The pedo party

Powerful words from @aoc.bsky.social. America does not belong to any one race, religion, or creed. It is big enough for all of us who believe in democracy and in our Constitution and in leaving a future that is better for our kids.

They said I shouldn't bother going to the Upper Peninsula. That it's Trump country, can't be won. Well, Escanaba would like a word!

I'm not running to bow to a corporation. I'm not running to raise your utility rates or help them do it. I'm not running so that your premium goes up and everybody looks the other way. I'm running to fight for you.

Rep. @aoc.bsky.social : “To see what Patriots owner Robert Kraft did to line up all the stadiums to censor speech in that one specific way… this isn’t just about one artist.”

Corporations are not people. Their money is not speech. They should not be able to buy politicians. End Citizens United.

Ahh, that’s a good morning….

El-Sayed: "Once a government agency like ICE is told it has impunity to do the worst things and violate the highest law of the land, which is the Constitution itself, I don't think you can reform or retrain. I think we need to start from scratch ... I think we need to abolish it."

Man finds a young seal tangled in a vegetable sack and frees it before the plastic could turn deadly.

“And there it is…”.

UEFA has given FIFA President Gianni Infantino an ultimatum: resign or face a no-confidence vote, The Telegraph reports . It says all 55 members would back it. Only 43 votes are needed.

Appalling cruelty — and all to fund more tax cuts for the rich.

There are dozens of actual far-right extremists in the House GOP caucus, people who have said and done racist, corrupt, crazy things. And you’ve never heard of them. Because the Times and other establishment media outlets have never negatively profiled them like this. The GOP gets a pass.

If this country was truly “pro-life,” we would have Medicare for All, a Green New Deal, gun reform, universal child care, and a living wage. The right-wing agenda isn’t about “life.” It’s about control.

Brennan: "Our CBS News poll out this morning shows that more than three-quarters of Americans want to end the conflict now, with 69% saying the conflict with Iran was not worth the costs"

In a head-to-head between Starmer and Burnham, one Labour MP tells Zeteo UK's Shehab Khan, the prime minister "would be humiliated." Read our new political editor's fascinating first report for Zeteo UK on Starmer vs Burnham, Thursday's momentous by-election, and the future of British politics.

Trump: "Without me, there would be no Israel ... I've had a great relationship with Bibi, but now Bibi has to be more responsible with respect to Lebanon ... I'm not happy with the way Israel has handled themselves with Lebanon and Hezbollah."

Jane Fonda just laid out how authoritarianism operates: war is a distraction technique to strip rights at home while focusing eyes abroad. Manufactured conflict is about power consolidation. If you cannot see through the blatant playbook by now, you are willfully blind.

Kenneth O’Keefe, former U.S. Marine turned anti-war activist known for his grassroots approach to geopolitics, his activism serves as a counter-narrative, intended to humanize the populations of countries that are frequently the subject of U.S. sanctions, threats, or military posturing.

Well. Now that we have resoundingly lost the war in Iran, can we get back to talking about the Epstein files?

Bob Odenkirk is a national treasure. Take 44 seconds and watch. www.youtube.com/watch?v=z0rB...

Yes.

Three years ago tomorrow, I very nervously gave this speech. I knew my career as a TV journalist was dunzo, cooked, filleted, kaput the morning I wrote it. (Thanks to Kat insisting I go for it anyway.) The end is awfully prescient at this exact second, though. Big ups to Scott Pelley for fighting.

Hawaii just enacted a law that effectively neuters Citizens United. Montana could soon follow suit via a ballot referendum. Here's what you should know about the plans to get Big Money out of politics — and how they could be replicated where you live.

2028 Presidential Race Rivalry Building Between AOC and This Ambitious Democrat: Axios #Mediaite

Buttiigieg: "Look, when you are this deep into your second year, if your reflex is to still be trying to blame the previous administration, it really shows that you are out of ideas, out of solutions, and unwilling to take ownership of your own choices."

Turns out Rocky was a pretty good name. The comeback is staggering. This will make you beam from ear to ear I promise by the end of the video. Next week is all about his eyes. Step by step 🤞

Tucker Carlson, who boosted President Trump on his podcast and at campaign rallies, has become a vocal critic of his administration. On “The Interview,” he discussed the war in Iran, the future of the Republican Party, his Nick Fuentes episode and more. Watch, read or listen.

Israel must release Zeteo contributor Alex Colston and the rest of the flotilla activists and crew. This is piracy:

Senate Republicans voted against lowering out-of-pocket health care costs, reversing cuts to food programs, and a measure to lower rising electricity prices in their budget blueprint. But they voted to give Trump’s ICE thugs $70 billion to keep terrorizing our communities. Priorities.

Criminals gonna crime. The most brazenly corrupt administration ever. They are not governing. They are looting - the Treasury, the American people - while most are struggling to just get by, pay rent, buy gas, pay for groceries. It's Us vs. the Epstein Class, and it has reached Critical Mass.

This is happening because one man, who vowed repeatedly to lower food prices on "day one," unilaterally launched us into a costly war that no one wanted. He's causing death, destruction, and chaos in the Middle East and Congress has thus far stood idly by.

Trump picked a fight with Anthropic. Now the administration is backing off.

It's good that the ceasefire is continuing. But Trump should just end this war for good. His strategy of compounding one mistake with another is just making Iran stronger and continuing to fuel a domestic and international price crisis.

Tesla saved $400 million on its federal taxes by shifting billions of its U.S. profits to countries with lower tax rates. Yes: While you paid your taxes in full, giant corporations maneuvered to pay as little as possible — and it’s all perfectly legal for them. The system is rigged.

"9 People Trump Once LOVED But Now Pretends He Always Hated" Zeteo has compiled a list of the president’s most dramatic fallings-out and the praise he'd probably like everyone to forget. But we kept receipts.

I am in Barcelona today to help unite progressive parties from around the world in a defense of democracy and a war against corruption. A first of its kind event. Necessary to beat back the forces of fascism.

For the first time, the World Meteorological Organization has highlighted Earth’s dangerous, unsustainable energy imbalance.

Researching extremism in the interwar period, I've found that a lot of the warnings about "fascism coming to America" weren't prophetic, but describing the mainstream second Klan movement of the 1920s and many of the fascist movements here in the 1930s. e.g. wrapped in the flag / carrying a cross:

I’m reading On Tyranny this morning. The connection is clear. Aristotle and Plato weren’t predicting the future. They were describing what they’d already watched happen. Ancient philosophy came out of real situations people had to navigate. We’re witnessing it today. #Stoicism #StoicSisterhood

Happy 80th Birthday to the legendary Tim Curry! 🖤

There was a time when the president inspired pride instead of exhaustion. I miss that more than I can say.

Iran fired at a tanker in the Strait of Hormuz early Saturday after reimposing restrictions on the waterway in response to a U.S. blockade on Iranian ports.

Child: I know your name. Mamdani. Obama: What’s his first name? Child: Mayor.

Khanna: "You have the pope lecturing America about possible war crimes. You have the president threatening to destroy all power plants. What have we achieved? We've created devastation."
