This is a phenomenal idea. Now, let’s get one of the “decent” billionaires out there to fund it to the gills.

There can never be another "water under the bridge" administration ever again, and part of that is going to involve shaming everyone on board with this one - voters included - as the disgusting pig racists they are

RFK: "There's five hundred million Arabs in the world. And yet they don't produce science. They don't win the Nobel Prize. They don't win the Fields Prize. They don't win the Wolf Prize. They don't produce literature."

Congrats to Lula on overcoming Mark Zuckerberg and Donald Trump to defeat Hospital Pervert Jr., even as his opposition literally blocked off roads and turned off bus service during election day. Fascists are scary but they are always, 100% of the time, ultimately gigantic fucking losers.

Lula winning is great for the planet, great for Brazil, and great for people who aren't revanchist assholes everywhere in the world, but let's not forget that it's also going to make some of the worst people on Earth extremely sad and mad. We should enjoy that, as a little treat.

99% of GOP talking points can be knocked down if reporters do third grade level research and pushback. It rarely happens, which is why it's so jarring when you actually see it 🙃

wow -- a squirming Mike Rogers gets flustered as Kristen Welker points out that while he attacks El-Sayed over the Muslim Brotherhood, *Rogers himself* defended the Muslim Brotherhood during the same period of time that El-Sayed did!

This is a wild take when we’re in the middle of what could turn out to be one of the largest and most catastrophic misallocations of capital in human history driven by billionaire groupthink that was caused by a shared misinformation bubble that they created on purpose.

Most billionaire wealth isn't in yachts or jewelry — that's just a few percent of it. Most is productive business capital: companies that employ people, build things, and fund research. Tax that wealth and you're taxing the businesses that employ us all. Cato's Adam Michel explains.

Trump: "You go up to Minnesota -- number one place in the entire country for the sale of Mercedes-Benz. And Somalians are buying them. They come here with low IQs and no money and they get rich. Do we feel stupid? Our fraud division is getting them all."

Elon Musk has hosted SNL and appeared on Rick and Morty more frequently that he has testified to Congress (zero fucking times). Fix that.

What can Dems actually do about DOGE? A Democratic Congress has a real opportunity to engage in the type of oversight that DOGE has avoided thus far. donmoynihan.substack.com/p/blockers-a...

Anyway, good case study here. You can be as evil as you want, you can kill as many people as is possible, you can shove churro ladies into vans then off to black sites in countries they've never even heard of, but if you can't do the performance of fascism — that's when you're in real trouble.

A foreman oversees his crew in Mettler CA. The workers are weeding a carrot field. It is intense, repetitive work that is very necessary as weeds compete for water, nutrients, and light. Thanks to these workers the carrots will grow straighter, healthier, and larger. #WeFeedYou

New working paper: the Norwegian wealth tax was a huge success. The "exodus" of wealthy people never happened (less than 100 individuals left). Tax revenue increased by 71.5%. No changes in business activity or investment. www.nber.org/papers/w35854

Mike Rogers is bought off — $5M from corporations to run his previous campaigns. He only cares about power and going back one more time through the revolving door to make another $14M.

“how do we win back trump voters in 2026” we don’t. we create an environment where admitting to voting for trump is so socially embarrassing as to render them completely inert. you don’t “win back” trump voters. you demoralize them into staying home. you make it a dunce cap

Reading has become an endangered species. Which is half the problem with American political life. Maybe more than half. If you can't read, you can't think. Then you can fall for anything. The idea, for instance, that the truth is fake news.

Sen. Mike Lee: "I won't be a bit surprised if President Trump decides at one point to say, 'You know, President Xi, let's go visit Panda Express and see what you think of their broccoli beef.' I'd love to see that happen. That's the kind of thing President Trump likes to do."

Baudrillard: "It is no longer a question of imitation, nor of reduplication, nor even of parody. It is rather a question of substituting signs of the real for the real itself... Never again will the real have to be produced: this is the vital function of the model in a system of death"

Or better yet, a burning coal furnace.

The sickness of locking thousands of five-year-olds in a concentration camp while screaming about the danger of a 10th-grade trans boy playing lacrosse is an evil that needs to be yeeted into a million burning suns.

One of the coolest things about people who don't have a lot of power taking a principled stand is it lays bare the complete cowardice of the ones who actually *do* have power when they fail to do even a fraction as much.

Unlike Macklemore, these support acts don’t have big followings and they are giving up their chance to perform to stadiums to push back against censorship, not of themselves but of a fellow artist. Respect.

There’s obviously a lot going on right now, but a Russian oligarch bankrolling the wedding of the president’s son is the kind of story that should dominate headlines in any functioning political culture.

The wealth and oligarchical classes are funding everybody from the GOP to the Democrats to the Far Right Tucker brigade. Sock puppets all the way around. If you’re serious about fighting your way out of this you have to recognize that fact and quit falling for this bullshit.
