Cool, cool, Thom, just checking real quick, but uh, who voted to confirm all of his advisors? And who nominated them for confirmation? Like, classic good tsar, bad boyars nonsense, but c'mon, seriously. You're leaving the Senate anyway, have some damn dignity on the way out.

Remember: Wealth cannot be separated from power. We're seeing in real time how the extreme concentration of wealth is distorting our politics, rigging markets, and granting unprecedented power to a handful of people. Taxing the rich isn't just an economic issue, it's a defense of our democracy.

Trump claims he’s ‘flipping races’ with rallies. It’s not Republicans he’s helping
The president insists he can help his party defy the polls, even as Republicans who voted for him sour on his policies and increasingly erratic behavior and comments in the home stretch to Election Day, writes Andrew Feinberg

Сега Радев ще се чуди как да лъже, че не са руснаците. Зеленски потвърди, че те не са имали операция в нашата част на морето. Украинските служби са се свързали с нашите, проверили са всички детайли и е установено, че това е бил руски комбиниран удар с морски и въздушни дронове.

I was told Zohran Mamdani would instantly turn New York into a crime-ridden hellscape. Yet murders are down almost 20%, year over year. 203 people have been slain, about 22.5 per month. In 1990, that average was *251 per month.* NYC has never been this safe.

I think this is right about Ukraine, but pretty obviously wrong about the Iranians and the Houthis, an overly credulous reading of their aims. Even before the current war, Iran maintained networks of proxies and militias across the region and has pretty obvious hegemonic aims.
