The USPS posting a NINE BILLION DOLLAR LOSS!!! sounds terrible. Certainly worse than if you said "USPS costs thirty dollars per person per year" even though that means the same thing and more accurately describes a government service

July 18: If we have a smart president, you're never going to let the dollar slide. If you have a dummy, that could happen.

July 25: A weak dollar makes you a hell of a lot more money. It doesn't sound good, but you make a hell of a lot more money with a weaker dollar than with a strong dollar

Not sure this would work but there’s no reason they can’t try.
Governors Newsom and Hochul should urge their legislatures to start holding hearings with the Epstein/Maxwell victims/survivors ASAP!

On camera. Under oath.

Let Pettyman Smallcock or Todd Blanche try to stop it!

Phang: Teachers are some of the least paid, most underappreciated people, and they work in such an intimate way in our lives. Your kids spend more time at school than they do at home, at least in waking hours. So why not encourage our teachers? Why create this oppressive environment?

If you refuse to endorse the overwhelmingly popular Democratic nominee for mayor of America's largest city, you should not be leading Democrats in the U.S. House
Hakeem Jeffries again declines to endorse Zohran Mamdani, saying "I don't know him well."

CHRIS HAYES: Why are you not endorsing the guy that won the democratic primary in a contested election in your backyard?

JEFFRIES: I didn't get involved in that primary election, and I don't know him well.

I honestly don't care what people who refuse to ban private jets or cut military and police spending think about air conditioning.

Air conditioning saves lives. Private jets and military weapons and cop budgets take lives. Seems pretty obvious to me what we should cut to fight climate change.

Jeffrey Epstein was never 'just a distraction' - not to MAGA which saw him as the embodiment of immoral liberal hypocrisy, and which is much madder about their bubble bursting than any Medicaid cuts

What Dems must learn from the Epstein meltdown. My new column www.inquirer.com/opinion/comm...
MAGA cares more about Jeffrey Epstein than dying without Medicaid, which explains everything
MAGA rage over the Trump regime's failure to show an Epstein conspiracy reveals what matters inside a right-wing bubble.
