“The hope of winning future elections” — it’s always about that, never about actually governing. Everyone in political media is incapable of framing anything outside of how it impacts the legislator, not their constituents

I wish the USA had respected Jimmy Carter more than they had. He was an amazing man. He was probably the most honest president we have ever had.

After watching Mission Impossible: Final Reckoning in IMAX, I am convinced the people acting like it isn’t one of the best in the series are just kinda disingenuous and miserable people. It actually has a heart to it and real prescient message on AI and humanities future. ITS ABSOLUTE CINEMA!!!

To all the rich trash that games the market, the hedge fund managers, and the private equity companies that lost millions and billions on the market after they pushed for fascists to take power and continuously destroy America to feed their dumb greed.

A primary goal of Mein Kampf 2025 is to completely dismantle ALL federal government infrastructure. If you dismantle the infrastructure of a democracy it’s a lot easier to dispose of said democracy and to replace it with one form of authoritarian dictatorship or another. Theirs is a theocracy.
And, WHY would they do this???????????????????????

We can't do broad tariffs without first investing billions into implementing expansive domestic manufacturing policy so we can produce our own version of these goods domestically. Our supply lines would first need YEARS to correct/onshore! All this does is raise prices!!!

the ADL thinks cops should be allowed to beat you if you wear a surgical mask
The Anti-Defamation League is making a big last-minute push for an anti-masking law in New York under the woefully and historically misguided belief that the law will fight antisemitism. This email went out to the organization's mailing list this afternoon.

jesus tapdancing christ what the fuck is wrong with people
A 5-yr-old burned to death in a sealed glass coffin of pressurized oxygen that an “alternative medicine” wellness center claimed could treat his ADHD. This was a cash business providing unapproved therapies. There is no evidence to support hyperbaric for ADHD; there’s not even a plausible mechanism.
A 5-year-old's death in a Michigan hyperbaric chamber has sparked calls for more oversight of unsupervised hyperbaric oxygen therapy in the wellness industry.

Elon Musk Shared, Then Removed a Post Absolving Dictators for Genocide
The post falsely claimed that Joseph Stalin, Adolf Hitler and Mao Zedong were not responsible for the murders of millions of people, but rather public sector workers were.
