The rich would prefer you to believe that the "free market" is subject to the immutable law of supply and demand. But for years, the wealthy and powerful have manipulated the market for their own gain. There is nothing “free” about it. Watch.

Jayapal on McConnell: How about we have term limits on members of Congress and upper age limits on members of Congress? Why do we allow people to stay until they literally have to be carried off the floor, until they disappear with paid leave that they won’t grant for anyone else in the country?

Through the end of August 2026, the House was in session for roughly 383 hours total. That’s an average of about 48 hours per month. Their average monthly floor time is well below the 80-hour monthly threshold the same Congress imposed on Medicaid recipients.

It should be illegal to buy a company with debt and then sell it off to a foreign owner, but that fight was lost long ago. Anyway, now the Saudis own a truly distressing portion of American entertainment, from Hollywood to Video Games to Sports. This is not neutral behavior. Anyway.

Trump Calls A.I. Fears a Hoax. Inside the White House, the Debate Is More Complex.
The president seems driven chiefly by the sense that A.I. is the way to economic growth, and nothing can be allowed to stand in its way.

The Court didn't rule the mail-ballot rule illegal. It ruled it late. Kavanaugh: the rule may be lawful...but nobody can implement it in 7 weeks. Ballots already went out. That's the whole lesson. The best plan on earth dies if you launch it past the deadline.

No, not irreversible. But it will almost certainly take more than one Democratic term to fix. Which is why I’ve been so insistent that folks stop the goddamn purity tests and vote responsibly in November. We aren’t looking for perfect candidates. We’re looking for better than Republicans.

This is brutality, not policing. He wasn’t the driver. He didn’t lead police on a 130 MPH chase. He was opening the door to get out when the trooper smashed the window, grabbed him by his locks, punched him, and dragged him by his hair. Watch the video, decide for yourself.
