"Things more important than money" says the guy who sued his patients over $100 copays.
Sen. Roger Marshall trying to brush off spiking gas prices by claiming "there are things more important than money" is peak tone-deaf elitism. Try telling that to working families drowning under the inflation and high energy costs he enabled. #momsky#sheshed #momthevote
It's already kinda cliche, but I haven't heard someone communicate this succinctly and endearingly since Obama.
When JD Vance says Abdul El-Sayed should express "gratitude" for what America has given him, Vance is really saying he's lower on the American hierarchy than "heritage Americans" are. I asked El-Sayed to respond to this point. Here's his answer: newrepublic.com/article/2169...
The lane they've picked is racism, Kevin.
They're weirdly pressing two kinds of white supremacist lies at once -- some non-white immigrants are poverty-wracked criminals who are eating our dogs and cats, but other non-white immigrants are rich elites who are buying up mansions and flying first class. Pick a fucking lane, you clowns.
Just trying to hit all the right-wing boogeyman nonsense into one sentence now are we?
Mike Waltz alleges that "the communist party in Cuba has been working with antifa and a number of other progressive leftist groups to sow chaos in our inner cities ... they're doing it with the violent environmentalist movement and pro-Palestinian movement"
Boomers were handed the best economy in the history of humanity and spent the last 40 years doing nothing besides pulling up the ladder behind them.
“I’m old. I’ve paid my home off,” said Ray Warner, a 72-year-old Akron resident. “Why would I pay property tax?” Across the country, homeowners are asking the same question and revolting against property taxes at a scale not seen in a half century.
Hassett: "If economic polls were correct, then people wouldn't be taking trips to nice hotels, they wouldn't be flying, they wouldn't be buying cars, they wouldn't be doing all the things they do when they're feeling good about the economy... people are acting like we're in a boom. We are in a boom"
Free campaign ad pitch - "Don't vote for the measles party Party."
Minnesota Republican state Sen. Bill Lieske: "Back in the day when the measles vaccine didn't exist, measles was a joke! ... yes, there are increases cases. How many of those are actually resulting in deaths? Are they just going home with the sniffles? Back in the day, people had measles parties."
Wonder if every Republican running for any office going on any show on any network will be asked to go on record disavowing this bigoted tirade by Kid Rock or is that just something we do to Democrats and Hasan Piker?
Kid Rock goes full Islamophobic bigot while talking about Abdul El-Sayed on Fox News: "I know he looks assimilated... I would be very careful. Guess who else assimilated? The Fort Hood shooter. Guess who else assimilated? Pilots that flew airplanes into our World Trade Centers!"
We are a vile, cruel nation.
NEW: ICE is trying to deport a mother of 4 while her husband is at Fort Benning in Army basic training. When she went to pick up the family's military IDs, Navy personnel turned her over to ICE. She's been in the US since age six. With @nancyayoussef.bsky.social www.theatlantic.com/politics/202...

He took the "Your imaginary friend is way less cool than my imaginary friend!" argument away from this guy like a pro.
Heckler: “I voted for Biden. I like you, but I can't vote for you. The problem is, his book says something different than my book.” The crowd booed. Security started to approach the man. But Abdul El Sayed stopped him. Abdul El Sayed: “Let him stay.Let him stay." The guards backed off. He paused.
