Education spending is defense spending. It prevents outbreaks of fascism, treason and disease.

Total respect for NBC's Monica Alba, who asked Trump exactly the question he needs to answer. By refusing to answer, and attacking her, he has effectively told the world that no, sexual abuse allegations do no mean a thing to him. Imagine if she wasn't there. We'd be the poorer for it.

😳 WOMAN REPORTER: Do sexual abuse allegations mean nothing to you, sir? TRUMP: Wait. Wait! Wait wait wait. Slow down. Who are you with? REPORTER: NBC, sir. But they are very serious sex abuse allegations TRUMP: Quiet! Isn't she a fresh person? You're a horrible little reporter, aren't you?

saying this till it sticks. The donald's mentor Roy Chon prosecuted Ethel and Julius. Then he read the neuremberg trials, co-opted Nazi political tactics creating mcCarthyism. Then he defended the mafia, made trumps sister a judge, and created the trump we know. it's a straight line.

THEY ARE NOT POWERLESS TO STOP HIM! Go back to Washington, stand on the steps of the Capitol and demand Johnson and Thune recall the House and Senate, and impeach him. THIS IS HOW IT IS SUPPOSED TO WORK! THERE IS LITERALLY AN INSTRUCTION MANUAL! (It's called the Constitution.)

Republican lawmakers are incensed about Trump's dismissal of Ukraine — and powerless to stop him. That frustration hit a new peak on Monday as they sought to address Trump’s decision to purchase Russian diesel, waive sanctions on Moscow, and potentially stop sharing intelligence with Ukraine.

The most horrifying part about this to me is that there's ways to do paperwork to prevent this, but poor people are not taught about it, we are not informed that we need to do this, rich people know all the paperwork secrets and they intentionally keep poor people from them

if millennials could afford homes this wouldnt be a problem but this is going to hit the generation like a truck

The Meta Oversight board has responded to Meta's overt election interference during the No Kings March by saying they need to work on things. Take that, Zucky! Surely we'll see no more billionaire thumbs on the scales as America decides if it wants law or billionaire whim to lead the nation.

Today in "billionaire owned media helps billionaires be billionaires".

SCOOP: 'Tommy' from the now-viral exchange with Abdul El-Sayed is Thomas Teepell, a former staffer for Republican Senator Josh Hawley with close ties to Christian Nationalist Sean Feucht. He's the son of a former Bobby Jindal staffer whose consultant work was instrumental in getting Hawley elected.

Billionaires help billionaires be billionaires to people who aren't billionaires.

Some content back up BUT NO administrative access for No Kings organizers Does Meta not think we are paying attention? Pro-democracy state AG's, legislatures & regulators should be all over investigating this--& so should a new pro-democracy Congress THIS IS OUTRAGEOUS

Shockingly, when you show the world that your space access systems can be switched off to protect sex criminals, the world goes and.... uh.... ...creates new space access systems. www.bloomberg.com/news/article... To get to space you need scientists and engineers. You get those through education.

I'm sure this is going to do wonders for the international arms sales that have propped up the half of the US economy that ain't sunk into junk. Knowing the preznit can call his buddy the vendor and the US-sold hardware goes dark so Donny Rapefingers can be Vlad's Employee of the Month .

"That no-one is aware of". Bitch, please.

There's a Politico (lol) piece entirely about how Republicans' hope right now is that the polls are all way off and they only get a MILD wipeout and first of all it's full of a bunch of nonsense but the best part is how it ends on this incredible bit:

I wonder how often the difference between anecdotal evidence which can be dismissed out of hand and an eyewitness account which must be treated as fact is the gender of the observer.
