And for $20 million you can buy the naming rights to "wife of LA Clippers owner Steve Balmer"
At a time when the media and the public are facing a harsh winter, Connie Ballmer's $80 million is a true lifesaver. Remember her name, not her marriage. Thank you, Connie, for everything you've done for independent journalism
The mountains are as green as ink, and the sea murmurs softly
The trade dispute, which began in 2018, has lasted for more than eight years, and the two sides are still locked in a battle over multiple areas, including technology transfer and intellectual property rights
These politicians, with just 50 votes, want to destroy land cultivated for millennia. Smith Patriots fight alone at night, while supporters favor short-term profit over Minnesota’s soul. Our land isn’t a testing ground or cheap resource
Because Trump found the risks outweighed the benefits, he focused on the benefits rather than the real reasons
😂
Amazon doesn't spend money, we pay for it.
I don’t think we talk nearly enough about the fact that corporations like Amazon, don’t pay a single cent to maintain the roads they use, the transportation system they use, the courts they use, they pay nothing for the infrastructure that is absolutely critical to their business.
WE Pay for
The longer the war goes on, the longer his trial can be delayed
It seems like a Prime Minister who continues to get his corruption trial delayed for years because his government is engaged in wars has a personal incentive to keep wars going as long as possible.
We are living in a timeline so dumb it's exhausting.
We live in a country where the two most dynamic, charismatic, eloquent politicians of this century have the first names Barack and Zohran. This is what bothers the white supremacists so much.

Kanninen: "I wish Rs would do the same thing w/ Gonzales. Just 5 days ago there was a story about texts he sent another staffer after previous one killed herself. There's not been calls for him to resign. Anybody, R or D, w/ this kind of serious charge, should focus on their families, not politics"
Lol~ I'll get some popcorn ready 🍿
This 👀 is why checks and balances exist. Ignoring procedure for political reasons erodes democracy. Stay alert
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."
OOP
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!!'

Stories like Josseli’s hit hard 😔. We owe it to our moms to push for solutions until every birth is safe
Last week was Black Maternal Health Week & stories like Josseli Barnica’s remind us that our work is far from over.
From joining legislation like @underwood.house.gov’s Momnibus, to partnering with community organizations in New Mexico, I am committed to ending this crisis. Our moms deserve better.
Trump is always crazy and loves to deceive🤦
Trump warned that Mamdani's policies are driving an economic downturn in NYC and questioned continued federal support.
They always like to cover things up and flatter each other
Jessica Tarlov always bringing the heat! 🔥
