Dr. Phil has long dispensed advice to anyone hoping to avoid financial ruin: “No. 1 is avoid debt like the plague.” Yet for thousands of people mired in debt, Dr. Phil’s eldest son Jay McGraw has been part of the problem, ProPublica and @adn.com found.

Elon Musk's epic flameout came to a head this week amid DOGE's failure, GOP mockery, and confirmation from Musk himself that he won't be spending as much money—or time—on politics. The schadenfreude is real! For this and more Trump fails, look no further.

There’s no denying it anymore: the pro-democracy movement is finally back on offense. Trump’s presidency is an unmitigated disaster. MAGA is imploding under the weight of its own lies, grifts, and failures. They’re not strong—they’re desperate. They’re flailing. And they know it.

Fox News' Maria Bartiromo: "The market has been going down." Donald Trump: "Look...You can’t really watch the stock market." Uh... This coming from the guy who regularly screeched that Biden would crash the stock market but took credit for both Obama's and Biden's gains?

This validates my belief that the vast majority of Americans do not understand how many federal programs they rely upon in their daily lives. They literally do not put 2+2 together. They think the money comes from some magical virtue spigot.

This piece is even worse than I thought and I really wish someone smart in the disability justice world would write the takedown it deserves. It's so frustrating to see media people sharing this type of crap that just confirms a certain type of person's worldview and preconceived notions

"Negative selection" in authoritarian regimes refers to the deliberate promotion of incompetent, loyal individuals over competent, independent-minded ones. This ensures absolute loyalty to the leader, suppresses dissent, & consolidates power.

The Teamsters have endorsed Democrats for president since '96. And despite the Dems saving pensions and retirement benefits for 2 million Americans, the Teamsters didn't endorse a candidate this cycle. Now, within a week of taking office, Trump gutted the NLRB. Is this what Sean O'Brien had in mind?
