absolutely dishonest or naive about what's going on. no one is attacking PPP. people are calling out the hypocrisy of the right having their loans forgiven, while saying loans shouldn't be forgiven https://t.co/NQwQleLAzO

The White House started randomly posting people's PPP loans? That sure does sound weird!

Oh... what's that? They did it in response to specific elected officials claiming that loan forgiveness is bad?

Poliwag, maybe be less full of shit and you won't lose so many markers. https://t.co/2JFWE9pO3i

The trap being that if you... took government forgiveness on a loan you'll be criticized if you then claim it's bad for the government to grant forgiveness?

Bruh, that's a "trap" the way a finger-trap is a "trap". https://t.co/9BNGcFSvI6

Honeybear, the point is PPP loan forgiveness was good (and clearly those who took advantage of it thought so, including the right-wing).

What's bad is the hypocrisy of opposing loan forgiveness for *others* having benefitted from loan forgiveness themselves. https://t.co/gYLtJYmpOa

the PPP program was pretty stupidly designed but, as it was sold to the public, was a remarkably generous idea of governmental support during a time of profound crisis and nobody is actually mad about the few cases where it was actually used as intended.

If you voted for $2 trillion in unpaid-for tax cuts for the wealthy and corporations, no one wants to hear your opinion on targeted relief for working and middle class Americans

Does anyone besides me see the irony in a politician suddenly being concerned about “unintended consequences?” @CatoHealth @mfcannon @jeffreyamiron @TCBurrus @ConLawWarrior https://t.co/pjNIZHSmQ3

Dear friends, if any of you cover up thousands of instances of child sexual abuse, then we will not be friends anymore. I guess that line just has to be made explicit, for some reason. https://t.co/IxkleDIO5S

A Louisiana woman is forced to carry a skull-less fetus for the next 6 months

A parent-less 16-year-old was denied an abortion

A 10-yr-old rape victim was denied an abortion

A Texas woman was forced to carry a dead fetus to term

Amy Coney Barrett, this is your gruesome legacy

I didn’t think it would be possible for such a blatantly racist idea to get funding, but no one limbos under the bar of my already-low expectations like the Bay Area tech startup scene. https://t.co/rzEMV9GhcM

Too many people fetishize long-dead Black folks they perceive to be safe in order to avoid confronting the valid ongoing complaints of Black folks in the present. https://t.co/lyAnnp5rkK

Trump and his movement cannot be permitted to set the price of social peace -- and preservation of the rule of law itself -- at a grant of absolute impunity for Trump. https://t.co/Czu91izJ6b https://t.co/aRoCFT2YHi

I will stand against this just as firmly as I’ve stood against Trump. This is rank politicization of the law. It severely undermines public confidence in the fair administration of justice. This man has no business becoming attorney general of Florida. https://t.co/bFqrA9HnLR
