The corruption is so blatant. US-Russia discussions now include a multibillion-dollar purchase of Russian energy giant Lukoil’s global assets,to enrich Mid East businesses with ties to Jared Kushner and Steve Witkoff, who are leading the negotiations. Gift link. 👇 www.nytimes.com/2026/10/03/u...

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.

For decades, the political project has been remarkably consistent: Cut taxes for the wealthy → reduce public revenue → increase deficits → use the resulting debt to justify cutting social programs. This not a non-political fiscal policy choice. It's a mechanism for redistributing wealth upward.

Tyrants view educated citizens as their greatest enemy. Slaveholders stopped the enslaved from learning to read. Nazis burned books. Dictators censor media. That’s why Trump is attacking education, science, museums, the media, and the arts – to prevent us from learning. It's Fascism 101.
