If a person votes Republican, it doesn't simply mean they disagree with me on the issues. It means they want to murder Iranian schoolgirls, Caribbean boat passengers and American protesters. It means they want my grandkids to grow up in a dictatorship. This isn't politics. It's basic human decency.

Americans are getting slammed by higher gas and diesel prices because of Trump’s war, and families need some relief. @chrispappasnh.bsky.social and I are fighting to suspend the gas and diesel taxes to lower costs and put money back in your pocket.

Justice Jackson is right. The conservative majority on the Supreme Court has given Trump a FAST PASS. He's won 80% of his emergency docket cases. Firing federal workers. Canceling grants. Stripping immigrants of legal status. This is a rigged system, not a court of law.

If you’re in a rent-stabilized apartment, any lease renewal starting today must remain at the same rent that it was last year.

Given how poorly Netanyahu is doing in the polls, I've little doubt that the hijacked plane and the UK "bomb threat" are the work of people connected to him and who are trying to stoke fear to get Netanyahu's poll numbers up.

If we are going to execute people, and I think that is usually a morally bad thing, we need to do it humanely, swiftly, and certainly. There are two common methods that fit both. Firing squad. Long drop hanging. We should not allow anything else.

Imagine sitting there while AI does your heaviest cognitive tasks for you. Now imagine being happy about your purposelessness and getting vicarious joy from a machine’s creativity or problem-solving rather than your own. This is the intellectual equivalent of a cuckold fetish.

Socialism for the rich: "too big to fail", direct subsidies, grants, exemptions from taxes, financial incentives, regulatory capture, capital gains preferences, special write-offs. Socialism for the working poor: SNAP benefits to feed your children makes you a welfare queen, a parasite.

All those Trump supporting farmers who rage about "socialism" are fine with crop insurance subsidies, direct commodity price supports, market intervention, trade aid, and the CRP paying farmers to let their land lie fallow. They going to get about $47 Billion in 2026 from the federal government.
