If you think a test for dementia is an IQ test, you have dementia. If you don't realize you have been given a test for dementia because your physician suspects you have dementia, you have dementia. If you think being able to tell a giraffe from a whale makes you a genius . . . you have dementia.

Some corporate Democrats and pundits think the party has gone too far "left" and needs to readjust towards the “center.” Rubbish. Where’s the center between democracy and oligarchy, and why would Democrats want to be there?

“I don't want to be a conspiracy theorist, Katie, but here's the thing. Mr. Musk has done this before.” Retired Lt. Gen. Mark Hertling tells Katie Phang that Musk previously shut down Starshield because he disagreed with Zelenskyy, then connects that allegation to Trump's latest ceasefire demands.

The same people making up claims about Abdul and his mom’s “ties” to the brotherhood are awful quiet about the fact that Trump’s dad was a card carrying member of the KKK.

Wishing a speedy recovery to Pope Leo XIV. He continues to serve the world as a much needed source of moral authority when many leaders, at home and abroad, are abdicating their responsibilities.

By executing Nidal Malik Hasan in broad daylight for the mass murder of 14 innocent adults, Pete Hegseth is himself setting precedent of how to deal with mass murderers for when he faces accountability for mass murdering 165 innocent Iranian children.

Add Karen Smith to my list of badasses whose mouthy approach I respect. Actions usually speak louder than words. This is a hero, Y'all. Well done, Ma'am. You're gonna kick ass in your new position. ✊📖

25 years ago today, the U.S. launched its war in Afghanistan. Weeks earlier, Barbara Lee was the only member of Congress to vote against the 2001 Authorization of Military Force, warning it would be a blank check for forever wars. History has proven her lonely and courageous vote right.

Hard to imagine what that would be like

Marco Rubio: "Anything that had a chance of making money in Cuba was controlled by the Cuban military and the Cuban communist party to line the pockets of a handful of individuals at the expense of the entire country"

It's strange how Democratic Socialists - who are being denounced by both parties - turned major deficits into balanced budgets in both New York and Seattle.

Amy Sundberg@amysundberg.bsky.social

BREAKING: In Seattle Mayor Katie Wilson's new proposed city budget being released Tuesday, there is no projected deficit through 2030. Given the state of the projected deficit over the past many years, this is quite an achievement.

25 years ago today, George W. Bush signed the 2001 Authorization for Use of Military Force into law. Barbara Lee was the only member of Congress to vote against it, warning it would be a blank check for forever wars. History has proven her lonely and courageous vote right.

The amount of Amazon workers relying on SNAP and Medicaid has nearly tripled since 2020. — while Amazon’s annual profits soared by over 550%. It’s the same story everywhere: corporate profits are at record highs, while workers’ share of the economy is at a record low. We must unrig the system.

Jon Husted’s Ohio Senate campaign just fired its political director after WaPo revealed he participated in this batallion that’s a replica of Hitler’s personal guard & used Nazi soldiers as his profile pic. This is grotesque—Republicans need to explain why Nazis keep finding a home in their ranks.

Uber just announced it will lay off 10% of its workforce, or around 3,300 workers. Last year, Uber CEO Dara Khosrowshahi made $35M — 360 times his median employee's pay — and announced a $20B stock buyback program to further enrich shareholders and himself. Textbook corporate greed.

Deregulation in the US will harm the most vulnerable first Disabled people who are extra dependent on the supply chain Those with food & med allergies who can’t easily switch brands. Those with food insecurity relying on food banks who can’t know if the food has been recalled. This is by design.

Going to be honest, after MapQuest refused to change the names of the Gulf of Mexico and Lake Ontario, we looked them up thinking we might have to print out directions like the old days. 😂
