Emotion cemented Jepsen as a niche star and was acclaimed for its sense of drama and unabashed schmaltz. It's also a trove of songs about one particular emotion less associated with her cutesy image.
10 years later, it's still a joy to fall into Carly Rae Jepsen's 'Emotion'

Americans are relearning the lesson we learned during the Gilded Age of the late 1890s, when robber barons ran the government and the economy for their own benefit: Oligarchy is incompatible with the common good.

I'm hopeful we'll respond with a new progressive movement.

Busting up big corporations and tackling Wall Street’s greed.

Getting big money out of politics. 

Strengthening unions and fighting for higher wages.

Medicare for all, paid family leave, universal childcare...

This is the progressive populist agenda we need in America.

Matt Walsh told Joe Rogan it was millions. In reality the numbers are miniscule, and parents are involved.

But this is what Republicans want you focused on — as they cut taxes for the rich, health care and food for the poor, and privatize everything for their donors.

Every flashbang could instead be a meal for a poor kid. Every hotel room for a National Guardsman deployed to fire at our neighbors could house a homeless vet. Every "less-than-lethal" bullet pulled from a journalist's eye could be already needed healthcare for anyone else. All of this is a choice.

Rick Scott accusing people of Medicare fraud is something else, man.
BREAM: Is there an acknowledgement that there will be people, potentially millions of them, transitioned off healthcare programs?

RICK SCOTT: The only way you're gonna get of the program is if you way you do not want to work.

People should be SHAMED for staying in office so long they die there, leading to legislative and electoral losses.

YOUR ego is NOT more important than the CAUSE.

Millions of people are going to die on the altar of career goals. And yet I will be viciously attacked for stating this obvious truth.

I wish journalists would stop framing political news as wins or losses for politicians or political parties. It’s an abrogation of our mission. Why do we keep doing this? Is the spending bill a win or loss for the American people? Who does it help? Who does it hurt? Is it sound policy? Fiscally?

ICYMI: DOGE signed an agreement with Louis DeJoy to slash 10,000 jobs from the already-understaffed USPS.

The USPS is the nation’s lifeline, ensuring delivery to every corner of the country.

We cannot allow it to be dismantled, sold off, and handed over to billionaires for profit.

There is no scenario where neoliberal Democrats control the Democratic Party and the party regains popularity to dominate electorally nationwide.

Progressive populism. That’s the only path for the Democrats.
