Republicans in Congress extended tax breaks for billionaire corporations, but they refused to extend tax credits to lower health costs for working people.
While Trump and Republicans inflict pain on people, Democrats’ most important job is to fight back.
This deal is a mistake.

He is right. AI is mostly garbage. Development should be focused on areas where it can actually be useful (in science) and not in areas where it steals from--and then regurgitates-- human creativity.

The Dept of Warmongering kicked out all the non-partisan media outlets covering the Pentagon so we have even less of an idea of what the military is planning or, in fact, has already done.
Why did the US move 10,000 troops toward Venezuela plus ships & 5000 sailors?
Who is in charge? What is their plan?

"I taught at a place called Bowdoin College for 16 years, and during the last of those there was a student in attendance you’ve perhaps heard of. His name is Zohran Mamdani."

Vital piece of investigative reporting from Sky. They've uncovered the X algorithm which feeds users extremist right wing material from the moment they join the site. It is a far-right radicalisation engine, by design.

Cuomo's grim, graceless concession speech last night could've been one of his regular campaign speeches. (He again mispronounced the name of the guy who'd just beaten him again.) It made me decide to tell the story of my one brief encounter with him, days after he'd become governor. 1/3

This is his opening argument for why he should run for a third term. He will insist he needs to be on the ballot or they will all lose.

The Trump admin's announced that they'll pay HALF the SNAP benefits due this month, but that "is not consistent with" the federal judge's order, the coalition that brought the lawsuit says.
The coalition just asked the judge to enforce his TRO.

The only question I have about tomorrow's NYC mayoral election is when Cuomo loses, will he be gracious and offer to do whatever he can to support Mamdani and help New Yorkers who he claims to love so much? Or will he be a little bitch sore loser who blames everyone but himself? Stay tuned...
