I think in reality what socialism actually means in the American context is that trillionaire Elon Musk got $38 billion from the U.S. government and you got rejected trying to buy a $1 soda on SNAP benefits.

As the USS Lincoln comes home today, we commend the brave servicemembers who endured a near-record deployment and served our country honorably. It’s also a reminder that sailors and their families pay the biggest costs for this war of choice. We owe them an immediate end to this conflict.

He’s losing a war and can’t lie his way out, he’s poised for a midterm rebuke, he can sense his power waning, he’s desperate to feel strong, so he reaches for one he’s always been able to flex, get the right to say particular words—then mainstream media usually follows—but that isn’t working either.

Trump is increasingly brazen in politicizing federal disaster relief, explicitly tying approvals to campaign endorsements and elections. It’s one of the underappreciated scandals of his second term. Or as one governor put it yesterday, it’s “complete and total bulls---.” www.ms.now/rachel-maddo...

Ahead of the midterms, Trump isn’t even being subtle about politicizing disaster aid
The president’s latest move was so brazen that the governor of Wisconsin called Trump’s announcement “complete and total bulls---.”

The First Amendment wasn’t actually “first.” The original First Amendment was meant to ensure that the House of Representatives grew in loose proportion to the country. Instead, the House’s size hasn’t changed since 1911. Today’s “One First” on that history—and the problems a capped House creates:

Bonus 256: The Original “First” Amendment
The only provision from the original Bill of Rights that was never adopted would've grown the House in proportion to the country. We should revisit it.

“What most political analysts miss is how strong and specific the authoritarian appeal is for white evangelicals, and how critical it is to at least weaken it. The roots of this confluence go back decades, if not centuries, and are deeply entwined with white evangelical theology itself.”

Trump’s war spiked gas prices. His cuts to health care made premiums soar. His tariffs spiked the cost of groceries, building materials, and more. None of this ever had to happen. Every extra dollar you pay was pain he chose to inflict.
