“The trouble with the world is that the stupid are cocksure and the intelligent full of doubt.” — Bertrand Russell

When he was asked to prove it, he lost his mind. California and America, now you see the Republican playbook. Because they can’t get what they want, the destruction of our representative democracy, they claim it’s all a fraud without any proof. WITHOUT ANY PROOF.

We get our ass kicked every 80 years. And here's why. 👇🏼 After 80 years the generational memory is gone. Everyone who lived through the last crisis is dead. Revolution in 1776. 80 years later — the Civil War. 600,000 dead. We couldn't resolve the stain in the Constitution any other way. 80 years after that — the Great Depression leading into World War II. We're 80 years out again. The last World War II veterans are 100 years old. The institutional memory is gone. And instead of remembering why we came together — we're tearing each other apart. This is the pattern. Every single time. We get beaten badly enough that we look around and say — okay, this is screwed up. How do we fix it? So here's what fixing it looks like: -25 to 50 year plans. -Bipartisan commitment. -Fix K-12 education. -Rebuild the infrastructure. -Jobs training. -Curb the deficit spending. Not a four year political cycle. A generational commitment. We've rebuilt ourselves every 80 years. Time to do it again. @Newsweek

Aaaaaaeeee!!!

You won't hear a better 55-second description of MAGA and Trump than this: in terms of the perspective of any minimally honest MAGA supporter:

Nancy Metayer Bowen stood up for those who needed a voice. She was assertive, empathetic and effective. Now she is gone.

A gut punch to South Florida and well beyond.

I am especially proud of @Torch437's work handling delicate matter of obituaries. Twice within last week, we've had a death that impacted #FlaPol. Maybe not household names. But the people mattered and deserved to be written about. Newspapers abandoned obits, of course.

This woman is smarter than almost everyone on X

Get over yourself, little hater. Odd language choice for a mom with young kids. Classy.

Clueless doesn’t even begin to cover this guy…

He threatens to sue so much it’s like now, even if you don’t have any money (or even if you do), “Oh no! The president of the United States is going to sue you for 10 billion dollars!” “Is that right? Could you pass the salt?” 🥱

I challenge her to go 60 seconds without lying. That’s all. 60 seconds.

Les États-Unis traversent une crise existentielle, nonobstant l'administration actuelle qui cherche à jouer aux mâles alpha pour dissimuler la scission qui est entrain de s'opérer. Cela ressent par l'argent injecté dans la communication, surtout à destination de l'étranger, pour faire croire à tout citoyen français, allemand, britannique etc. que son pays court à la guerre civile et que le havre de paix se situe aux États-Unis. C'est symptomatique de la fragilité croissante de l’empire américain. Un pouvoir qui projette sa propre décomposition chez les autres ne fait qu’avouer sa peur de l’effondrement intérieur.

Serious question: Why does the president think ending posts with “Thank you for your attention to this matter!” gives the preceding text some kind of dignity or weight?

So great to see these Tampa Bay Buccaneers contributing tonight: Mike Evan’s. Chris Godwin. Bucky Irving. Go Bucs!! #Bucs
