“Come senators, congressmen
Please heed the call
Don't stand in the doorway
Don't block up the hall
For he that gets hurt
Will be he who has stalled
The battle outside ragin'
Will soon shake your windows
And rattle your walls
For the times they are a-changin'”

We’re gonna have to march.

Good thing this mandated reporting is going to disappear.

Tesla has reported over 1,500 accidents to federal safety regulators. There are 614 deaths related to Tesla vehicles, with 51 of these associated with Autopilot, including 2 with FSD engaged.

This cartoon is from 1930.

It could have been today.

If we weren't at such a weird moment in history, the collapse of Assad's regime would be widely understood as a huge success for the Biden administration, which pursued sanctions on Russia and Iran as well as Syria, armed Ukraine and thus weakened Russia, and supported Syrian democrats and activists

Right on cue Democrats will spend a week eating each other alive over the pardon while Trump keeps setting up the most unfit government in history to rip apart lives on Day 1 unfettered by a coherent opposition.

A tariff is a TAX.

The company pays it — then passes along the cost as a price increase to YOU.

So Donald Trump is raising YOUR taxes 25% — in January.

Leon wants to cut government spending now

When people complained about Citizens United, I doubt they even had this in mind as a possibility. One man, not a corporation, able to fund primary challenges against anyone who fails to fall in line. Absolutely grotesque.

I'm really not one to place much causal weight on legal decisions or overplay the importance of law in our political economy--but Citizens United will go down as one of the major accelerants of US capitalism eating US democracy

For all these massive reductions in federal employment that the DOGE boys want, there is very little conversation that some 30%+ of federal workers are military veterans.

President Biden tried to raise the overtime threshold, which is the point where salaried workers are entitled to earn overtime pay. It would have helped millions. A Trump appointed judge in Texas just blocked it.

Please tell me you see which party is actually fighting for the average worker.

Release the Gaetz report.

Pass it on.
