We waste so much energy holding their feet to the fire to keep them from co-signing our deaths and the destruction of this nation. Imagine if they were our allies and freed up all of that bandwidth to fight the fascists and also spared us so much heartache.
Every few weeks we gotta make posts like this”call your dem reps to tell them to not vote to allow Lord Killdude to shove people into a volcano” and then the dem reps go “we’ve made an amazing deal where Lord Killdude can have his volcano so long as he promises not to shove people into it”

Hi, I'm the ProPublica reporter who's been tracking an unusual stat: U.S. citizens grabbed by immigration agents.
I did it because the government isn’t.
This is what I found.

Outraged by the Jan. 6 Capitol riot, a wilderness survival trainer spent years undercover climbing the ranks of right-wing militias.
He didn’t tell police or the FBI. He didn’t tell family or friends. The one person he told was ProPublica reporter @josh-kaplan.bsky.social.

It's been clear for two years now that Chuck Schumer lacks the mental acuity to continue to serve as a US Senator, much less as Democratic leader. He needs to step down and open a slot for someone from the next generation. www.newsweek.com/schumer-mino...
Schumer likely won't be leader of Senate Democrats in 2027: David Axelrod
Schumer’s leadership potentially stands on uncertain ground amid the shutdown and criticism from members within his own party.

Tech Billionaire Mocks Pope Leo’s AI Warning — and Reveals Silicon Valley’s Original Sin
A billionaire tech guru openly mocked Leo's call for moral AI — and quickly backtracked after backlash. It’s a telling collision of Silicon Valley hubris with a pope they cannot buy, bully, or ignore.

Rick Scott told me his plan would be to take all of the remaining ACA subsidies and redistribute them to HSA accounts and people can then buy whatever insurance a state certifies. Basically a repeal/replace.
He denied when I asked wouldn’t that create two-tiered system where sick pay much more…
