Sorry, but any story on abortion and surrounding issues that does not mention Leonard Leo and his six far right Catholic Supremes, misses the story. Ultimately, every issue, every decision resides w six exceedingly corrupt unelected Leonard Leo Catholics. slate.com/news-and-pol...

Neoliberalism is best understood not simply as economic policy, but as a project to restore class power and consolidate control over the economy. The top 0.1% of U.S. firms went from owning 47% of corporate assets in 1930 to 88% in 2013.

Our Great American Women deserve much, much better--in fact, the BEST--than Crazy Gregg Abbott's terrible policies. He's a very Anti-Life, very Anti-Christian, very Anti-Intelligence individual. He barely wants the kids to survive, or even their mothers, and when they survive, his TEA blocks smarts.

Moshe Feiglin, who said it’s “100%” Israel’s goal to wipe out Gaza + annex the West Bank, said every baby in Gaza is an enemy (not just Hamas) — was just elected to the Knesset. @DanaBashCNN @jaketapper Here’s are some others making 🇮🇱 intentions clear: x.com/muhammadsheh...

"Lord, we pray that you lift up Ken Paxton, a serial adulterer who constantly bears false witness, covets material things-- like houses--and disgraces your holy name with his shameless corruption, so that we may continue not to pay taxes and hate all the same people he does. Glory!"

40 Years Ago, Netanyahu Laid the Groundwork for America’s Disastrous ‘Global War on Terror’ The Israeli prime minister’s old writings from the 1980s and 1990s also reveal his long game for war against Iran – and how he influenced everyone from Reagan to Bush to Trump. zeteo.com/p/40-years-a...

The upward redistribution of wealth over the past 50 years has shifted $80 trillion from the bottom 90% of Americans to the top 1%. That’s $80 trillion that would have gone into the paychecks of the working class. The greatest trick of all is trickle-down economics.

With the midterms days away, Rahm Emanuel wants Democrats to chase wealthy, moderate Republicans. But new polling suggests the real swing voters are angry, working-class Americans who distrust BOTH parties.

Serious question: Literally what is the point of blue states being blue if their Democratic tycoons-turn-governors shield billionaires from tax hikes as millions are thrown off healthcare? Isn't the point of voting blue supposed to be electing Dem leaders who don't just do what Republicans do?

NEW: @rahmemanuel.bsky.social's new plan is a way for his fellow millionaires to win, and for Dems to keep losing forever. To justify their donors' agenda, Corporate Dems punch left and pretend key swing voters are a handful of rich country-club Republicans rather than the enraged working class.

levernews.comRahm Emanuel’s Plan Is Exactly How Dems Will Keep LosingDesperate to cast a do-nothing, pro-oligarch agenda as good politics, Democratic elites pretend the key swing vote is country-club Republicans rather than enraged working-class voters.

Some corporate Democrats and pundits think the party has gone too far "left" and needs to readjust towards the “center.” Rubbish. Where’s the center between democracy and oligarchy, and why would Democrats want to be there?

This is what it looks like when billionaires and their lapdogs order journalists to capitulate to power, rather than hold it to account.

Of course Bari Weiss has pushed CBS reporters to pursue the James Talarico was in a mental hospital and Abdul El-Sayed is tied to the Muslim Brotherhoid stories. Of course she has. www.semafor.com/article/10/1...

John Roberts’ greatest hits: 2010: votes to let unlimited corporate money flood our elections 2013: guts the Voting Rights Act 2024: hands presidents immunity for official acts That’s not a judge. That’s a demolition crew with a lifetime contract.

What John Roberts wrote: “The President is not above the law.” What John Roberts did, in the same ruling: gave presidents immunity from prosecution for official acts. Most people don’t know Congress can impeach a chief justice. Spread it.
