Russia is pure evil. Georgia, Ukraine, always destroying places and people.

Europe needs to take the money instead of obsessing about it.

The average SNAP benefit per month is $177 a person.

The average ACA benefit per month is up to $550 a person.

People want us to hold the line for a reason. This is not a matter of appealing to a base. It’s about people’s lives.

And working people want leaders whose word means something to them.

This is really good to see: Miki Sherrill just put out a statement sharply criticizing the Senate Dems' pending cave in the government shutdown, ripping it as "malpractice" and a betrayal of the people who are "counting on us to fight for them." Sherrill knows what drove her victory. Wake up, Dems.

Funny how Bill Clinton’s Telecommunications Act of 1996 institutionalized the process of media ownership consolidation. Thirty years later the job’s nearly done. ✅
Two of the four major networks (CBS, FOX) are unabashed right wing propaganda, and the other two (ABC and NBC, owned by Disney and Comcast) are corporatist

now the trump FCC is pushing to eliminate any remaining media consolidation limits, letting them merge

the Republican argument is that Elon Musk can deploy Starlink at a fraction of the cost of future-proof fiber, but Starlink is congested, expensive, can't scale, is harming astronomical research, is depleting the ozone layer, run by a white supremacist, and has largely nonexistent customer service

oligarchs are destroying what's left of U.S. journalism, replacing it with corporate-friendly infotainment and right wing propaganda, and blowing smoke up your ass about how they're restoring trust in journalism and protecting "diversity of viewpoints from across the ideological spectrum."

Modern American culture expects/demands immediate results. Good governance, good construction, good science, those things take time, thinking, planning.

Wrecking stuff is fast. You can show the results this week.

This gives the Break Shit/Burn It All Down Party an advantage.

It’s that simple.
