This is just the maddest argument. These people would trap us in poverty to keep a decade old commitment, which no one ever actually made, to an electorate which no longer exists.

FLASHBACK — Republican Paul Weyrich (co-founder of the Heritage Foundation & ALEC): “I don’t want everybody to vote… our leverage in elections goes up as the voting populace goes down.” They’ve been saying it out loud for years. Please vote. 🗳️ 🇺🇸

Doctors might get paid extra to claim illnesses were caused by *gasp* vaccines.

Jake Scott, MD@jakescottmd.bsky.social

HHS wants a new Medicare code that pays doctors extra only when they attribute a patient’s symptoms to a vaccine. Vaccine critics say doctors are paid to push vaccines. We aren’t. Under this code, we’d be paid to blame them. My new piece in @cidrap.bsky.social: www.cidrap.umn.edu/childhood-va...

A useful thing that the OBR might do but which the government probably can’t: a nice long section clarifying the costs of the Iran war on the British economy and public finances.

Just out of curiosity, I looked up some US supermarkets on line, including Walmart. I could not believe the prices. All the basics (eggs, sugar flour) were around double that here but meat.... meat was stratospheric; around €35 for a kilo of low grade mince!

Off the charts. Everything that I buy has soared since I last purchased it. And compared to the UK, absolutely off the charts. And worse quality. Much worse quality.

Back in the US after a long break in the UK, I am suffering from total sticker shock after visiting a couple of DC supermarkets. I have never seen prices like it. Inflation numbers here are going to soar & are not yet telling the full story. The difference between late May & today is staggering.

So much for the myth that Republicans are 'good for the economy.' The only rationale for voting Republican this time around -- with Trump "on the ballot" (in his own words) -- is if you value bigotry and hate so much that you are willing to forego economic wellbeing.

Elon Musk is spending $445M+ to buy the midterms for one very simple reason. He's terrified that a Democratic Congress might finally hold him accountable.

The man running against Netenyahu in Israel has said that Netenyahu is crazy and that Iran did not have a nuclear weapon and were even trying to get one.

To be clear, evil billionaire scumbag Zuckerberg shutting down the official No Kings account in the middle of nationwide protests isn’t a mistake, it’s an assault on a free speech and expression, it’s pure fascism.

CBS deleted this post and reposted it admitting that their original one was misleading. And the misleading post from CBS was intentionally misleading, not an innocent mistake. CBS continues to lose credibility.

Trump went from packing arenas to being the punchline at intimate gatherings. I love this for him. Obama, no notes. 🔥

House Judiciary Democrats have just released a 50-page report that pulls together years of assault allegations against Trump and his reported connections to Jeffrey Epstein. The report calls for a special counsel to investigate Trump's ties to Epstein.
