Ben Sargent on Reagan’s tax cuts for the rich and the impact on the working poor, March 1981.

Cartoon shows a man labeled "The Working Poor" being run over, with tire tracks across his body, by an old-timey looking truck labeled "Reagan and Co Tax Cuts to the Rich."

A defense contractor CEO + his close associates donated nearly $900,000 to dozens of politicians and got over $40 million a year in government funding. He told the FBI that Sen. Susan Collins was his most important patron. Dive into @propublica.org’s investigation: www.youtube.com/watch?v=jqyi...

Incredible.

Analysis. Does a sex assault claim kill a political career? It depends.

Ghraham Platner’s swift exit followed Eric Swallwell’s similar departure from the California governor’s race, but Republicans have taken a different tack.

This is your occasional reminder that generative "AI" in particular could have been developed on public domain materials and/or licensed and compensated works but the major players intentionally, methodically and systemically chose to steal labor from working creative folks instead

There are many more details in the piece about other players, not just Spurs players, as well as other arguments, that make this point.

"At Spurs, we lament James Maddison’s ‘fragility,’ but from where I’m sitting it looks mostly like the officiating in the Premier League allows players like Maddison to be hacked down every week....The unfriendliness of the league for skill players is becoming a real problem for the league, I think

They're holding up a major escalation in Iran and a crackdown on abortion until after the midterms to limit political damage. To the extent that the last two years have been a right-wing smash-and-grab operation, the next two will be worse.

it didn't even occur to me that the government might try to execute someone a second time if they torture the person but fail to kill them during a first botched attempt. truly grotesque and a moral stain upon all involved.

John Yoo is the legal architect of George Bush's Iraq War torture program. That UT Austin contracted this bloodthirsty freak to be part of the new right-wing Civitas Center is an inidication of the very dark path this university has started down.
