Not about border security--it's about using taxpayer money to feed red meat to right-wing extremists

Joaquin Castro:

Even with border crossing down 70%, @GovAbbott's behavior is becoming more extreme and cruel.

For him, this isn't about border security — it’s about using taxpayer money to feed red meat to right-wing extremists.

The White House cat thinks she owns the place

From NY Magazine:

?resize=1024%2C768&ssl=1

When discussing life in the White House during another town hall in July 2021, [Biden] remarked, “It is very hard to get comfortable.”

While you might think the addition of a cat would make the White House feel more like a home, it seems that hasn’t solved the problem. In January 2023 the president revealed that his new cat Willow is adding to his discomfort.

“Willow may walk in here any time now. She has no limits,” Biden said. “You think I’m kidding, I’m not. Especially in the middle of the night when she climbs up and lays on top of my head.”

Of course she has no limits. She’s a cat.

This was a courageous and hugely consequential Biden choice.

He turned away from the neoliberal economists who had done Wall Street’s bidding for decades and instead prioritized real people and the real economy. And the results have been great.

Remember when the experts said that to get inflation under control we needed to lower wages, and drive up unemployment?

I never bought that.

Instead, I focused on getting more Americans into the workforce, fixing our broken supply chains, and lowering costs.

And it's working.
