Nearly $1.5 million in AIPAC funds makes you sound absolutely moronic any time your mouth is open, it seems.
Congressman Ritchie Torres says "the Epstein controversy is a distraction" and that "there was no need for an investigation".

"The medical examiner had investigated the matter and found that Epstein died by suicide."

reporting that a mayoral candidate accurately filled out his college application as if he engaged in misconduct would reflect a low point for a publication that had any remaining dignity

RFK Jr talking about the need for doctors to know how to treat measles for those who are unvaccinated.

“Only very sick kids should die from measles.”

No. They shouldn’t. That was the point of the vaccine. We eradicated the virus so children didn’t die.

Sick & disabled kids are not expendable!

Knowing what I know about how these hospitals run, this 100% tracks. The people running these places are all ego and greed and it’s disgusting.
THIS IS INSANE: Hospital chains are buying up billions of dollars of real estate, milking them for income while using charity status to avoid taxes that fund schools & emergency departments. Some are using taxpayer-subsidized fortunes to buy elections.
Paging Dr. Land Baron
Nonprofit hospitals are building tax-exempt real estate empires — and working to crush politicians who stand in their way.

Once again, this time in the middle of the night, Israeli airplanes bombed Beirut. 4 people were martyred. This time there's no "rockets from south" or anything, but ofc ppl will still osensibly claim this attack as self-defence/justified. It's illegal and barbaric.

SCOOP: The Trump admin appears to be going into a visa database to quietly change students' immigration status. It's coming entirely by surprise — setting students up to be detained without warning.

It's Mahmoud Khalil & Rumeysa Ozturk — on a wider scale.

If Dems ever get power again - assuming free and fair elections (big assumption) - they will never again have the excuse of “we can’t pass laws through congress and the president is powerless.”

Presidency is now a king level position capable of law by EO alone apparently.

New report: “Undocumented immigrants paid a staggering $96.7 billion in federal, state, and local taxes in 2022. That’s more than the tax contributions of some of the wealthiest corporations and individuals in the country.”

In exchange, state sponsored terror & torture.

All I'm saying is, if you ran a campaign on democracy being at stake and democracy lost, isn't it time to be massively freaking out instead of doing this

Being a historian, people ask me if I think the US is living through Germany 1933.

I answer no, analogies are always imperfect but to me it feels more like Russia 1999: a blatant theft of state assets and liberals in a fugue state, refusing to believe the arc of progress is bending against them.

Hail to the thief
David Sacks--Trump's "Crypto Czar"--raised millions of dollars for Trump during the election & now gets his payback.

This is the most blatant, "in-your-face" corruption I've ever seen. If it were Russia or some developing country, it wouldn't be a surprise.

But this is America & it's truly sad.

Depends who you ask, but the unit cost of the F/A-18 they shot down by accident is something like $66 million—or $3 million more than the entire Gabriella Miller children’s cancer research program Elon Musk tried to kill.
The U.S. military said it mistakenly shot down one of its own fighter aircraft over the Red Sea early Sunday in "an apparent episode of friendly fire." Both pilots are safe.

🚨 Israeli tanks have entered the Syrian town of Quneitra, near the occupied Golan, from the demilitarized zone, accompanied by shelling of nearby areas. This follows increased IOF deployment in the Golan yesterday, and the fall of Bashar Al-Assad’s regime today.

When you call 911, they ask “police, fire, or EMS?”

Only one of those costs money: the ambulance. That’s unacceptable.

Imagine if your house was on fire and you were presented with a bill after it was put out. That would be outrageous.

So why do we tolerate it with healthcare?

the only reason that tech was ever remotely left-coded was that in the early 2010s they consciously aligned themselves with what appeared to be the dominant political party. that meant large donations to Dems and nominal gestures toward diversity. as soon as the winds shifted they swung right.
