"For the first time, a majority of Americans believe billionaires are a threat to democracy. A remarkable 71 percent believe there should be a wealth tax. A majority believe there should be a cap on how much wealth a person can accumulate."

Whatever spin you may hear from politicians, there are only two actual positions on healthcare. “Universal healthcare that covers everybody,” or “we must protect the huge industry of insurance middlemen making money off of it.”

HSR is a technology that exists and we can get good at building it through repetition. We don’t have to do things that have never been done before, like launching the world’s largest tunnel boring machine or laying track on a floating bridge.

My thoughts are with the victims of today's UPS plane crash, but they are also with the NTSB investigators who, tomorrow, will dig through half a mile of toxic debris to find the black boxes, all without being paid. Godspeed to them as well.

Cheney was the worst of us and the world would have been better if he had never lived. This compulsion to launder the war crimes, the selling of the state to private interests, the authoritarian groundwork he built, is a confession by moderates of their own complicity and guilt.

From 1939-1945 German officers also listened to speeches from civilians about how the laws of war didn’t apply to them. And then they participated in the Holocaust, starved millions of prisoners of war, destroyed villages and cities, and were defeated.
Hegseth: "We unleash overwhelming and punishing violence on the enemy. We also don't fight with stupid rules of engagement. We untie the hands of our warfighters to intimidate, demoralize, hunt, and kill the enemies of our country. No more politically correct and overbearing rules of engagement."

I don't think it's extreme to say that NATO should knock Russian drones & planes out of the sky if they cross into NATO airspace. Defending NATO countries from a belligerent Russia is literally the point of NATO.
