It doesn’t matter if gas hits $15/gallon, the stock markets crash, all our farms go bankrupt and everything is gobbled up by the oligarchs, republicans can always count on convincing 20-30% of the population that those different from them are hurting more than they are. Hate is a helluva drug.

Trump attacked Massie because he demanded what Trump promised during his campaign. Kentuckians abandoned Massie because he demanded what they voted for during Trump’s campaign. That’s how screwed up the Republican Party has become.

Any candidate who: - takes AIPAC money - supports Bibi’s genocides in Gaza and Lebanon - shies from prosecuting Trump’s unprecedented fraud - doesn’t go after the oligarchs for pillaging our nation - doesn’t address the corruption of SCOTUS, Congress or MSM …can forget about earning my vote.

What some fail to grasp is that billionaires went from lobbying for their industries to bribing Trump directly for their wish lists. Every billionaire alongside Trump is telling you that rules, regulations & laws don’t apply to them anymore. If you happen to get crushed by their greed, so be it.

Today U.S. Senator Andy Kim was pepper sprayed while visiting an ICE facility. If Trump’s gestapo will do that to a Senator, what do you think they’ll do to the rest of us?

HAYES on Albania protesting Kushner & Ivanka’s obscene corruption: “It is a land grab. A physical theft of a place so brazen and entitled it could only be done by colonial conquistadors or the family of Donald Trump.”

Data centers are asking just too much for too little in return. I'm pausing the release of any new data center tax incentives in Illinois — and I'm calling on the General Assembly to act in veto session to make sure data centers are paying their fair share.

This will be unnecessary once he replaces all TV talking heads with sycophants.

Greg Sargent@gregsargent.bsky.social

Pathetic. Trump is privately demanding his advisers find a way to reach a deal with Iran that TV commentators will compare favorably to Obama's 2015 deal, per the Atlantic. On the pod, @emilyhorne.bsky.social is good on how this perfectly captures why we're stuck: newrepublic.com/article/2114...

Then they got billions in taxpayer-funded contracts and regulatory relief and then gave less than 1% of it back for his personal palace upgrade. This is textbook corruption using our tax dollars. The scale of this would make any RICO prosecutor blush. Now let's see if the MSM does its job.

In case you didn't know Kiefer Sutherland's grandfather, Tommy Douglas. He pioneered universal public healthcare in Canada, showing that access to medical care could be treated as a right and not a privilege. His vision and political leadership laid the foundation for Canada's healthcare system.

If my math is right, the crime rate for pardoned insurrectionists is roughly three times higher than that of immigrants.

The NAACP asked a federal court to stop the U.S. Postal Service from enforcing a rule that could block voters from receiving mail-in ballots — arguing the plan violates a court-enforced settlement that requires USPS to prioritize election mail through 2028. www.democracydocket.com/news-alerts/...

NEW: The NAACP asked a federal court to stop the USPS from enforcing a new rule that would only send mail ballots to voters on lists controlled by the federal government. The group argued the proposal, which stems from Trump's executive order targeting mail voting, violates a 2021 settlement.

While families struggle with healthcare costs at home, we keep funding unauthorized wars abroad. Congress must pass the War Powers Act resolution today and redirect our priorities. No more blank checks for war. Retweet if you agree: #FundHealthcareNotWar

The House Armed Services Committee votes on the $250 BILLION increase to the Pentagon budget tomorrow. This money could provide Medicaid to 14 MILLION Americans & SNAP to 3.5 MILLION. Congress has the opportunity to NOT throw Americans under the bus for the war machine. Will they do it?

Roberts Court wants to create world where Dems have no legitimate chance to ever take control of Congress, there are no Black members of Congress from the South & no voting rights violations can ever be proven. Their end goal is permanent white GOP minority rule www.motherjones.com/politics/202...

Lying liars Cuba has a poverty problem in regard to food and fuel. Cuba is not going after the United States. It is trying to survive and thrive. They are very creative people. They are part of Puerto Rico, which is a colny the United States. They are part of our Latin American story

Marco Rubio: "Cuba not only has weapons they've acquired from Russia and China, but they also host Russian and Chinese intelligence presence in their country. So Cuba has always posed a national security threat to the US. They're a leading state sponsor of terror."

The Trump administration has removed all federal protections for the very rare Greater Prairie Chicken or Pinnated Grouse (Tympanuchus cupido), allowing oil and gas drilling in their natural habitat.

Musk’s net worth has almost tripled. Trump’s has more than doubled. Bezos, Zuck, Thiel & others are all exponentially growing their billions via federal contracts, tax breaks and rampant deregulation, while laying off thousands. This is the real crime all their other crimes are meant to hide.

This wasn’t a valid “lawsuit”; you can’t sue yourself It didn’t involve a “negotiation”; you can’t negotiate with yourself It didn’t end with a “settlement”; you can’t settle with yourself Always call this what it is: Trump’s wholesale ripoff of America so he can pay his January 6 thugs

"Bc the agreement is cast as settlement of debt owed to Trump, it should be treated as $1.8b of income, which triggers tax liability. At his rate, it could run into the hundreds of millions, and the IRS lookback period is 6 years. The next IRS director has the chance to do *the funniest thing* ... "
