Today I spent $15 on avocado toast. Do my mortgage rates just go up immediately, or how does this work?

Republican Elite: we are sticking with our plan to cut taxes for rich, raise taxes for working families & undermine basic safety net, terrorize everyone, and steal $billions for Trump Family, but now we call “Affordability”

Corporate Media: Republicans pivot to Affordability!

To recap: Trump said Zohran isn’t a jihadist and is going to do a good job, even as Zohran still maintained Trump is a fascist.

Next time a Republican whines when they get called a fascist, just remind them that Trump says he doesn't mind the label!
Q: Are you affirming that you think President Trump is a fascist?

MAMDANI: I've spoken about--

TRUMP: That's okay. You can just say yes. I don't mind.

Two things about trump. 1) He's in love with Mamdani & socialism now & it looks like M's going to be next after Bubba. 2) Fox News & his base are finally going to understand how much of a giant toddler moron he is in that he genuinely just always goes along with whatever the last person said to him.
Trump is now defending Mamdani in response to loaded questions from Fox News. incredible scenes

I've had this in the works for a good while. It was a lot of fun to do, and I'm excited that I finally get to share it with everyone. It's fascinating, terrifying, ridiculous, and darkly funny, which are all of my favorite things. #cryonics #cryogenics #longevity #science

As an independent creator & researcher with a small channel, this is the kind of comment that keeps me going. With 15 years of experience in digital media the slog of solo content creation can be frustrating at times, especially when progress isn't as fast as I hoped. Thanks to everyone for watching

In light of the brand new insanely irresponsible journalist malfeasance from the New York Times in their coverage of Matt Gaetz, Olivia Nuzzi & RFK Jr, let's remember that traditional media is actually on fire right now, and there are some simple things we could do about that. youtu.be/n30tH1VT8cA

Just this week (1) revealed that NYT had details of Trump's involvement in a horrifying sex trafficking operation in 2015 but kept it quite (2) NYT pushing lies about Trump pivoting to "affordability" falsely comparing his policy, economy, rhetoric to Biden (3) NYT wrote this absolute monstrosity 👇
A teenager in Florida with a homeless parent wanted money for braces and ended up having sex for money with powerful men, setting off a chain of events that would have a dramatic impact on her life and help upend the political career of Representative Matt Gaetz. nyti.ms/49PSkL9

If you're thinking the news is getting more radical, especially on the right end of the spectrum, you would be correct.

Welp, it finally happened. Elon sent me a notification to let me know they've labeled my twitter account suspicious spam activity, meanwhile I'm literally just posting about the factual data behind major issues. Elon, trump, & the Republican party do not want you to know the truth about anything.

Like most everything else in public policy, this has already been answered by the data but we just keep getting riled up in our feefees about it & nobody ever bothers to look up the evidence. This is not how sociopolitical challenges will be solved, & why I'm giving you the data youtu.be/nCTyokLISRk

Lots of crazies in the comments about my SNAP video essay who are really upset about kids being able to eat. And they simply will not believe any actual data about food stamps and instead just spew talking points with no factual backing. Come help me argue with them. youtu.be/ImUrvWvI-yY
