They said one man could make a difference, and sadly, they were right. America, YOU VOTED FOR THIS.
Yes, we should have a lot more U.S. House Reps! Among other things, more Reps means less power per Rep, which means they're more amenable to the will of their constituents (which they'd have many fewer of).
The only sound I hear from Donald Trump is WAAAAAAAAAAAAH
"Just another day in a country being devoured alive by corruption and the shittiest rich people imaginable."

And what would I say to America if the next pandemic started because we couldn’t do without mink coats? YOU VOTED FOR THIS, that’s what.
A boycott of Everything Ellison would be relatively easy. Hell, I watch old *Star Trek* episodes more than anything else.
News just broke that Elon Musk made a $1 billion investment in the Ellison family's Skydance, which owns CBS and CNN. Anoher step toward right-wing "media capture," as I wrote about recently in my Stop the Presses newsletter.
Every word of this article is true.

Even *Consumer Reports* -- *Consumer Reports*! -- has stepped in it now.

All drama, all the time.
Once again: leave Facebook and Instagram. Now. They'll never learn until people leave them.

What a surprise to hear that Meta rigs the game for right-wingers! Meta won’t learn a damn thing until we all quit Facebook.
The president of Brazil has won a court case against Meta, after accusing them of restricting his posts and algorithmically favoring his opponent, Flavio Bolsonaro www.nbcnews.com/world/south-...
Taxpayer money to spread anti-vaxxer lies is exactly what America voted for in 2024.
Cf. Aaron Rodgers claiming he was "immunized" against COVID without getting the actual COVID vaccine, or George Santos explaining that he said he was "Jew-ish," not Jewish. America must love this kind of shit, because they keep voting for it.
Paul Krugman says Trump will destroy as much of America as he can out of spite if the midterms don't go his way, and all I can say is: America, YOU VOTED FOR THIS
