And so a new form of government was born. A system that required citizens to yell at a handful of mostly elderly politicians every few weeks, demanding them not to doom us all. A Screamocracy.

There’s no one I trust less than Donald Trump and Mike Johnson.
Any deal that relies on Republicans to keep their word is a bad one.
Democrats can’t give up on affordable health care for an empty promise. Minnesotans can’t afford for Democrats to cave.

Good morning! AI is being force-fed to you by a handful of billionaires who will lose a bunch of money if they fail to convince you that you need it. You do not need it 🫶

There is something deeply broken about an economy that creates trillionaires while people get buried under the cost of living and 42 million go hungry. The ultra-rich should realize that my Billionaires Income Tax, aimed at ensuring they pay their fair share, represents the moderate path forward.
Tesla shareholders have approved a pay package that could make CEO Elon Musk, already the world’s richest person, the world’s first trillionaire. https://cnn.it/43KZnkA

Personally, I think it’s okay to feel good about good news. Feeling good is not a denial that serious challenges remain.
“Why are all these fools enjoying a sunny day? How can they allow the sun to kiss their ignorant cheeks? Do they not know the horrors of RAIN???”

Brand new data:
Republicans blamed for the shutdown (+12) and for health care premiums going up (+28!!).
These are stunning numbers. Republicans aren't immune from the pressure this creates.
Time to press our advantage. Stand for what we believe in.

Zohran Mamdani’s speech was historic. Perfect distillation of what the people need right now. Hope. Pride. Joy. Unity. Pro-active plans. No shame in our identities. And just a little shade for those of us chronically online

Prop 50 is a clear, direct, tactical action. People voted for it because the ballot was basically a big, clear fucking button that said: DO SOMETHING

The New York Mayoral race is a story of what the people need versus what the billionaires want. It’s a contest that is going to happen again and again in the coming years. Tonight is a great reminder that the people have the power
