Dan won't let go of this nonsense, even when other progressives do.

" Alexandria Ocasio-Cortez went on 𝘔𝘚 𝘕𝘖𝘞 this week to talk about Democrats and working people. Instead she handed Republicans the quote of the cycle. “𝘞𝘰𝘳𝘬𝘪𝘯𝘨 𝘤𝘭𝘢𝘴𝘴 𝘸𝘢𝘴 𝘢 𝘦𝘶𝘱𝘩𝘦𝘮𝘪𝘴𝘮 𝘧𝘰𝘳 𝘳𝘢𝘤𝘦 𝘢𝘯𝘥 𝘨𝘦𝘯𝘥𝘦𝘳, 𝘢𝘯𝘥 𝘪𝘵 𝘸𝘢𝘴 𝘳𝘦𝘢𝘭𝘭𝘺 𝘢𝘣𝘰𝘶𝘵 𝘢 𝘷𝘦𝘳𝘺 𝘴𝘱𝘦𝘤𝘪𝘧𝘪𝘤 𝘢𝘯𝘥 𝘰𝘯𝘭𝘺 𝘰𝘯𝘦 𝘴𝘭𝘪𝘤𝘦 𝘰𝘧 𝘵𝘩𝘦 𝘸𝘰𝘳𝘬𝘪𝘯𝘨 𝘤𝘭𝘢𝘴𝘴.” That's Ocasio-Cortez, 𝐨𝐧 𝐭𝐡𝐞 𝐫𝐞𝐜𝐨𝐫𝐝, admitting the term her own party has used for a decade wasn't about paychecks at all. Fox News contributor Tomi Lahren didn't let it sit. Responding to the same clip, she laid out the contrast in one breath: “𝘏𝘦 𝘧𝘰𝘤𝘶𝘴𝘦𝘴 𝘰𝘯 𝘢𝘭𝘭 𝘈𝘮𝘦𝘳𝘪𝘤𝘢𝘯𝘴, 𝘳𝘦𝘨𝘢𝘳𝘥𝘭𝘦𝘴𝘴 𝘰𝘧 𝘳𝘢𝘤𝘦 𝘰𝘳 𝘨𝘦𝘯𝘥𝘦𝘳. 𝘔𝘰𝘳𝘦 𝘱𝘦𝘰𝘱𝘭𝘦 𝘢𝘳𝘦 𝘸𝘰𝘳𝘬𝘪𝘯𝘨 𝘪𝘯 𝘰𝘶𝘳 𝘤𝘰𝘶𝘯𝘵𝘳𝘺 𝘳𝘪𝘨𝘩𝘵 𝘯𝘰𝘸. 𝘉𝘺 𝘧𝘢𝘳, 𝘪𝘯𝘤𝘰𝘮𝘦𝘴 𝘧𝘰𝘳 𝘩𝘢𝘳𝘥𝘸𝘰𝘳𝘬𝘪𝘯𝘨 𝘈𝘮𝘦𝘳𝘪𝘤𝘢𝘯𝘴 𝘩𝘢𝘷𝘦 𝘴𝘰𝘢𝘳𝘦𝘥 𝘵𝘰 𝘵𝘩𝘦 𝘩𝘪𝘨𝘩𝘦𝘴𝘵 𝘭𝘦𝘷𝘦𝘭 𝘦𝘷𝘦𝘳 𝘳𝘦𝘤𝘰𝘳𝘥𝘦𝘥.” This isn't a slip of the tongue. It's the quiet part of identity politics said out loud: when the left says “𝐰𝐨𝐫𝐤𝐢𝐧𝐠 𝐜𝐥𝐚𝐬𝐬,” they've long meant a demographic checklist, not a tax bracket. Meanwhile the guy they love to call a threat to working people is the one polling strongest with the union hall, the farm, and the factory floor he actually shows up to (𝐅𝐨𝐱 𝐍𝐞𝐰𝐬, 𝐌𝐒 𝐍𝐎𝐖). 𝐒𝐡𝐞 𝐣𝐮𝐬𝐭 𝐭𝐨𝐥𝐝 𝐲𝐨𝐮 𝐰𝐡𝐨 𝐬𝐡𝐞 𝐰𝐚𝐬 𝐧𝐞𝐯𝐞𝐫 𝐭𝐚𝐥𝐤𝐢𝐧𝐠 𝐚𝐛𝐨𝐮𝐭."

