I hope the midterms go well, but it won’t be because U.S. voters have suddenly rejected fascism. It’ll be because the car juice is too expensive.

Of course, incompetent chatterbox Pete Hegseth doesn't want factual news coming out of the Pentagon. That might interfere with his deceitful underreporting of casualties and lying about the significant damages inflicted by Iran.

Odd, that Republicans in Congress cruelly require work quotas from the poor, sick, and disabled to get federal money, while Republicans in Congress could never qualify for these quotas because of all the days they take off work, but still get FULL benefits from the federal government. ¯\_(ツ)_/¯

The amount of Amazon workers relying on SNAP and Medicaid has nearly tripled since 2020. — while Amazon’s annual profits soared by over 550%. It’s the same story everywhere: corporate profits are at record highs, while workers’ share of the economy is at a record low. We must unrig the system.

Happy birthday to my old friend, Bernie Sanders. It's an honor to have been in the fight with him for all of these years. Bernie has more guts than any politician I know. Hell, he has more guts than just about anyone I know.

This will not, of course, stop people on Facebook who've never driven an EV in their lives telling me that the batteries have to be replaced in 60,000km and cost at least a billion dollars each arstechnica.com/cars/2026/09...

EV batteries last longer than drivers feared
Study suggests used vehicles can retain about 90% of original usable battery capacity after 150,000 km.

There have been so many impeachable offenses, but lying about how you were a hero on a day that 2,753 people died in NYC in the 9/11 disaster—when you were on the other side of town, safely calling local media to brag about how you now had the tallest downtown building—is such a despicable one
