The CW on Kennedy is that he's a smart man who pretends to be stupid. Maybe that's right. But if the senator thinks he's mocking Bier in this exchange, he's lacking some pretty basic self-awareness.

Post by Anne Applebaum saying Trump would not get angry at Putin even if Americans die, quoting a tweet stating Trump refused to condemn Russia for helping Iran target U.S. troops. The image shows Trump speaking to reporters on an aircraft with aides nearby.

GIFFORDS (@giffords.org) Kristi Noem and the Trump admin admit that murdering peaceful protestors is wrong and unlawful. Those who murdered Renee Good and Alex Pretti must be held accountable. Thank you, @raskin.house.gov,…

Power without accountability is dangerous.

That's exactly what we're seeing from Kristi Noem.

You can’t starve the public sector to excellence Most people understand a basic truth: you get what you pay for. Skip maintenance on your roof, and you shouldn’t be surprised when leaks appear. The same is true of government. If we want a high-funct...

The central constraint on public-sector performance is not the power of unionsβ€”it is chronic underinvestment.

@hshierholz.bsky.social + @joshbivens-econ.bsky.social: If we want a high-functioning public sector, we need to pay for it.

Last night, Trump touted a new retirement savings plan to help millions of working Americans.Β 

Except it's not a new plan. It's Democrats' planβ€”and President Biden already signed it into law in 2022.Β 

Beware of Trump taking Democrats' accomplishments and passing them off as his own.
