The Republican president is a pedophile who has doubled my healthcare costs and let scores of violent criminals out of jail. But a Democratic mayor-elect wants to make busses free in a city I don't live in. I have never felt more politically homeless.

This is what happens when you don't tax rich people, I'm dead serious. You have to keep the money moving in rational ways or it all devolves to hustle

this is a good joke but this also speaks to a truth about 2025 America: the growing, horrible sense among many people that running scams is the only path to basic financial stability this is, of course, utter poison for human society

And what about when the price of goods rises and none of the other stuff happens?

Congressman Jared Golden@golden.house.gov

But if the price of goods is rising to facilitate the reinvigoration of American production and a transition to an economy that prioritizes domestic goods and markets, that’s a tradeoff we should consider.

The Chicago Tribune doesn’t have a great history on editorials about fascism. An editorial on Feb. 8, 1928, praised Italian dictator Benito Mussolini’s style of crime-fighting and opined, “We can use that sort of government here.” 🧵 2/2

We only know this man is in Gitmo because Noem tweeted a propaganda photo that included him and his sister saw it. He has no criminal record. He entered the US in January and immediately made an appointment with CBP to claim asylum. They sent him to a concentration camp bc of his basketball tattoo.

Brazil is the movie that basically called what the future would look like: it’s crass, materialistic, everything runs like shit, the people in power are authoritarian buffoons, and it sort of limps on despite the fact that it should fall apart.

In my latest piece, I focus on Elon Musk's work to shut down USAID and how it turns how we think of white nationalism on its head. He's not just interested in the populations in white countries, as we are used to thinking of. He is thinking bigger, and that includes killing black & brown children.

Sure, crypto literally converts valuable resources into valueless spreadsheet entries in a way that is significantly worse than traditional banking in every respect, but on the other hand it also circumvents consumer and investor protection laws.

This is the last full day before a right-wing authoritarian regime takes overwhelming control of our government. Do not comply. Do not minimize. Look for victims and help them. Keep the faith that people power can defeat fascism.

This never has worked - not once. Once you concede the the far right's framing on immigration, you're dead, because you can never serve up as remedies as vile or extreme as they can, but you're also saying they have the right idea. And no one will vote for that dead dog in the middle of the road.

Democrats' openness to supporting the Laken Riley Act comes as the party is recalibrating on immigration, after getting pummeled on the issue in recent years. Exit polls show it helped Trump beat Harris in 2024. How one Dem aide describes the dynamic 👀 www.nbcnews.com/politics/con...
