2014: Russia invades Ukraine.
2025: US - "It's not our war. It's a war on another continent."

Trump: I did something no other President ever done. I took cognitive tests. By the way, not easy…The first question is like what is this and they show a lion, giraffe, fish and a hippopotamus. And they say, 'Which is the giraffe?'

Massie: Previous presidents told us to go to war over WMDs that did not exist. Now it's the same playbook. Except we're told that drugs are the WMDs. If it were about drugs, we'd bomb Mexico or China or Colombia. This is about oil and regime change.

Undecided voter: “How can someone like you convince me that my vote matters”
James Talarico: “They wouldn't be trying so hard to stop you from voting if your vote didn't matter — Texas is one of the hardest places to vote in the entire country. That is by design”

I sat down with 20 undecided Texas voters on @jubileemedia.bsky.social’s Surrounded.
One of them brought up “welfare queens” so I told him the truth:
The biggest welfare queens in this country are the giant corporations that don’t pay a penny in federal taxes.

Think of what Rand Paul is saying in terms of the Voting Rights Act
Then substitute the words “Black people” for “Democrats”
Because Republicans-backed by the Supreme Court-have been disenfranchising minorities for years

Rand Paul on mid-decade redistricting: "I think it's gonna lead to more civic tension & possibly more violence in our country. Think about it: if 35% of Texas is solidly Democrat & they have 0 representation, how does that make Democrats feel? I think it makes them feel they're not represented"

All the threats from Trump and his henchmen to Republican state senators in Indiana failed. Mid-decade gerrymandering rejected. This is no small thing. Maybe some other Republicans will finally start to stand up to the Mob Boss.

Most young people are worried, as they should be, about the impact that AI will have on their lives and their ability to earn a decent living.
Our job is not complicated. We must make certain that AI and robotics improve life for all, and not just make billionaires even richer.

The New Deal wasn’t built on a promise that there would be “no ceiling” for the richest Americans.
Quite the opposite, in fact. FDR knew its politics could only work if he singled out the rich as villains and knew that its policies could only work if the rich paid their fair share in taxes.

The EPA will approve two new pesticides containing “forever chemicals” and relax a reporting rule for companies who make products with forever chemicals.
The moves come after a $60 million lobbying blitz from the forever chemical industry.
