A reminder while Republicans bitch about Dems finishing the redistricting fight they started: they have full control of gov’t— they can pass a law banning gerrymandering any time they want. They won’t. Republicans aren’t mad gerrymandering exists; they’re mad that they’re not the only ones using it.
Starting a mid-decade redistricting war only to end up with -1 seats is the same fine strategic genius and subtle grasp of game theory that brough us the Strait of Hormuz.
A New Jersey data center will reportedly receive $77 million in tax breaks — while only creating one permanent job.
One job, in exchange for higher utility bills, noise pollution, and potential groundwater pollution.
Is it any wonder communities are organizing to stop data centers?
Tesla saved $400 million on its federal taxes by shifting billions of its U.S. profits to countries with lower tax rates.
Yes: While you paid your taxes in full, giant corporations maneuvered to pay as little as possible — and it’s all perfectly legal for them.
The system is rigged.
Let’s talk about DoorDash grandma and Trump’s ridiculous—and heavily ironic—photo op.
Peter Magyar confirmed that Szijjarto, Orbán's FM, has barricaded himself with some of his closest colleagues and is shredding documents related to the sanctions on Russia any other evidence of treason.
So glad to see someone so beautifully articulate what I think about almost every day….
No other president I can remember ever needed to announce a mass pardon for his cabinet & staff.
Because they didn't need it.
Cardinal Cupich: "We're dehumanizing the victims of war by turning the suffering of people & killing of children & our own soldiers into entertainment. To splice together movie cuts w/ actual bombings & targeting of people for purposes of entertainment is sickening. This is not who we are."
Remember: The recipe for economic growth isn’t tax cuts for the rich. It’s investment in our people — in health care, infrastructure and education — to build a strong middle class.
You don't grow the economy through trickle-down nonsense.
Yes it’s good Trump backed down from his threat to commit war crimes. But that doesn’t change the fact that the sick demented malignant narcissist continues to play brinksmanship getting nothing in return - on war and tariffs - while declaring victory and pivoting straight to more insanity.
This sums it all up perfectly.
Kim: Three weeks of the war in Iran could have funded vision, hearing, and dental coverage for every senior in America on Medicare. I mean, it just gives you a sense of the trade-off.
OK, do we need any more data for the 25th Amendment?
Hey Wisconsin folx. There is an election tomorrow. If you haven’t voted already, make it a point to. Looking at you ladies. They don’t want you to be Able to vote. All the more reason to do it.
Under any other administration this would not be tolerated. Under this one it is part of daily life. I don't have a word strong enough for my utter and absolute disdain I hold for everyone in this administration and in the ICE/DOJ/Homeland Security Departments condoning this behavior.
The real reason Trump is mad at NATO.
That one person can drag us into a war without consulting or even notifying Congress beforehand, or our allies, or coherently explain to the American people why this is necessary, is absolutely bonkers.
Reminder that Congress has the power to stop this.
Just a reminder that the senator who sponsored the bill which became law with broad bipartisan support that states a president cannot pull the US out of NATO without congressional approval was …
Marco Rubio.
Screenshot of a tweet by Epstein File Search stating that banks that handled Jeffrey Epstein’s money have paid hundreds of millions in settlements, with no criminal charges against bankers. The image shows a photo of Epstein with a news banner about a $72 million settlement for victims.
That's an awful lot of money for a “hoax.” Press charges against all those involved.
US-made land mines. Iranian civilians. People dead.
“Did Trump authorize this?”
“No comment.”
They’re not even pretending anymore. No oversight. No accountability. No comment.
Just bodies and a White House daring you to look away.

Ethnic cleansing in the modern era does not require mass executions or military occupation. It can unfold through policy decisions that remove people from a society by force, block their return, or prevent their presence altogether.

For Christian nationalists in the US Iran is a crusade. Unfortunately they are ignorant of history and so ignorant of the fact that every crusade ended in dismal failure. As an aside, most who organised/fought in the crusades did so to make money. In that respect, nothing has changed in 930 years.
“Every gun that is made, every warship launched, every rocket fired signifies, in the final sense, a theft from those who hunger and are not fed, those who are cold and are not clothed...This is not a way of life...it is humanity hanging from a cross of iron.”
-Dwight Eisenhower 1953
Just a random reminder that over 50 members of Congress collectively own millions of dollars in defense contractor stocks.
They stand to personally profit from wars that enrich these contractors.
Make no mistake, this is legalized corruption.
Watch how they vote this week.
The Dow is now WAY below 50,000. Release all the Epstein files, Pam.

Anthropic: hey we love that you want to use our model, just don’t use it to spy on US citizens at random, and don’t let machines kill people without human intervention
Pete Hegseth: fuck you
My thoughts on Stephen A Smith potentially running for president are:
Could we please stop fucking electing celebrities and get back to the business of running the country with boring people who just want to do a good job.
Thanks
