The original sin: Five Supreme Court Republican appointees, many helped onto the Court by right-wing billionaires, open the floodgates for unlimited political spending. Then they refuse to police anonymous political spending they know is corrupting. This is the result.
How billionaires took over American politics
The current concentration of wealth is unlike anything in history. So is billionaires’ involvement in politics.

Relying on ChatGPT to teach you about a topic leaves you with shallower knowledge than Googling and reading about it, according to new research that compared what more than 10,000 people knew after using one method or the other.

The President of the United States just called for Democratic members of Congress to be executed. "HANG THEM", he posted.

If you're a person of influence in this country and you haven't picked a side, maybe now would be the time to pick a fucking side.

Most of us grow up with no idea what the pelvic floor really does, or how much stress, pain, pregnancy, posture, breath, and everyday life can quietly collect there. www.wired.com/story/the-pe...

Thanks to the GOP majority in the House and Senate and to the Big Billionaire Bill, people are losing their healthcare or their life savings.

Trumponomics kills.
Oregon retiree: My immediate concern is January 1st, 2026. My wife and I were paying $443 a month — and on January 1st, we will be paying $2,224 a month. That's a 500% increase.

Pro tip:

With Chief Judge Boasberg moving full steam ahead on finding which US officials were responsible for ordering defiance of his order...

And whistleblower most likely to testify...

Here's where this is heading in significant part:

Whistleblower Documents Implicate Emil Bove in Criminal Contempt Order by Chief Judge Boasberg
Email released by whistleblower would presumably implicate Bove in the “contumacious conduct” identified by Chief Judge Boasberg.
