Please stop overestimating what a democratic Congress can do. The oligarchs are spending money to make you think a Dem Congress can arrest people and hold trials and pass laws without a POTUS signature so that you’ll be disappointed when they don’t do stuff they can’t do. Don’t fall for it.

Mamdani got into office and instantly: • Froze rent for 2 million New Yorkers • Cut subway fares in half for low-income riders • Fully funded NYC parks • Added $680M for public schools • Launched free child care for 2-year-olds If establishment politicians actually wanted to help you, they could.

The tech bros gave us crypto currency that isn’t currency, artificial intelligence that isn’t intelligence, and prediction markets that are inside-trader scams. On the other hand, they have given us gigantic data centers that employ no one and destroy communities. So there’s that.

Some of my climate media colleagues are suddenly hating on solar in rural areas without realizing it's the newest fossil fuel disinformation talking point aimed at getting landowners to stop leasing their land to solar developers. Y'all, we need solar EVERYWHERE.

NEW: Study finds attending a Major League ball game costs an average $225 — thanks to higher ticket and concession prices. Every MLB team owner is in the richest 0.1% and will receive an average $286,000 in tax breaks this year. Giving the rich more money helps no one but them.

Warnock: "I know that there are those who are tired of the remedy. I'm tired of racism. I think it's a strange position to be more concerned about the medicine than you are about the malady."

Finland gave every homeless person a house and within 6 months 85% had a job and were financially independent. Less crime, less hospital visits, less suffering and even including the cost of the house, LESS COST than the UK/USA method of abandoning them on the streets.

So much false equivalence in media on gerrymandering in Texas vs California & Virginia. California and Virginia maps approved by the voters. That's a huge difference not enough people pointing out

If Hillary Clinton had to testify under oath to Congress about Epstein, why the hell hasn't Melania been brought in? Certainly far more connections to Jeffrey.

Fire him now. Not a dollar more for DoD until he is gone.

FYI: Every airline ticket for travel originating at a U.S. airport includes a mandatory September 11 Security Fee that goes to the Transportation Security Administration. This fee, established in 2001, is currently $𝟓.𝟔𝟎 per one-way trip. Where is all that money going?

Just a reminder that in January of this year, Trump and Hegseth decommissioned EVERY US mine sweeper. Yep. Every. Last. One. Evidently they could never imagine a scenario in which the US needed minesweepers. In Trump's America, we are governed by idiots.

Let’s get one thing straight: We are not a Christian nation. We are a nation where you are free to be a Christian. Your religion guides you, not all of us. It’s as simple as that.

Lindsey is particularly blood thirsty for wars he won't be fighting or sending his kids to fight. It's all just a fun game of talking tough by a small man.

Wouldn’t it be better for all if doctors were jailed for denying healthcare such as abortion rather than jailed for providing healthcare.

Trump will absolutely not stop unless he is stopped. It wouldn't take much to stop him—he's a coward. But if those who have institutional power don't act, the current crisis will get even worse. He has no self-control and is giddy over the death and suffering he's inflicting.
