So much false equivalence in media on gerrymandering in Texas vs California & Virginia. California and Virginia maps approved by the voters. That's a huge difference not enough people pointing out

still not over how we have confirmed proof via leaked documents that the SCOTUS shadow docket is a complete farce where the FedSoc justices get to unleash their unbridled political opinions and remake the American legal & economic system however they & their rich friends like

This Data Center Is Getting a $77 Million Tax Break to Create One Job No other project in the country has gotten such a large subsidy to create so few jobs, according to watchdogs.

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?

1. He STILL owns Epstein-created investments.
2. He admits they're morally (maybe legally) inappropriate for a Fed Chair.
3. But he's only going to give them up IF CONFIRMED.

Epstein was no financial genius-- he got rich off connections and grift.

♦️Why would a potential Fed Chair invest with him?

When the Oval Office becomes a stock tip line, it’s corruption in plain sight. We must continue to sound the alarm. Head to the Substack page for everything you need to know: www.adamkinzinger.com/p/this-isnt-...

um wat

Warsh hearing so far has been kind of frustrating. No one has asked the questions that seem most relevant to me:
1) is Trump's criminal investigation into Powell appropriate?
2) what would you do if Trump threatened retribution against you if he didn't like your actions/Fed policy decisions?

Almost everything we argue about is a substitute for the thing we should be arguing about: the immense wealth & power of an oligarchic class, which captures governments, ruins lives and wrecks the living planet.
This class redirects our rage at scapegoats. To resist its lies is to resist its power.

"Fossil-fuel generation fell by 0.2% in 2025, the thinktank’s latest annual review says, with wind and solar alone meeting 99% of the growth in electricity demand last year"

He only cared about ONE thing...how it looked on TV. Enough has been said regarding the impossible healing job...not enough said about the depravity it takes to kill your followers to make good television.

A hundred years ago, the U.S. had a nationwide network of short-line railroads that connected most urban and rural communities. By the 1940s, most of it had been dismantled ... by the barons of the auto and oil industries. 😑

You may disagree, but if the heads of our military don’t trust Trump to be in the Situation Room because he’s erratic, unfit, or dangerous…

HE SHOULD NOT BE PRESIDENT!

Simple as that. 😎✨

Tim Cook donated $1M to Trump’s inauguration.

He fawned over Trump and gifted him a 24-karat gold plaque (as Apple lobbied for tariff exemptions).

Apple donated to Trump’s White House ballroom.

And it removed ICE tracking apps from its stores following a demand from the DOJ.

Remember this.

Donald, after being told Air Force personnel were missing in Iran, had a freakout that got him excluded from an important briefing. He was't worried about the missing pilots. No, he only cared that a failed operation would hurt HIS POLL NUMBERS, as it had Jimmy Carter's. What a self-absorbed prick.

Israeli soldiers videotaped throwing a tied up and blindfolded Palestinian prisoner off a roof: 🦗🦗🦗🦗

well... THAT's pretty eye opening, actually, Mike, to just say it out loud like that.

Did that sound different in your head?

Wakey, wakey

I'll ask again, are we great yet?🤔...

This should be the official portrait in the Whitehouse!

Today's winner of the Internet. Congratulations!

Suspect dead after 8 children killed, 2 women wounded in Louisiana shooting The suspect, who was the father of seven of the children, was killed after a vehicle chase, police said. The slain children were 3 to 11 years old, authorities said.

This "president" has said nothing-- NOTHING-- about eight kids killed in a mass shooting in Louisiana today. Ages range from 1 year to 14 years. Children.

And they rate not a single comment.

I detest that bucket of filth and the way he's lowered the bar for all.

They have so many alcoholics in the Trump Administration, we should call his cabinet the Liquor Cabinet.

A young reporter discovers a mysterious trove of data that exposes a global surveillance empire In a major investigation, a young reporter uncovers a powerful technology used to spy on thousands of people across the world.

We uncovered a vast surveillance empire whose untraceable tech has been used to target people in more than 100 countries, including the US. It has operated under the radar for decades.

Until now.