"Congratulations to NBC’s Kristen Welker, who has apparently pioneered a revolutionary new form of journalism: interviewing a Senate candidate while demonstrating absolutely no fucking interest in what his answers mean. Michigan Democrat Abdul El-Sayed was asked whether he or his family had ties to the Muslim Brotherhood. He said no. Twice. Wonderful! Case closed! Somebody get this woman a Pulitzer. Except El-Sayed’s own half-sister, Eman Abdelhadi, had publicly written, “My family has long been MB,” described their mother’s Muslim Brotherhood activism in Egypt, and discussed relatives imprisoned for belonging to the organization. You’d think that might inspire a question. Perhaps even two, if NBC’s investigative journalism department could survive the exertion. Instead, Welker allowed El-Sayed to accuse Republican Mike Rogers of attacking his Muslim faith and launch into a 479-word campaign speech lasting more than two and a half minutes. Four hundred seventy-nine words. Jesus Christ. At that point, why bother having an interviewer? Just hand the candidate a microphone, dim the lights, and let his campaign manager yell cut when the commercial ends. And remember, this is the same Welker who can interrupt Donald Trump like a malfunctioning smoke detector when the subject turns to authoritarianism. Apparently, her journalistic instincts come with a party affiliation and an extremely convenient on-off switch. The truly humiliating part is how little effort actual journalism would have required. Read the sister’s statements. Ask El-Sayed to explain them. Wait for an answer. Four simple steps, apparently beyond the operational capabilities of NBC News. What a magnificent fucking embarrassment for a network that still expects Americans to take its political coverage seriously. NBC should save itself the trouble of pretending these are interviews. Replace Welker’s desk with a campaign-approved suggestion box. At least then viewers would know exactly who's writing the fucking questions."

"PROVEN fraud differs from SUSPECTED fraud. Proven fraud is what you see in courtrooms: Feeding Our Future, $250 million stolen while the state looked the other way. Convictions. Prison sentences. Suspected fraud is worse — because the Democrats running Minnesota can't prove your tax dollars went to legitimate people in the first place. Case in point: in February, the Trump administration froze $259 million in Minnesota Medicaid funds. CMS Director Dr. Oz offered a simple deal — prove the claims are legitimate and you get the money back. Eight months later, Minnesota still can't prove it. Now the state's own top Medicaid official admits the money may be gone for good. Total frozen: $550 million. If those claims were legitimate, they'd have produced the paperwork by now. They can't — because the records don't exist. This sloppy ignorance of fraud has been going on since at least 2014. 12 years times 550 million....well...you get the point. THIS is why we believe more than $9 billion of your money has been stolen. And tomorrow is property tax day in Minnesota. When you write that check, remember: when billions vanish into fraud, somebody always pays. When the State and your County aren't being reimbursed because Democrats were caught running the largest fraud scheme in US history, the people who pay are the taxpayers like you. 20 days until Election Day."

