quick question: Am I looking at a sex offender registry or the Trump campaign organizational chart?
In Florida, the top 1 percent pay only 2.7% of their incomes on taxes. Meanwhile, the bottom 20 percent pay 13.2% of their income on taxes — nearly five times more. This is what I mean when I say the system is rigged for the rich.
In Florida, the richest 1% of earners get the biggest benefit from the state's tax code. Florida could be doing far more for low- and middle-income families. 31 states offer EITCs & 15 offer credits for dependent children. Florida offers neither. governing.com/finance/are-fl…
For anyone living in Anchorage, this is a piece you really should read. Emotionally wrenching though. Very well written. adn.com/opinions/2024/…
Bill to expand definition of ‘village’ qualifying for water funds passes Alaska House, reports Yereth Rosen (@YJRosen) of the @AlaskaBeacon: alaskabeacon.com/2024/05/09/bil… #akleg
You don't negotiate with cancer. You don't keep the cancer alive with tiny doses of medicine when you can wipe it out or cut it out. Stop acting like the status quo is coming back. It's a war, so fight to win. Give Ukraine everything now.
OPINION: Alaska Industrial Development and Export Authority squanders public funds on failed ventures while essential services languish. bit.ly/3JUW3sM
813 US billionaires control a record $5.7 trillion in wealth. The bottom 50% of Americans control $3.7 trillion in wealth. When ~800 people control more wealth than half a country’s population, we have a very serious problem.
