Medicare for All would save $450B a year.
Every dollar spent on food stamps generates $1.50-$1.80 in economic activity.
Each dollar going to low-wage workers adds $1.20 to the economy overall.
It’s not about what this country can or can’t afford.
It’s about priorities.

Food insecurity is ALWAYS a political choice. Famine is ALWAYS manmade. People go hungry because of other people’s decisions. We have more than enough food for everyone, and enormous amounts of it are wasted—literally thrown in the garbage—on purpose.

Die Mehrheit der Deutschen glaubt nicht, dass Merz ein geeigneter Kanzler ist. Wähler und Mitglieder der Union fühlen sich belogen. Die Grünen, deren Stimmen er so dringend braucht, glauben ihm nicht weiter, als sie ihn werfen können - Vor-Kanzler Merz ist das personifizierte Glaubwürdigkeitsproblem

Elon Musk Shared, Then Deleted X Post Absolving Hitler, Stalin and Mao of 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.

Trump can call me names but the truth remains. He is an unhinged wanna be dictator who is angry that I beat him in court and won't cower in fear. Now he is weaponizing the federal government against his political opponents.
I will not back down.
I will not bow or scrape.
I will never obey.

Trump name-checks Marc Elias and says he tried to turn American into a communist nation (big, if true)

It iswith a heavy heart that I mourn the loss of my friend, Rep. Raúl M. Grijalva, a dedicated advocate for environmental resiliency. His contributions to the Democratic Caucus and positive impact will continue to inspire us. My thoughts are with his family, friends, loved ones, and his staff.

one thing i keep thinking about is how there is simply no way to design a constitutional system that can resist authoritarian incursion if participants in that system do not actually care that much

Perhaps the most depressing part about the last couple of months is that every awful shitty thing that’s happening to this country is self-induced. People asked for this. None of it had to happen.

Ukraine agreed to a US proposal for 30-day ceasefire, in turn the US agreed to lift the suspension on intelligence sharing and resume weapons shipments. Russia state Duma declared it doesn’t agree to a ceasefire. But if someone lifts some of their sanctions, they’d think about it.
