Do republicans think they control the media to the point where disrupting air traffic isn’t political suicide? Or is it just that they wield all this power but nobody’s actually in charge?

The gap between teacher pay and other college graduates’ pay is the highest it’s been in over four decades.
Is there a “teacher shortage,” or a shortage of jobs that treat educators with the pay, dignity, and support they deserve?

Listen, Tenar. Heed me. You were the vessel of evil. The evil is poured out. It is done. It is buried in its own tomb. You were never made for cruelty and darkness; you were made to hold light, as a lamp burning holds and gives its light.

While vaccine policy is being unraveled at ACIP, let’s not lose sight of what vaccines have already done.
✨Millions of lives saved.
✨Diseases wiped out.

We made an infographic to show just how much the world owes to vaccines.

Trump replaced the physical bribery palace of the Trump hotel with a virtual one and it’s doing orders of magnitude more business.
NEW: A fund backed by Abu Dhabi will be making a $2 BILLION business deal using cryptocurrency from the Trump family's venture, World Liberty Financial, according to Zach Witkoff.
That transaction would be a major contribution by a foreign government to President Trump’s private venture.

Yet another way in which Trump circa 2025 is an even dumber and nuttier reboot of Menem in Argentina circa 1993, but this time with nukes, (more) Nazis, and existential stakes for the entire world.

A former engineer at Google once described Yarvin’s philosophy for engineering as “breaking an airplane while it was in mid-flight, and rebuild it while it’s still in the air.” Now attempt to do that with open heart surgery and see how that goes. He has a similar approach with politics.

I'm calling for an investigation into whether President Trump manipulated the market to benefit his Wall Street donors—all while working people and small businesses paid the price.
Did Trump help insiders cash in on his tariff flip-flopping? It sure looks like corruption.

No NYT, a Trump-Putin meeting isn’t like the Yalta Conference.
Yalta 1945 was allies who fought for years against aggression planning for after Germany’s defeat.
This is the US—which didn’t fight in the war—trying to help Russian aggression, pretending Ukraine lost in the field and has no agency.
