The richest man on earth dropped nearly $300 million to buy himself a Congress. That’s not democracy. That’s a purchase order. On November 3, remind him the government isn’t for sale.

Ball buster.

Sound advice.

By vote to 47 to 51, with John Fetterman siding with the Republicans, the US Senate officially declared it was perfectly fine with Israel murdering nine Americans, and it had no interest in demanding any explanation for the murders. www.theguardian.com/us-news/2026...

Trump’s press grievances are based in their refusal to do propaganda www.mediamatters.org/donald-trump...

A sad day today for us SF Giants fans as one of the best baseball broadcasters ever, Mike Krukow, called his last game. He and partner Duane Kuiper will certainly be inducted into the broadcasters Hall of Fame.

I said this in 2018. Trump’s continuing betrayal of our beloved country is more unforgivable now.

Corporations are not people. Their money is not speech. They should not be able to buy politicians. End Citizens United.

Look at this loathsome repulsive creature yelling at a reporter. In addition to the fact that he’s the worst president in US history, he’s one of the worst human beings on planet earth. His supporters have a very serious defect in their character.

On Labor Day let's remember the men & women who wake up before the sun and work through the heat, rain and more to put food on our tables. Their work deserves fair wages, safe working conditions, dignity and a voice on the job. This #LaborDay stand with farm workers. #WeFeedYou

California is creating jobs 3x faster than America as a whole and contributing nearly 1 in 6 jobs added nationwide this year. Fox News and the right-wing trolls are rooting for California to fail, but we keep DOMINATING. We have no peers.

President Donald Trump’s personal travel routine has generated an estimated $70.8M in taxpayer costs this year, and projections based on federal audit data show the total could exceed $300M if the pattern continues. theintellectualistofficial.substack.com/p/trumps-gol...

Just think of how sick, twisted and demented you have to be to post this as president knowing it is all a lie because you don’t want to admit you hired an unqualified pool guy - the act of typing this knowing that every word is false.

Lindsey Graham was a simple, tragic man to understand. He lacked a moral core. The great empty spaces of his life were filled with an insatiable need for “relevance.” He found it as a cast member in the most malignant reality show ever made. steveschmidt.substack.com/p/lindsey-kn...

They were just sleeping peacefully in their home last night. russian war criminals murdered this innocent family with a missile. These horrific images are impossible to look at — but everyone needs to. As a reminder why russia and their inhumane crimes must be stopped.

Rupert Murdoch throws an apoplectic fit

The Iran War has already eclipsed the supposed savings from DOGE's ill-considered cuts to USAID. And that's just considering the direct costs of the war. Cutting government waste takes time and discipline, not reckless dismantling of life-saving global health programs.

Trade of the year... Equal-weight tech blowing the doors off the hyperscaler stocks. These are the companies selling what the data center builders are buying. Shows no sign of slowing down. www.downtownjoshbrown.com/p/new-world-...

Reminder as you're traveling this summer: Trump reversed a rule that required airlines to automatically refund you with CASH—not vouchers, not points—for canceled or severely delayed flights. (United Airlines and Delta Airlines each gave $1 million to Trump’s inauguration fund.)

Trump wants his personal attorney and the guy covering up the Epstein Files to be America's top cop. The corruption and self-dealing are off the charts.

@nycsanitation.bsky.social I’d like to report a sweep

The Strait of Hormuz is opening

More than 3,700 trades by Trump, many of which appear carefully timed to take advantage of decisions by his administration which could be expected to impact the value of the stock—Palantir is a notable one. www.bloomberg.com/news/article...

“Make no mistake about it: Corporate lobbyists are horrified that Steyer might become California’s governor.”

The richest Americans saw their net worth soar 120% from 2017 to 2025. The top 1% now control $55.8 trillion in assets — more than the G.D.P. of the United States and China combined. Meanwhile, millions of Americans live paycheck to paycheck. Still wondering if inequality is out of control?

Wherever you look, EV dominance is obvious. Not hype. Just maths. A 5-year U.S. comparison (UP.FIT): Model Y patrol ~$19k vs gas interceptor ~$84k. Fuel: ~$62k vs ~$10k Maintenance: ~$21k vs ~$9.7k Same job. Different cost structure. Cost always wins. #Bettrification

Good morning! Since Trump was re-elected, Forbes estimates— 💰His net worth is up $2 billion, to $6.3 billion 💰Eric’s is up 10x, to $400 million 💰Don Jr.’s is up 6x, to $300 million 💰20-year-old Barron is worth $150 million And Jared became a billionaire last year. Have a great day!

Good stuff. Such excellent news for someone who deserves to thoroughly enjoy his work. Will never forget that he and his top notch writers kept America laughing during times when it was hard to crack a smile. 👏👏 apnews.com/article/step... AP News

Immigrants pay more into the system than they receive in benefits. Stephen Miller is lying because he is deeply impure of heart. The real reason debt/GDP is going up is because of the Bush and Trump tax cuts. Without them, we’d have enough revenue to support our aging population indefinitely.
