It would cost $38 billion dollars to extend the Affordable Care Act subsidies for another year and ensure Americans don’t lose their healthcare. The republicans said no. Trump sent $40 billion to Argentina and they didn’t object. Argentina first, America last.

Here's a gift link to the New York Times' coverage of the initial Tea Party rallies in April 2009 which inspired the media to treat it like a massive movement. Check out how tiny the crowds were: Philly: 200 DC: "several hundred" Boston: 500 Austin: 1,000 Houston: 2,000

Newsom shows how to get the media to see Trump’s weakness
If you sound like a demented old man, reporters want to know why.

NIH scientists have a cancer breakthrough. Layoffs are delaying it.
A big step forward in cancer therapy has been slowed by layoffs and new restrictions at the National Institutes of Health, where it was developed.

Something that's been clear to me for some time is that a lot of progressive advocacy and politics has overindexed on finding just the right combination of words to say while ignoring the fact that no media ecosystem exists where people might actually hear you say them. New from @mmfa.bsky.social
Media Matters compiled a list of 418 popular online shows — podcasts, streams, and other long-form audio and video content regularly posted online — that were active during 2024, assessed ideological alignment, and found 320 online shows with an ideological bent (191 right-leaning and 129 left-leaning) that covered news and politics and/or hosted related guests.

Nine of the 10 online shows from our study with the largest total following across platforms were right-leaning, accounting for at least 197 million total followers and subscribers. These are the online shows of:

Joe Rogan: 39.9 million
Ben Shapiro: 25 million
Jordan Peterson: 23 million
Russell Brand: 22.5 million
Theo Von: 22.3 million
Charlie Kirk: 18.6 million
Nelk Boys’ Full Send Podcast: 16.7 million
Candace Owens: 15 million
Dr. Phil: 14.2 millionAcross streaming platforms including YouTube, Rumble, Twitch, Kick, and Spotify, the left-leaning online shows had at least 55.9 million total followers and subscribers — a figure which is dwarfed by the right-leaning online shows with at least 255.5 million.

This content is further amplified on Facebook, Instagram, and TikTok — social media platforms where the programs or hosts post full streams, clips, and show links. Left-leaning online shows had at least 48 million followers across these platforms, while the right-leaning online shows had more than 225 million followers.

Of a cumulative 584.6 million followers and subscribers across all eight platforms, Media Matters found that right-leaning online shows accounted for roughly 82%, or 480.6 million — almost five times more than left-leaning shows’ nearly 104 million.

If one thinks about what Europe is evaluating right now, Ukraine & European security are at the forefront. And that's correct. At the same time, I encourage people to recognize that an outside observer doesn't just see us as trashing our allies; they see us as self-destructing from within.

For over a thousand years, the main purpose of Britain’s Royal Mint has been to make coins. But as the use of cash declines, the mint is undergoing a transformation. Its new purpose: recovering precious metals from electronic waste. And turning that metal into jewelry. See how: nyti.ms/3BHSDt8
