So much false equivalence in media on gerrymandering in Texas vs California & Virginia. California and Virginia maps approved by the voters. That's a huge difference not enough people pointing out
Congratulations, Virginia! Republicans are trying to tilt the midterm elections in their favor, but they haven’t done it yet. Thanks for showing us what it looks like to stand up for our democracy and fight back.
Dan Schulman is the new CEO of Verizon and he is predicting 20 to 30% unemployment within the next 2 to 5 years due to AI.
Not a typo. He thinks 1/3 of people currently employed will lose their jobs by 2030.
(FT) - Lufthansa has cancelled 20,000 flights between May and October to save fuel, one of the largest cuts by global airlines as jet fuel prices double following the Iran war.

“.. Where we go from here is fairly predictable. .. The consensus in prediction markets is this will be over by the end of May, but remember: It took Henry Kissinger more than four months to get the 1973–1974 oil embargo lifted.”

These are the people the SPLC investigates.
The degenerate extremist scum that are hell bent on violence.
It was @ryanjreilly.com who grilled Patel in this revealing moment of self-contradiction during today's SPLC press conference.
"...it was almost inevitable that a weaponized DOJ would try something like this. Discrediting the SPLC is a way of retroactively rehabilitating everyone the SPLC ever exposed."
This is about exposing the SPLC's informants in right-wing extremist orgs and driving them out so they can plot in secret. The bullshit criminal charges are just a bonus.
The Trump regime doesn’t like the Southern Poverty Law Center labeling hate groups as hate groups, so it’s weaponizing the Justice Department to try to destroy the SPLC. This is DOJ taking the side of the Klan.
The theory of the case -- that the SPLC defrauded donors by promising to "dismantle" hate groups while secretly paying informants inside said hate groups, a tactic that it has carried out for nearly half a century -- is completely absurd.
Americans are getting more worried about having enough money for a comfortable retirement, because of rising costs and fears about the health of entitlement programs.

Shoppers accelerated their spending in March from February, but they spent most of their money at the gas pump.
Warren: "Will you disclose how you divest those assets, or will you just collect the check for $100 million from someone whose whole business is betting on what the Fed will do?"
Warsh: "Ethics officials at the Fed. Reserve and the Office of Government Ethics-"
Warren: "I will take that as a no."
GALLEGO: Earlier today, you told Sec. Kennedy that Trump never demanded you to cut interest rates. Is that your sworn testimony?
WARSH: That is, senator.
GALLEGO: Okay. Well someone here is lying then. Because Trump confirmed he pressed you on interest rate cuts.
Failure to answer this simple, direct question from Elizabeth Warren should disqualify Warsh from becoming Chairman of the Federal Reserve
If he can't display independence from Trump on what is an undisputed issue, nobody should believe he will disagree with Trump when dealing with financial policy

Retired CIA analyst Larry Johnson has revealed that Donald Trump wanted to use nuclear codes during a White House meeting on Saturday night. General Dan Cain, the chairman of the Joint Chiefs of Staff, stood up and said NO
This is the level of instability in the White House.
Tim Cook donated $1M to Trump’s inauguration.
He fawned over Trump and gifted him a 24-karat gold plaque (as Apple lobbied for tariff exemptions).
Apple donated to Trump’s White House ballroom.
And it removed ICE tracking apps from its stores following a demand from the DOJ.
Remember this.
The headline I suggested for this one was “RFK Jr.’s shifting podcast agenda,” bc it’s very easy to tell what his current career objectives are based on the contents of his pod.
Another headline could have been: “I went through RFK Jr.’s podcast back catalog so you don’t have to.”
GOLDMAN DESK:
“.. inflation data will be in the driver's seat over the coming months. .. a move towards 3.5% in core PCE (from 3% current) could bring about a serious discussion of hikes.
“.. To bring cuts back into the equation, the unemployment rate would need to rise from 4.3% back to 4.6%.”
