ANYONE in Congress, from either party, receiving ANY funding from AIPAC, the Heritage Foundation or any of the oligarchs, should be tossed at the first opportunity.

Whenever we're out of this shit the Consumer Financial Protection Bureau should be built into an absolutely nightmare bureaucratic goliath. Increase the original funding by a million times and hire thousands of staffers trying to fuck shit up for business.

Doomerism in January was cowardly preemptive surrender, but done at a time when the future was unknown.

Doomerism in December is still cowardly preemptive surrender, but now also requires ignoring all the non-doomer things that have happened over the year.
I’m not gonna dunk on some small depressed account, but one reply I get to this is “you think there’s gonna be elections/Trump will listen to judges??” And I wonder how people haven’t noticed that Garcia is home and free and Republicans got crushed in elections this year

Trump's revolution will fail, but we still have a long and painful road ahead of us.

For a GOP president—after the Iraq War—to say outright that invading Venezuela is all about oil is wild. But it is. It’s also about corruption, power, graft, and land. And we should take him at his word.

David Brooks, who wrote in the NYT last month, "The Epstein Story? Count Me Out" is... in the latest Epstein photo dump published by @oversightdemocrats.house.gov.

He should absolutely be fired by NYT for this. Major conflict of interest that he didn't disclose.

The Trump administration is proposing to almost double what’s considered safe exposure levels to formaldehyde, a cancer-causing chemical found in many consumer products, as part of a broader overhaul of its approach to regulating carcinogens.
Starting With Formaldehyde, Trump Administration Reassesses Chemical Risks
A draft memo from the E.P.A. assumes a safe threshold exists for formaldehyde, upending earlier findings that there is no safe level of exposure to the carcinogen.

Also, most importantly: It was an attempt to overthrow the democratically elected government of the United States.
Reminder about Jan 6:

It was a horror
140+ police were injured
A range of violent weapons were used by attackers

Congratulations to Justin Crosby (D) on his election victory in Mississippi CD22 — he flipped the newly redrawn seat by defeating the incumbent with approximately 53 % of the vote.

This win is part of a broader shift after court-ordered map revisions aimed at increasing majority-Black districts.
