"[G]uaranteed income programs make people less desperate for money to cover basic needs. Not only does that remove economic incentives that can lead to recidivism, but ... [n]ot being desperate to take [any] job available may make it easier for people to find well-paid, sustainable employment."

Trump is within sight of an under 30% overall approval rating.
One of the most important causes right now is to establish a media narrative and popular support behind severe punishments and consequences to our present criminals running things.
After seeing the aftermath of Abdul El-Sayed asking Olivia Reingold what she meant by a Jewish state, I became convinced it's a question that should be asked more often. www.theatlantic.com/ideas/2026/0...

incredible stuff
A hundred years ago, the U.S. had a nationwide network of short-line railroads that connected most urban and rural communities. By the 1940s, most of it had been dismantled ... by the barons of the auto and oil industries. 😑
With the help of the Sandy Hook families, The Onion has reached a long-awaited deal to take over InfoWars.

SEN. @ossoff.senate.gov : “The faithless president depicts himself as Christ while he plunges the nation into wars of choice… Remember — While you pay more for everything, the First Family’s wealth is growing by billions. Because they’re crooks, and everybody knows it.”

Screenshotted excerpt from linked article reading as follows: "In public, Chief Justice John G. Roberts Jr. has cultivated a reputation for care and caution. The papers reveal a different side of him. At a critical moment for the country and the court, the papers show, he acted as a bulldozer in pushing to stop Mr. Obama’s plan to address the global climate crisis. When colleagues warned the chief justice that he was proposing an unprecedented move, he was dismissive. “I recognize that the posture of this stay request is not typical,” he wrote. But he argued that the Obama plan, which aimed to regulate coal-fired plants, was “the most expensive regulation ever imposed on the power sector,” and too big, costly and consequential for the court not to act immediately."

New York Times got receipts on John Roberts being like, 'I know this isn't how anything works, but a Democratic president is about to implement a policy!!'

The nepo babies that run the New York Times are suspicious that some other children of the elite have not used their connections to line their own pockets and they think we should all be suspicious too.
Imagine if the press that Hegseth is insulting took this sort of stuff as seriously as they took Ilhan Omar saying AIPAC influences elections by spending money
i think folks might be unfamiliar with "the pharisees", so let's make it clear: he's saying the jews run the press, and that they are conspiring to undermine the military. it's not just antisemitism, it's indistinguishable from nazism.
It’s an absolute outrage that someone so unreliable has been put in charge of the vital work of Female Body Inspection
my unpopular opinion is that we're better off with Kash running the FBI and we should hope he keeps his job as long as Trump does
DOJ demanded voter files from all 50 states.

My firm is 5-0.

When Bush didn’t know what a supermarket scanner was it was out of touch but not nasty or anything. This guy is just a perpetually resentful douche.
A reminder that trans people's 'demands' were 'can we have healthcare that doesn't take 20 years?' and 'can we change our documents easier!?'
That's it.
And we didn't even ask very loudly.
In response, the UK has decided to take all our rights away.
