If you make a billion dollars — or $500 million or even $100 million dollars — and you keep trying to make more, then there is something seriously wrong with you. It's a mental illness akin to hoarding or drug addiction.

Some simple moral clarity. Our country is run, and our public life is dominated by, wicked people.

I wish there were a party -- or christ, just a substantial faction of Americans -- who stood up for love, compassion, & decency with the same vigor these fucking ghouls celebrate murder.

We wanted to understand Democratic Socialists of America. So we talked to two old guys who voted for Trump. (Yes, this is literally the article.)

So far today, Chuck Schumer has said his strategy for preventing Trump sending troops into blue cities is to win over Republican senators (!) while Hakeem Jeffries praised Eric Adams's courage and authenticity (!!) while refusing to endorse Mamdani. Again.

These two gotta go.

The fact that Matthew Dowd lost his job for pointing out Charlie Kirk’s hate speech, while Brian Kilmeade openly suggests we should euthanize the homeless and there is zero outrage, shows exactly what is terribly wrong with today’s political mainstream media.

As the fascist in chief violates the Constitution to use the military to wage war on Americans—a reminder that @thehill.com published this propaganda about Harris & it is still up. Corporate media is complicit in the rise of American fascism

Now, with the situation in Israel and the anger at the current administration which supports it, we find ourselves in unfamiliar and uncomfortable territory. Israelis are now the bad guys which is to say, Jews are now the bad guys. michaelianblack.substack.com/p/lets-talk-...

There is a connection between Israel's barbaric lawlessness, Russia's continued terrorist attacks on cities and the Trump administration's secret police immigrant kidnapping campaign.

They are all a result of far-right policies met with insufficient pushback.
BREAKING: Israeli military attacks humanitarian aid vessel Handala in international waters 30 miles from Gaza — in violation of maritime law — and has abducted 21 people on board, including U.S. citizens.

The ship was carrying life-saving aid, which Israel has seized.

You know how literally everyone who's taken a look at the US electricity grid agrees that we need lots more high-voltage transmission? Like literally everyone.

Trump just canceled a federal loan enabling one of the few lines moving forward. Pure nihilism.

We've reached the point in our descent into fascism where the Jewish governor's house getting firebombed on Passover by a guy trying to bash his head in with a sledgehammer is overshadowed by the story of the President saying he wants to build foreign gulags for US citizens.

The DOJ is arguing, on behalf of the President, that the President can scoop up anyone, put them on an airplane, and then no laws apply because no court has jurisdiction.

Whether the person is a citizen wouldn't change that because there's no point they could even tell a court they're a citizen.
Wow. DOJ is arguing that the President has authority outside the Alien Enemies Act in international waters "that would not be subject to either orders."

Boasberg seems skeptical, asking if the president's foreign power exists only once the plane crosses into international airspace?
