Seems they’ve grasped the true lesson of the 2008 financial crisis which is that there’s actually a ton of upside to creating a crisis so long as you’re also able to present yourself as the only ones who are capable of fixing it. In short, they’re planning to extort us.

I keep reading that there have been no public executions in the United States for decades. Not true.

Michigan Democratic Senate nominee Abdul El-Sayed told NBC: "We've gotta win by massive numbers... Donald Trump has already threatened to do what he did in 2020, which is to deny the outcome of an election."

Great explainer on new practices that need to be addressed by either current laws being enforced or new laws passed. Also a good example of the real motivation for billionaires developing AI.

Just a reminder that the folks who want to ban children’s books will allow children to watch a public execution…

Trump's suit appears to be part of Jos. A. Bank's Traveler line. The suit is listed as having been made abroad using a wool-polyester-spandex blend. The company describes it as having the "ultimate stretch" and was designed to minimize body odor.

Billionaire families have spent $1.7 BILLION on the 2026 midterms so far — a 5,200% increase since the 2010 midterms. Citizens United is among the worst decisions in history. It corrupts our system every day. Big Money is the root of our dysfunction.

The only way to take our country back is to use our right to vote. If ever there were a single issue we should all agree on, it’s this: Fascism has no place in a constitutional republic.

"MAGA is way more angry at Talarico for having the flu than they were Paxton for leaving the country with his mistress for the Fourth of July" Or for Tom Kean Jr. who was gone for 4 mo without a word to his employers Or for Mitch McConnell gone for 3 mo They were no call/no show to their paying job😡

If you ever wondered what it would be like to have a Russian asset in the U.S. presidency, here you go.

Tyrants are always the most comfortable when the people don't assemble ....

Zelenskyy: “This is a particularly critical time, when new steps are needed to prevent Russia from getting the impression that it can break the world and continue the war forever.”

🚨 BREAKING: The Pentagon has raised the official death toll of U.S. troops during the war with Iran to 21, with 865 wounded, weeks after Defense Secretary Pete Hegseth called reporting that the military had undercounted deaths “a complete lie.”

That's called political engagement and action. It's called voting for electeds who stand up for democracy and the republican ideal.

The term everyone is dancing around is "secret police", a hallmark of totalitarian regimes.
