First time I’ve felt real hope as a progressive since 2015 when I was campaigning for Bernie. I really hope Zohran can accomplish his agenda.

People, the media, and politicians in the US hate poor people more than they hate billionaires, and this whole SNAP discourse proves that. Morally bankrupt country.

Spencer Cox: "Our nation is broken. We had political assassinations recently in Minnesota. We had an attempted assassination on the gov of Pennsylvania. And we had an attempted assassination on a president. Nothing I say can unite us as a country. Nothing I can say right now can fix what is broken"

Donald Trump is trying to end competitive elections. He intends to stay in power for the rest of his life. He is trying to make it illegal to oppose him.
🚨BREAKING: Donald Trump announces he will issue an unconstitutional and illegal executive order purporting to ban mail-in voting and certain voting equipment for the 2026 midterm election.
Such an effort would violate the Constitution and is a major step to prevent free and fair elections.

Arsenal will win the PL and/or the UCL this season (if they stay relatively healthy).
Thank you and enjoy the season.

The disparity btwn what’s actually happening in Los Angeles and the way it’s being mischaracterized is one of the biggest stress tests of modern media in recent memory. Botted socials, AI, old clips, declining literacy—it’s like seeing a broken emergency response system hit by a storm.

There's a real attentional trap that all protest movements face and have faced for a long time. If you pull off protests that are polite and civil, even if large, they will struggle to get coverage. Reporters will dismiss them as not newsworthy.

Incredible. The Trump administration calculated "tariff rates" by taking the US trade deficit with the respective country and dividing it by the country's exports to the US. And then the tariff rate of the US is often just set by cutting that made-up "tariff rate" in half.

Continuing to talk about referee corruption in the Premier League is exhausting.
Fans need to band together and stand up for each club that faces these egregious decisions.
Clubs should release a message and even go on strike if need be. Only way the PGMOL will listen.
End corruption NOW.

Consumer confidence down 30% since Nov. 2/3 expect rising unemployment—highest since 2009. Even the wealthy are worried: just 26% expect to be better off next year (down from 42%). Fears over job loss and tariffs surging. Inflation rising. BOA sees “modest stagflation” ahead.
