Overwhelmed by allergies
I float within my body
Bouncing softly on the sponge
Of my brain
Wondering
When will the trees
And mold release me
To feel myself again?

US automakers fear EU safety, emissions rules endanger tariff deal The European Union's unratified tariff deal with the U.S. is now in the balance as proposed safety and emissions standards affect big truck imports.

In The Netherlands in 2024, I was staggered to see 3 different Ram 1500 pickups in one morning. They were obscenely large against everything else on the road.

EU regulators have noticed it too. Now Stellantis wants the current US administration to lean on the EU to continue Ram's safety exemption.

Everything the Ellison family could own if Paramount buys Warner Bros:

Paramount+
CBS

TNT
TBS
MTV
DC Studios
Nickelodeon
Comedy Central
Cartoon Network
And more...

This is a rotten deal that the Trump regime has rubber stamped.

State AGs must step in and block it.

David Ellison will host an exclusive dinner “honoring” Trump next week.

It comes as he’s waiting for regulatory approval of Paramount’s proposal to buy Warner Bros., which would create a massive pro-Trump media monopoly.

What is he going to promise Trump at this dinner?

Hello???

Screenshot of a tweet by Aaron Rupar (@atrupar) capturing a Senate exchange in which Elizabeth Warren challenges IRS Commissioner Bisignano over whether tax cuts for Meta were paid for by cutting healthcare coverage. When Bisignano says he doesn't see the two as correlated, Warren presses: "Did you not follow that?" The embedded video shows Warren in a blue blazer gesturing at a Senate hearing.

She's so good at this.

It is not a conspiracy anymore.

The effective federal corporate income tax rate:

1950: 50%
1990: 25%
2020: 13%

Stop asking "but how we will pay for it?" Restore the corporate tax rate.

That is how we will pay for it.

Trump's infidelity pipeline

It's sometimes hard to determine which of many social interactions will have personal historical weight.

Why do we live in such a childish, stupid country? A country that wastes its money on useless billion dollar aircraft carriers, when it could be spending those tax dollars to actually help its citizens like sane countries.

A poem with too high a character count. It's OK. You're being spared my drunken Cape Cod drama.

Today is the 23rd anniversary of the Iraq war, Operation Iraqi Freedom.

It is an ominous sign that Felon47 is casually talking about boots on the ground in Iran.

He will be sending about 1500 Marines to Iran.

Jeff Bezos is worth $220 billion.

After building that fortune from overworking and exploiting his own workers, Bezos is now developing a fund to acquire manufacturing companies and automate them.

Why do we always hear about immigrants taking jobs when the oligarchs are actually to blame?

Tweet by Aaron Rupar quoting an exchange between Rep. Steve Cohen and Kash Patel about fired Iran experts, with Cohen pressing Patel on their qualifications. The image shows Patel testifying at a congressional hearing, seated at a table with a microphone and nameplate.

He was too busy partying to bother to learn who he'd fired.

So far the war on Iran has cost $25 billion.

That's $1 billion per day.

$41,666,667 per hour.

$11,574 per second.

Thousands of lives lost.

People don't want this. They want a living wage. They want healthcare. They want to be able to afford a home. They want their basic needs met.

Amid Mass ICE Arrests, Trump Pardon Recipient Juan Orlando Hernández Given Special Treatment After the former Honduran president was pardoned, ICE dropped its detainer on him, and he was whisked away to a luxury hotel in New York City.

Rather than turn former Honduran President Juan Orlando Hernández over to immigration officials when he was released from prison less than four years into a 45-year sentence, the Trump administration paid to transport him to a posh NYC hotel.
