Eric Deters: "Kimberly Guilfoyle is a grifter. Kimberly Guilfoyle I have no doubt has done this to more than me. She's doing it right now in Greece. I know Corey Lewandowski did this stuff. I know Kristi Noem did this stuff."

Who's funding the dark money Third Way — we dug into most recent tax filings: - Republican-run insurance industry front group - Health insurance giant - Big Pharma - More insurance lobbyists ...as the centrist group fights the Democratic left and Medicare for All:

Let’s clear a few things up: Senate GOP don’t want the SAVE Act. They want to campaign on wanting the SAVE Act. If Cassidy was a no, Murkowski or Collins would have been a yes. It’s theater. If they thought they could cancel recess, not a single Republican would vote for it.

Uber Eats and DoorDash hid tip buttons and set default tips below 10%. As a result, tips for delivery workers fell 79%.  In January, we made these corporations change their apps — and in the past six months, we've put $104 million back in delivery workers' pockets.  This is only the beginning.

What a malevolent idiot.

Regulators have linked Mark McAfee’s raw dairy farm to more than a dozen recalls and outbreaks that left hundreds of people ill. “I’ve put a couple kids in the hospital,” McAfee said. “But here’s the thing: I’m a pioneer.”

The only thing I'll remember about Lindsey Graham is his mistreatment of Dr Christine Blasey Ford. Acting apoplectic at nonsensical details because he knew the most powerful misogynist in the world was watching him. I've never seen a man debase and humiliate himself so much.

Harry Kane admitting that he played golf with that cunty orange shitgoblin is good enough reason to not want England to win. Kom igjen Norge!

You love to see it.

The Houston Chronicle, largest newspaper in Houston endorse James Talarico! 👏 Writing, “Texans deserve better than Ken Paxton’s moral rot’… Paxton’s documented deeds prove he’s a man of low character, lacking integrity. An extremely very poor candidate for an even more powerful political office.

Half of all Americans die in hospice care. Easy money and a lack of regulation transformed a crusade to provide death with dignity into an industry rife with fraud and exploitation. (Published 2022 with @newyorker.com)

here is what i think: we're not consumers or spectators, we are participants with agency. you should not hope that democrats will do anything. you must work to force them to do the right thing. the odds are long, but we are far from the first americans to face long odds. we will win.

jamelle@jamellebouie.net

you know, when someone says something like "these are the things that need to be done to avert disaster" and your response is "you think democrats will do that?!?" all you're telling me is that you think politics is a spectator sport

These quotes will make perfect ads for his Democratic opponent! He's nuts.

Nehls: You have to love our country. This is what we gotta do. We gotta put a big bed sheet over the Statue of Liberty. She gotta go to sleep for a while. I'm not saying she's dead. Instead of having a torch, maybe it needs a stop sign.

The National Endowment for the Arts stage has a solo performer up there right now. He is playing an audience of one. He just urged her to follow him on Instagram. I have seen larger audiences at 8am academic panels. I feel bad for the guy.

Maddening. So many killed, now not counted as journalists? Insane.

Giving billionaires and corporations the green light to buy our elections. Stripping reproductive freedom from millions. Gutting the Voting Rights Act. Blocking asylum seekers. Making it easier for polluters to destroy the planet and make us sick. The shame of the John Roberts court.

Everyone talks about how it's a problem the president is an 80-year-old senile racist who makes shit up, but let's not forget that Sam Alito is a 76-year-old senile racist who also makes shit up.

I've been paying into Social Security most of my life, since I was 18 (I'm 58 years old now). This is a very real fear and concern for me, and for many family and friends who will be relying on it to survive. If this doesn't make you furious, you are not paying attention.

They’re right to worry. Hegseth is clearly resegregating the military by race and sex.

Kyle Griffin@kylegriffin1.bsky.social

Female Navy officers say they fear a career cap after Pete Hegseth cut women from a promotions list. Several female officers say they see the unusual intervention as a sign that their careers now have a ceiling and worry for the future generation of female military leaders.

Worth noting that Dr Oz has always been a shameless grifter, but it turns out he's a piece of shit eugenicist as well. Good job, scumbag. #DrOz #Eugenics

Guess who we have to thank for the looming Screwworm epidemic? If you guessed ’DOGE’ you’d be correct. Funding was cut to detect and monitor the flesh-eating Screwworm in Central America. Meanwhile, it cost $14.8 million to paint the Lincoln Memorial reflecting pool. #ProudBlue #ScrewWorm #DOGE

For the first time since 1966, the flesh-eating screwworm has reared its ugly head in South Texas. Farmers are sounding the alarm, but the tRump regime isn’t doing enough. If this outbreak spreads, it could devastate livestock in the U.S., driving up food costs even more. #ProudBlue #ScrewWorm

They silenced her for speaking the truth.

A young valedictorian at Clayton High School in North Carolina was dragged off stage and threatened with losing her diploma, all for speaking up for oppressed people around the world. They couldn't even let her finish. This is insane.

I know it’s a big ask, but everyone needs to watch more interviews and panels with CEOs. They are so disturbing and repellent but to really face the reality of not only the fact we’re in a class war but the nature of who it is we’re battling, and the future they are authoring, is essential.

Just sent out this post. US losses across the board fighting Iran, but particularly involving aircraft, are revealing worrying signs that US military efficiency is in decline and not what it was. The loss rates are many times higher than Vietnam and Desert Storm. open.substack.com/pub/phillips...