"Bernie Sanders says the top 1% owns more than the bottom 93%, that fewer than a thousand billionaires got $2.2 trillion richer last year, and that it's "obscene." It's the most seductive and most wrong economic argument of our time. Let me explain why. First, wealth distribution follows a power law. Always. Everywhere. Books, music, startups, followers on X, goals in soccer. A small minority captures most of the value. That's not a bug of capitalism. It's the mathematical signature of every system where value gets created. So the only question that matters isn't "how big is the rich's slice?" It's "is the cake growing, and is the slice of the poorest growing with it?" And the answer is yes. In 1990, more than one human in three lived in extreme poverty. Today it's about one in ten. During exactly the period when billionaires multiplied. Bernie shows you the slice. He never shows you the cake. Second thing he won't tell you: past a certain level, wealth stops being consumption. It becomes capital allocation. Elon Musk isn't sleeping on a pile of cash. He owns stakes in Tesla, SpaceX, xAI. Jeff Bezos owns Amazon stock. That "$2.2 trillion" isn't sitting in a checking account. It's factories, rockets, data centers, millions of jobs. Nobody can eat $100 billion. You can only decide where to invest it. Once you understand that, the whole debate changes. The real question becomes: who allocates capital better? The people who built Amazon, SpaceX and Nvidia? Or politicians? A 5% wealth tax isn't "taking money from the rich." It's taking investment decisions away from people who proved they can create value and handing them to people who proved the opposite. Because the fundamental difference between an entrepreneur and a politician is consequences. The entrepreneur invests his own money. If he allocates badly, he loses everything. The market corrects him brutally, no appeal. That's why most startups die: the system kills bad decisions. The politician invests other people's money. If he allocates badly, nothing happens. Worse, he gets a bigger budget to "fix the problem." Milton Friedman put it better than anyone. There are four ways to spend money. Your money on yourself: you care about price and quality. Your money on others: you care about price. Others' money on yourself: you care about quality. Others' money on others: you care about nothing. Government is the fourth box. By design. Perfect example: California high-speed rail. Approved in 2008 for about $33 billion. Current estimated cost: over $100 billion. Passengers carried: zero. No entrepreneur would have survived that. The politicians who pushed it built careers on it. And when allocation has no consequences, it eventually finds a buyer. A politician who controls billions without accountability becomes the most profitable target in the world for anyone who wants to steer that money. The irony is that the left that rails against billionaires is itself funded by billionaires. George Soros is one of the biggest Democratic donors in history. The Gates Foundation shapes public health policy across the planet. Politicians don't fight billionaires. They pick their own. The ones who fund the state over the ones who compete with it. So if we actually want fewer poor people, we have to stop judging ideas by their intentions and start judging them by their results. And the results are brutally clear. China, 1978: Deng Xiaoping opens the economy to markets. More than 800 million people escape extreme poverty. The largest retreat of misery in human history. Not through redistribution. Through the freedom to build. India, 1991: liberalization. Same movie. South Korea and North Korea: same people, same language, same starting point in 1953. One became one of the most advanced economies on earth. The other has famines. Poland and Ukraine: comparable living standards in 1990. Today the average Pole is more than three times richer than the average Ukrainian. Argentina: a year and a half of liberalization, and the poverty rate falls from over 50% to around 30%. No country in history escaped poverty by punishing the people who build. Every single one did it by letting them build. And if you want to see what Bernie's program looks like in real life, you don't have to imagine it. It exists. It's called France. We've been running it for 45 years. Mass nationalizations in 1981. Two years later, Socialist president Mitterrand has to reverse course into austerity. Retirement at 60. The 35-hour workweek. A wealth tax for 35 years. Hundreds of wealthy households left every year for Belgium, Switzerland, London, taking their capital, their companies and their future taxes with them. Macron finally scrapped it in 2018. Hollande's 75% tax: raised a few hundred million, drove talent out, abandoned after two years. One of the highest tax burdens in the OECD. Public spending around 57% of GDP, a record in the developed world. Last balanced budget: 1974. Public debt: over €3.4 trillion. Mass unemployment for four decades. If taxing the rich and growing the state made people prosperous, France would be the richest country on the planet. It isn't. GDP per capita in France is barely more than half of America's. It's lower than Mississippi, the poorest state in the US. Not a single global tech giant. Our best engineers build Silicon Valley instead. I've been going back and forth between Paris and San Francisco for years. I see it every week. And California is about to replay the movie. Prop 40, on the ballot November 3rd, would take 5% of billionaires' net worth. Even Gavin Newsom, a Democratic governor, opposes it. The state's own nonpartisan budget analyst warns that income tax revenue could drop every year if the wealthy leave. Larry Page, Sergey Brin and Peter Thiel have reportedly already started moving their assets out. You don't fight poverty by shrinking the top. You fight it by growing the cake. Bernie wants a society where nobody has too much. I want a society where nobody has too little. The first has been tried everywhere and produces equality in stagnation. The second lifted a billion people out of misery. Choose."

"Outrage is erupting in Baltimore after a mother was CHARGED in the DE*TH of her own 2-month-old baby, who was STARVED, BEATEN, DEHYDRATED, and had BLEEDING IN HIS BRAIN... ...and she was LET OUT ON BOND in just 3 DAYS!!! His name was Malik Woodard, he lived 83 days. Medical records show that in those 83 days, he gained just 50 GRAMS. That’s less than TWO OUNCES, for his whole life. On August 31st, 2025, around 11:30 in the morning, police were called to Loch Raven Boulevard and Gorsuch Avenue for a baby who wasn’t breathing. Firefighters did CPR. He didn't survive. According to charging documents, his great-grandmother heard him crying abnormally and struggling to breathe. She went to his mother. His mother ordered her grandmother to LEAVE THE ROOM. That mother is Taylor Williams. She’s 20 years old. Williams told investigators she stepped into the bathroom and came back to find her son unresponsive. Then the medical examiner ruled: -> Head trauma that caused BLEEDING IN HIS BRAIN. -> Severe dehydration. -> Malnutrition. That ruling didn’t reach detectives until June of this year... nearly TEN MONTHS later. She wasn’t arrested until October 5th... more than a YEAR afterwards BUT IT GETS WORSE. She was charged with first-degree child abuse resulting in de@th. In Maryland, that carries up to LIFE in prison, but guess what? Three days later, on Thursday, October 8th, she posted bond and she WENT HOME. Say his name. Malik Woodard."
