Balls and strikes, baby

I love @rbreich.bsky.social but SCOTUS [disastrously] decreed corporate personhood in 1886.

I have to admit I was already aged out of watching SpongeBob SquarePants when this episode originally aired.

But my younger colleagues told me to watch this clip.

donald trump is giving a speech in front of an american flag . Alt: donald trump is giving a speech in front of an american flag .

Good morning!

Since Trump was re-elected, Forbes estimates—

💰His net worth is up $2.1 billion, to $6.4 billion

💰Eric’s is up 10x, to $400 million

💰Don Jr.’s is up 6x, to $300 million

💰20-year-old Barron is worth $150 million

And Jared became a billionaire last year.

Have a great day!

When Trump talked about ushering in a "new golden age," he was talking about a new golden age for his family's pocketbook.

Way to read the room. 🙃

This deserves MUCH wider discussion.

It's optimistic to see the TX Gerrymander as +5 for the R Party.

Dear Tucker Carlson,

Please draw upon your princely La Jolla Country Day - Collège du Léman - St. George's School - Trinity College education and your native intelligence and imagine where we might want you to put your apology... you punk-ass Putin shill.

Bet on SPLC.

The DOJ is now 123 days overdue in releasing the Epstein files.

It is my sense, as a longtime donor, that folks donating knew how the donations were being used - including the infiltrating of dangerous ultra-right groups.

So where's the fraud? (Or where is DOJ *alleging* the fraud occurred?)

You ever try to code switch at work and fail? 😂

He's positioning himself to challenge J.D.

He's another Putin lackey.

He can go to hell.

My money's on the SPLC.

The DOJ was created to increase the capacity for federal prosecutions during Reconstruction esp. those to be brought under the newly enacted KuKlux Klan Act.

Now the DOJ is being used to prosecute a storied civil rights organization whose central mission has been to expose & dismantle the Klan.

Look at this chart.

Tax cuts for the rich are a policy choice. Cutting the social safety net in exchange for them is a policy choice.

States like New York have an opportunity to help undo this trickle down nonsense by raising taxes on the rich (who will still be rich).

I hope Gov. Hochul does.

Washington was famously woke.

I (1) agree but (2) imagine it's hard to garner press attn w/ Iran war & other idiocy grabbing headlines daily.

This is amazing.

He's promised to take down the Jeffrey Dahmer poster, too.

Sounds promising.

Irony has a brainworm.

Fine song. Curious what you think of Morgan James's cover of it.

Overuse of pretrial detention in state cts is, of course, a massive problem (& shd be a nat'l disgrace). That's true everywhere,but worse in bigger cities if only bc the length of detention is so much longer.

At one pt (it's been yrs ago), I remember reading Wayne Co's was the longest in the US.
