7/7. It's worth dwelling on this point. It’s hard for Americans to process that their hard right politics is in large measure a Russian and Hungarian import — intellectually and also financially. We should take advantage of the defeat of Orbán to let this basic fact sink in.

A very happy go fuck yourself to everyone saying season 2 of Starfleet Academy should be given the 'Batgirl' treatment
I.e. shelving it and writing it off for tax.
Other than those twats, happy Friday!!!

Today I asked the top nonpartisan budget official in our government an important question.
What single piece of legislation has contributed most to the national debt in the last decade?
The answer? Trump's Big Ugly Bill—and it's not even close.
Happy Tax Day, New York. We’re taxing the rich.
Carney Graduated from Harvard Magna Cum Laude

Played for both school hockey teams.
His signature is on bank notes in both Canada and UK as the governor of the bank of TWO G-7 nations.
Carney is basically everything Pierre P wishes he was. #Canada
The head of a theological committee advising the U.S. Conference of Catholic Bishops said Pope Leo was “not merely offering opinions on theology" but correctly referencing the church’s "just war theory.”
We just won our trial against Live Nation and Ticketmaster.
A jury ruled in our favor and is holding the companies responsible for their illegal monopoly that cost consumers millions of dollars.
This is a landmark victory to protect New Yorkers from harmful monopolies.
What do these companies have in common?
-Block
-Citigroup
-Coinbase
-CVS
-Dominion Energy
-Disney
-Halliburton
-Hasbro
-HP
-Kohl's
-Live Nation
-Palantir
-Paypal
-PG&E
-Southwest Airlines
-Tesla
-United Airlines
They all paid a lower effective income tax rate than you: zero.

MeidasTouch host Katie Phang testifies in front of the Senate Judiciary Committee on the proposed merger of Paramount-Skydance and Warner Bros.:
"Democracy cannot survive if powerful people get to decide which facts are allowed to exist and what version of the truth they want to peddle for profit."
Breaking news: New York jury finds Ticketmaster/Live Nation to be an anticompetitive monopoly.
FINALLY. A jury says the truth about what nearly everyone in Washington keeps denying.
Now we need remedies that help fans & lower prices, unlike DOJ meaningless “settlement.”
Flour comes from a plant, sugar comes from a plant, and chocolate comes from a plant.
So, basically a chocolate chip cookie is a salad.
Thank you for coming to my
Ted talk
I think this is the most likely explanation for what unfolded after the fact. #DonaldJChrist
If you paid even a penny in federal income tax last year, you paid more than:
Tesla
Southwest
Disney
Live Nation
HP
United
PayPal
CVS Health
Palantir
Citigroup
PG&E
3M
That's right. They paid $0 in federal income tax.
It's time for big corporations to pay their fair share.
BREAKING: Elizabeth Warren has introduced a bill that would allow you to file taxes for free directly with the IRS.
The bill has support on both sides of the aisle, and would bring back and expand the free taxing filing program that the Trump administration killed off.
I'm a retired teacher, and I paid more in taxes than billionaires this #TaxDay. It’s time for our elected leaders in Washington, D.C., to make big corporations and billionaire CEOs pay their fair share. @aflcio. #SolidarityForever

Yesterday, the crew of the ISS called the crew of #Artemis2 and had a short conversation in between their busy schedules of research and documentation (I promise, to a scientist, that's more fun than it sounds!)
This was the first ship-to-ship communications ever to take place in space. #NASA
Just because a President announces he’s agreed to a two week ceasefire moments before he threatened to commit war crimes, does not mean he is suddenly fit to serve. #25thAmendment
Release all the Epstein files now!

The President is openly threatening genocide. A crime against humanity. He must be removed from office.
The 25th Amendment must be invoked. If not, Congress has to do our damn job. Speaker Johnson, call us into session. War powers & impeachment. Remove this man from office.
The President is threatening genocide and possible use of nuclear weapons against Iran.
It’s clear the President has continued to decline and is not fit to lead. The members of his Cabinet must invoke the 25th Amendment immediately.
One man put us in this deadly quagmire. One man is wrecking our economy. One man’s immigration agents have terrorized our communities. One man has ridden roughshod over our system of government.
We said "No Kings" 250 years ago. Congress must say "No Kings" today.
If not, they must be replaced.
I completely agree with Marjorie Taylor Greene is a sentence I never thought I would ever write.
