Van Hollen: "It's either murder from the first strike if their whole theory is wrong, and I think the weight of the legal opinion is they've concocted this ridiculous legal theory. But even if you accept it, then it is a war crime. I do believe the secretary of defense should be held accountable"

Some in the Democratic Party want to you think we must choose between social justice and economic populism.
Rubbish.
The only path forward is embracing both.

Walmart and McDonald’s are among the top employers of workers who rely on food stamps.
McDonald's CEO raked in $18.2M last year — over 1,000x the company's median employee pay.
Walmart's CEO pocketed $27.4M — 930x the company's median employee pay.
See the problem?

RFK Jr. is against vaccines that have been proven to be safe and effective, because he claims they aren’t tested enough.
At the same time, he promotes supplements and IV peptides that aren’t approved or regulated by the FDA or any other body.

RFK Jr. is obviously a dangerous fraudster. But he would not have the power he currently has without being aided by the Republican Congress—in some cases, by members who should know better.
I despise RFK Jr. but I also harbor a different flavor of contempt for doctors like Cassidy and Barasso.

Someone started telling us that empathy is a bad thing, but they want us to feel empathy with their thoughts and feelings.
So maybe we start to connect the suffering they feel to the suffering that others are enduring.

Creating a military conflict with Venezuela gives this administration a legal "hook" to invoke the Alien Enemies Act. In other words, the foreign war is being manufactured in order to facilitate court deference for its domestic mass deportation policy. It's a Stephen Miller Special.

Demolishing the East Wing of the White House before finalizing plans for what will be built above its ruins is a near-perfect metaphor for Trump's approach to economic policy. The only difference is the wrecking crew doesn’t claim the rubble is evidence of unprecedented growth.

A study by Dayforce shows 87% of executives use AI for work, compared to 57% of managers and just 27% of employees.
I think this explains the massive disconnect we see in how CEOs talk about AI versus everyone else. It also raises the question of how useful it truly is for frontline work?
