"A tumor won’t up & leave because 2/3s of the Senate says so. A cancer won’t stop metastasizing because it loses Pennsylvania and Michigan and Wisconsin. No: the tumor keeps growing until it is excised. The cancer keeps spreading until it’s stopped with chemotherapy—or until the host body dies."

I hear from informed sources that these #NoKings rallies are more than twice as big as last time, making them easily the largest protests in US history. Thanks to everyone and especially organizers.

Sickening behavior by this agent. The fact that Mayor Adams has rolled out the red carpet for ICE is a stain on our city.

As CNN offers daylong saturation coverage of the podcaster’s funeral, I went back and checked to see how CNN covered Melissa Hortman’s memorial on 6/28, where Walz spoke and Biden/Harris attended.
It got about four minutes during the hours it was happening—less than Jeff Bezos’s wedding that day.

I still think the best idea for progressive donors is to just revive every alt-weekly in the country and staff them with 10 reporters each.

On Wednesday, Brian Kilmeade went on national television and called for homeless people to be killed by lethal injection. "Just kill 'em," he said.
There hasn't been one word about it in The New York Times or The Washington Post or USA Today.

Where is all this tariff revenue going? Where is the corresponding announcement for lower taxes? Is anyone asking?
$360 billion is equal to 17% of all income taxes paid by Americans in 2022. Shouldn't our tax burden be lowered by 17%? Are they just stealing it?

Americans paid a record $30B (or $360B annualized) in tariffs this month, as the costs of Trump's trade war continue to escalate. Tariff revenues are now up more than 230% from this time last year and still rising.

Expecting Democrats to remain neutral and be the voice of democratic balance while Republicans are openly bragging about blowing up congressional maps with shameless gerrymandering is pretty damn absurd.
