"Democrats need to break from this path and acknowledge that billionaires—especially those in the increasingly antidemocratic tech sector—are never going to side with them over the GOP." From @alexisgoldstein.bsky.social newrepublic.com/article/2087...

Does anyone else feel extraordinarily tired from the relentless bad news like a heavy layer of rocks laid upon your own everyday troubles.
I loved watching that! Splashdown!
Phew!!!
I suppose there’s a question to be floated here: if you knew Netanyahu was such an unhinged threat through two Obama terms and a Biden term, why did you keep shoveling cash to his government instead of leaking these requests to begin distancing yourself from him?
I used to be such an avid and heavy social media user, but it’s just not as fun as it used to be.
Everything online is outrageous in some way or it feels completely unimportant given everything outrageous happening.
Absolutely wild that given the climate of the world right now the only people to talk about the war during the Oscars were Javier Bardem as a presenter, the director of Sentimental Value, and the documentarians.
Truly obscene. Every member of Congress who takes their oath to the Constitution seriously should be seeking him impeachment now. He proves once again, he is the greatest threat America faces.
I can't even find the words to express how repugnant and despicable this post is.
People who spew such Islamophobic bile don't belong in the United States Congress. The job of elected officials is to combat hate, not fan its flames. (1/2)
Too many people, including some news media, let the truth be trampled upon without thought for what is happening to us and our nation.
Trump is the leader of the pedophile protection party.
Trump is in the Epstein files 38,000 times.
Trump wrote to Epstein about their “wonderful secret.”
Trump flew on Epstein’s private jet (and lied.)

When you think about it for more than 5 seconds, it really is both insane and outrageous that *HILLARY CLINTON* - a woman who apparently has never met with nor corresponded with Jeffrey Epstein was one of the first people deposed.
Oh, the hockey burn on #SNL.
U.S. military spending is set to hit a record $1.5 trillion.
Roughly half of defense spending goes to private contractors that routinely price-gouge the government.
Meanwhile, the Pentagon has failed EIGHT straight audits.
The military industrial complex is cheering today.
I love that we all know 90 percent of them will flip on a dime now, from “trump won’t send your sons to war” (like it’s only sons) to “trump is sending your sons to war and that’s good.”
After the arrests of powerful men across the world, you might be asking why the US has so much trouble holding its leaders accountable for lawbreaking. Since Nixon, all three branches of government have worked hard to ensure they can break the law with impunity www.theatlantic.com/ideas/2026/0...
Pro Trump, Pro Netanyahu fanatics Larry and David Ellison will most likely now control Paramount, CBS, CNN, HBO, Warner Bros, and TikTok
Every stage of this process - his arrest, spending a year in jail, being dumped on the streets to die - would be deeply shameful in a society that actually valued human life.
The richest man owns X.
The second and third richest men control Google.
The fourth richest man owns Facebook, Instagram, and WhatsApp.
The fifth richest man owns The Washington Post.
And now the sixth richest could soon take over both Paramount and Warner Bros.
See the problem here?

The greatest trick the devil ever pulled was convincing people local newspaper reporters are rarified elites instead of ink-stained wretches driving their Honda Civic to a crime scene so you know don’t have to rely on Nextdoor and the police press release.
Omg that was fun! #olympichockey #gold
Omg the hockey
If the Democrats return to the majority in either the House or Senate or both, and fail to take sustained and significant action against those who have openly flaunted laws in this Administration, they don’t deserve to ever hold power again.
You can joke about Pam Bondi’s ridiculous unprofessionalism all you want, but I’m deeply shocked by it: She acts as if she fears absolutely no consequences, convinced that there will be no more political power transfers. — This should shake everyone to their core.
I think it is fair to say that Pam Bondi crashed and burned today. She disgraced herself and her office (once again). While it may have provided light entertainment for her addled boss, it only revealed how unfit she is for her job. I hope she spends a lot of time reliving these moments. In jail.
Children ending up in the ICU.
Children trying to end their lives.
Children refusing to eat and drink because the food has worms and the water makes them sick.
Children held for 8 months or longer.
These are the kids ICE holds at Dilley.
They’re pleading to be let out.
Massive theft. And with it, a power grab like none other we have seen in our history...one that has effectively smothered our democracy to death.
