Trump II as very specifically an effort to erase JFK seems like an underdiscussed angle. Bulldozed Jackie's rose garden, threatening to bulldoze the Kennedy Center, stripped the Kennedy blue off Air Force One, shuttered USAID, put JFK's animal torturing nephew in charge of reviving polio, now this

Good question

Americans are relearning the lesson we learned during the Gilded Age of the late 1890s, when robber barons ran the government and the economy for their own benefit: Oligarchy is incompatible with the common good. I'm hopeful we'll respond with a new progressive movement.

that's real weird because there were Maine Indivisible groups in your office every single day during the Kavanaugh confirmation repeatedly telling you he was going to do exactly that

Vivek is a sick, arrogant man, and I hope his horrible actions here will take not only a campaign-ending toll on him but also on the entire Republican ticket and leadership in Ohio, which has shown itself incapable of responsible governing — let alone moral governance.

Just 10 people have already poured over $1 BILLION into this year’s midterm elections. 90% has gone to Republicans. In the entire 2008 presidential cycle, the last election before Citizens United, total billionaire spending was $16 million. We need to get Big Money out of our democracy.

"I Believed American Healthcare Was the Best in the World. Then I Did the Math" Yale epidemiologist @Alison_Galvani anticipated a hefty price tag for Medicare for All. But she found that we are already paying more than enough right now to cover the cost of universal healthcare.

We’re gonna have a first time would series winner from a small market a month before the owners lock the players out over the sport being unfair for small market teams. Bless their hearts!

sociopathic shit

just gross shit people behavior

I am late to this post from Trump, but my goodness.

“The internet is a store but it used to be a library” hits me like a slug to the chest

the big chatbots hide all of this from you INTENTIONALLY to create an illusion to fool you and that’s why i think consumer-facing chatbots should be illegal it is a DELIBERATE trick. they carefully crafted it to trick people. it’s not “how llms work.“ the secret nature of it is a choice

Sen. Angus King says he sat down and made a list of everything Putin could possibly want from an American president. His conclusion about Trump? “This guy, this president, is doing almost all of them.” King then goes through the list. WATCH.

my most fervent wish is for every one of stephen miller’s fears to come true hound him everywhere he goes prosecute him any way you can sue him and sue his wife and bleed them dry until the end of their days

Says the lazy slob who shows up to work midmorning, spends the rest of the day watching TV, and golfs every weekend.

AIPAC's Super PAC spent a record-setting $30 MILLION in Michigan's Senate primary to try to stop Abdul El-Sayed. Now they're spending AGAIN to boost his GOP opponent. We must show them that organized people will always beat organized money.

I think a shocking number of our major societal problems would vanish overnight if you could magically pull the plug on the X platform and Meta, both of which are carefully designed to turn people into the worst version of themselves.

IMO, This is the whole ballgame. Money corrupts absolutely. Josh Turek: "We need to have campaign finance reform to get dark money out of politics. I want to sponsor a constitutional amendment to overturn Citizens United. We can have oligarchy or we can have democracy. We can't have both."

I just got the JeepWave✌️from a dude in a Bronco. Nah b. Get your own bat signal.

Hard to imagine what that would be like

When I said three years ago that egg companies were using the avian flu as cover to price-gouge, Fox News called me crazy. But new documents from a major federal investigation reveal the truth. Watch. https://youtu.be/aGa7YNNC1R0

Democratic strategists: Ahhh! What's the right message!!?? Where do we moderate!?!? Jon Ossoff: This administration is horrible. I hate these people. We should put them in jail. I'm pissed Voters: This guy is cool Strategists: I can't figure it out!!!!!

He said this. An adult human actually said this.

I'm so tired of the people who ask to be given the most responsibility and privilege turning out to be just the absolute weakest among us. Shells of human beings with no core beliefs, no ethics or morals. Selfish husks.

Of course Alito and Thomas dissent like the whiny pains in the ass they are.

the truly crazy making part of all of this is that voter fraud EFFECTIVELY DOES NOT EXIST. you have a better chance of finding an actual leprechaun at the end of the rainbow than of finding evidence of voter fraud that influences an election

This admin blocked $25 million that had been allocated for 130 national parks projects - like tending sled dogs and protecting prehistoric burial mounds. It spent $21.1 million in no-bid contracts on a reflecting pool and gold leafing two bronze statues. Priorities.

Can't believe it's been 9 years.

It’s really not that hard.

The Trump administration is a chapter of the Least Self-Aware People in the World Club.

The richest man owns X. The second and fourth richest men control Google. The third richest man owns The Washington Post. The sixth richest man owns Facebook, Instagram, and WhatsApp. And now the seventh richest could soon take over both Paramount and Warner Bros. See the problem here?

If you want to go to a trade school, great? Think college isn’t for you? Ok. But that’s not what this is, this is the government trying to do culture war social engineering while also staring down their noses at poor kids and preemptively deciding things like: I don’t want you as my doctor, next

if this is legal I've found a new hobby

I love Minneapolis

This is the same person who shamed Kamala Harris for supposedly sleeping her way to success. She can take a seat and STFU.

We're witnessing the culminating rot of shareholder capitalism in real time. Some of the most powerful corporations in America have sided with an authoritarian regime in order to protect their short term profits — the fundamental rights of everyone else be damned. Remember this.

The ag lobby really, really, really, really, really, really, really wants you to think AI is the reason reservoirs are going empty. It's not. It's agriculture.

This is one of those arguments that sounds like slopulism but is actually, if anything, understated. 56% of Colorado river water goes to GROWING FEED FOR LIVESTOCK IN THE DESERT.

This is the strongest statement from Mamdani's City Hall I've seen on the topic yet. gothamist.com/news/momentu...

If all income in excess of $400,000 were subject to the Social Security payroll tax, Social Security’s solvency would be guaranteed forever. We could also expand Social Security benefits. There’s no reason even to consider reducing Social Security benefits or raising the age of eligibility.

The gap between corporate profits and worker wages is the largest it's ever been. Wondering why people are fed up with the system? [Source: KPMG]
