Attempting to criminalize the actions of an independent public servant, Fed Chair Jay Powell, for the sin of acting independently is an outrage. It's bad economics, bad politics, bad for the rule of law, bad for the public sector, bad for American credibility and bad for Americans.

Jesse Ventura was my friend's dad & our high school football coach when he became governor. His son & I were these two nerds who wrote screenplays together. Anyway, listen to Ty's dad.
Ex-Minnesota Governor Jesse Ventura: “We’re a 3rd world country now. I know. I’ve been to ‘em. I spent 17 months in SE Asia while the draft dodger was playing golf… that’s what happens in a dictatorship. In comes the military. That’s what’s happening here.” 🇺🇸

The Republican Supreme Court justices believe that facts have a liberal bias
As Justice Kagan begins her dissent by pointing out, what is even the point of trial, of fact-finding, of clear error, of standards of review, when the Supreme Court simply ignores every single part of that and decides everything purely on the papers without any real consideration of the facts?

Twitter pays people based on engagement (views, retweets, comments, etc). It appears that many MAGA accounts are based abroad and they use AI technology to generate low-effort rage bait.

My guess is that this will get worse as AI tech improves. For instance, fake videos of minorities doing crime.

Medicare 4 all.

Why should we pay all that money to insurance companies who deny us coverage and make medical decisions based on company profits? We pay more for less.

It's increasingly clear that the president lives in a constructed bubble of unreality designed by aides who are manipulating him in order to take control of US policy. Seems like an important story - wish media would cover it.

I don't often quote the president, but here goes:

"If there is a shutdown, I think it would be a tremendously negative mark on the president of the United States. He's the one that has to get people together."

They don't feel shame, but they care deeply about status.

Wanting to be liked--or at least envied--is their Achilles heel. We can use that against them:it's cheap, non-violent & effective.

Social shunning of elites supporting Pinochet helped bring down the Chilean dictator: it can work here too.
