poor Bob seems to be showing signs of his age. Bezos has zero interest in the public good, the US Constitution or anything else other than MONEY.

Would think investigative journalist would realize that oligarchs couldn’t care less about journalism beyond what they can use for propaganda and stock manipulation

The Russians are helping the Republicans and once again the Republicans are accepting their help. This has become so normal everyone has forgotten to be enraged by it.

“One of the targets is Sherrod Brown, who is running against Republican Sen. Jon Husted in Ohio. The video, which appears to include some AI manipulation, depicts a newscast and includes a picture of Haya Akbik, who interned for Brown several years ago.” apnews.com/article/midt...

None of these are isolated incidents - they are the deliberate plan of big tech to garner their greatest ROI. Fascism is great for tech corporations.

Among things Meta did in Brazil was have their AI bot within WhatsApp allow users to generate election poster for Flavio but deny requests to do so for Lula. When folks asked for posters for invented candidates, AI tagged them with #22 - Flavio's # - in a country where folks vote by #.

In a joint letter to Mark Zuckerberg, ranking members of the House Oversight and Judiciary committees wrote “corporate censorship of political speech raise[s] serious concerns about Meta’s dedication to ensuring free and fair elections.”

USPS workers’ greatest concern about Trump’s mail voting plan was a requirement that they reject ballots for an array of reasons. “That’s not what we do. We deliver mail. We don’t decide what goes and what doesn’t.”

propublica.orgThe Untold Origins of Trump’s Plan to Sharply Restrict Mail-In VotingProPublica’s reporting reveals for the first time the extent of the White House’s role in trying to dictate how mail-in ballots are processed, spurring behind-the-scenes drama that played out for near...

Yesterday we brought the spirit of the beautiful game to life at the Cost of Living Classic, where New Yorkers came together for an afternoon of free soccer and friendly rivalries.

Last week, we celebrated Eastern European heritage at Gracie Mansion, because the story of New York City cannot be told without the story of our Eastern European neighbors.

Here's the thing: Any legislation that's worth passing will be vetoed by an insanely angry Trump, and you won't have 290 votes to override it You know what you CAN do with just 218 votes? Impeach

Acyn@acyn.bsky.social

Kamala Harris: I think that going in the direction of impeachment is not a good idea. I was in the Senate for the last go-round, and the votes aren’t there. I think after the election, we all have to just also agree that our attitude has to be to get stuff done…

The absolute unrelenting courage and tenacity of Epstein survivors cannot be lauded enough. They continue to be put through absolute hell and most of media ignoring each revelation is another renewed assault against them. The Pedophile Protector Party is run by a rapist.

Kyle Griffin@kylegriffin1.bsky.social

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.

That’s a staggering fact to take in: About 1/3 of U.S. counties are now contractually partnered with ICE—to say nothing of all the counties assisting ICE more informally. I wrote recently about what this type of collaboration can do to communities: boltsmag.org/frederick-co...

And we reached 1,000 counties with an active sheriff's office or other county-level agency.

Will Trump attempt a coup to nullify a Dem victory? Are you kidding? It's already underway MAGA moves against Rep. Omar, to nullify a potential Senate loss in Alaska, or to falsely claim noncitizens are voting are unprecedented... ...but also weak My new column www.inquirer.com/columnists/a...

Jeremy Lewin killed hundreds of thousands without a signed employment agreement.

WIRED@wired.com

Despite the agency's human resources department saying he hadn’t even been onboarded, Jeremy Lewin oversaw the destruction of USAID. It’s not clear he had the legal authority to do so.

You can do the same thing, buying a house and borrowing against it—ha ha, just kidding, normal people get taxed annually on their wealth via property taxes, the "you can't tax wealth, the economy will collapse!" rule applies solely to the super-rich.

Steven T. Dennis@steventdennis.bsky.social

For the fabulously wealthy, paying taxes is pretty much optional. They can borrow against their vast wealth, which is mostly an untaxed capital gain, without paying taxes. When they die, the capital gain goes to zero. And loopholes exist to bypass the estate tax too.
