What Aristotle Knew About Oligarchy That We Forgot
How do the wealthy few come to rule, and why does it matter? Aristotle tackled these questions 2300 years ago, and his answers are still eye-opening today.

The Nazi Huntington Beach CA City Council has removed “Everyone Poops” from school libraries, because it was deemed “too sexual.”
If you think pooping is “sexual” or teaching a kid it’s ok to poop, you might be the one with the sexuality problem.

You deserve senators that take their article two section two responsibility seriously
Tommy Tuberville tells CNN that he doesn't think Republican senators should really vet Trump's nominees at all because Trump did it for them

Mace had her staffers running around the Capitol today looking for a bullhorn. Wasn’t sure why. Now we know.

People hate health insurance companies with a passion. They’re not laughing because someone died—they’re laughing because the system that crushed them finally took a hit.

Biden must provide pardons for all who served on the J6 committee!
That said, why wasn’t Jim held in contempt for not complying with his f’king subpoena? He’s so detestable!

This piece is very powerful
OK sports fans, so this is my last bulletin for my position at @losangelestimes.bsky.social. I resigned yesterday in protest of the paper's and owner's cozying up to Trump. Here's my explanation on my substack, where I hope you will follow me going forward.

Today, #KashPatel sent a letter to my counsel @markzaidesq.bsky.social threatening to sue & demanding I retract my MSNBC comments on his unfitness to serve as FBI Director. This follows his threats against media & political opponents, showing how he might act if confirmed. I stand by my statements.
