Being a billionaire is the same psychosis as hoarding. If you replaced the billions of dollars with something else like dolls, or old newspapers, or toilet paper, it is easier to see how sick keeping mass quantities of something to yourself, that you can’t even use it all, is.

Himes: "I was delighted to hear that Tom Cotton, chairmen of the Senate Intel Committee, has been in regular contact with the admin. I've had zero outreach and no D I'm aware of has. So apparently we're now in a world where the legal obligation to keep Congress informed only applies to your party."

The end goal of Grok sexual harassment is to make women afraid to be visible. It’s a punishment for daring to exist in a way the perpetrators can’t control. There’s no one solution to this, because the problem isn’t just technological. It’s cultural. It’s misogyny. This is just one expression of it.

Trump: Delcy Rodríguez Might Be Next

every politician, anywhere, whose response to the US breaking international law is like “the legal analysis is complicated” or “I am not qualified to comment” instead of condemning it, is collaborating with fascism and is your political opponent, invested only in upholding the existing hegemony

BASH: There's no question that Maduro was a destabilizing force in the region. People are celebrating in the streets all over. Is it fair to say there's some benefit in him not being in power?
CHRIS MURPHY: What changes? You just heard Sen. Cotton not be able to explain who's running the country

Absolutely no one is calling for consequences for our own dictator.
This is depressing.
And I’ve been up since 4am being upset about the invasion so it’s time to go back to bed.
Sorry not sorry for caring.
(Also, a Republican wouldn’t be upset about this, so clearly I am not one 🙄)

That’s right, Congress. Keep letting him do anything he wants, unchecked. Keep showing the country (and the world) what total feckless pussies you are. Well done.

For the record, he was just as serious about invading Canada and Greenland to steal their natural resources too.
