At a time when the most influential leaders of the U.S. need to stand up loudly and clearly for the rule of law, they are leading the charge in the opposite direction. But not Jack Smith. Kudos to him for continuing to be a much needed voice of clarity.

While I don't disagree with any of this I really wish people would be this vocal over the industry that THEY actually have control over bc it's killing billions daily as well as destroying the planet. 👇🏼 animal agriculture #ActOnClimate 🌱

This aired just the once in 1998 on the live SNL show for which McKay wrote it. It was effectively banned as it never aired again. I wonder why. MEDIA-OPOLY

The people picking crops, washing dishes, and building homes paid $96.7 billion in taxes. Some billionaires paid nothing. Who exactly is freeloading?

Judge Luttig details a possible scenario under which on January 3, 2027 the U.S. House prompted by Trump may refuse to seat the newly-elected Democrats. The matter would then go to the Supreme Court and the battle for our democracy would reach its tipping point. newrepublic.com/article/2151...

When the banks needed help, they called it “stabilizing the economy.” When airlines needed help, they called it “protecting jobs.” When corporations got tax breaks, they called it “pro-growth.” When working people need health care? “SOCIALISM.”
