Matt Stoller: ‘We have a billionaire crisis’
As billionaire power grows in the Trump era, Matt Stoller of the Economic Liberties Project warns America is facing a “billionaire crisis.” He says the “Epstein class” is exposing what many Americans already realize: “The culture war that we've usually had between the left and the right is now actually tilted toward the billionaire class.”

A Japanese artist made the print DHS lifted to spread anti-immigrant hate. Can't make this up.
Screenshot of a post by Alex Luck criticizing others while showing an auction listing for a painting. The image displays a beach scene artwork featuring palm trees, a pinkish car, ocean waves, and a bright blue sky. Below the artwork is text identifying the artist as Hiroshi Nagai and describing the piece. Beneath that, a quoted post from the Department of Homeland Security repeats the phrase, “The peace of a nation no longer besieged by the third world.”

NSF is about to dismantle NCAR at Russell Vought's direction to protect the fossil fuel industry. It's hard to communicate just how much NCAR does, so let's take a look: I've never worked at NCAR, and I've worked with NCAR researchers once ever. What scientific discoveries has NCAR made possible? 👇
Russ Vought (piss man) tweet about doing piss man shit: The National Science Foundation will be breaking up the National Center for Atmospheric Research (NCAR) in Boulder, Colorado. This facility is one of the largest sources of climate alarmism in the country. A comprehensive review is underway & any vital activities such as weather research will be moved to another entity or location.

Democratic Governors Have the Legal Authority to Arrest ICE Agents. They Should Use It.
Even failed prosecutions would force federal agents to think twice before breaking down doors.

I’m a lawyer who’s worked with unhoused clients; acquiring a govt ID is by far, the most common task/obstacle unhoused clients face, usually at the outset. So of course, ICE is raiding homeless shelters. They hit the Women’s’ Shelter across the street from our bldg, yesterday. Cruelty is the point.
