The Founders could never have imagined America’s modern information environment—and the “question for our democracy is whether a system designed for the communications technologies of the 18th century can survive those of the 21st,” Jeffrey Rosen argues.

The newly released video angles of ICE shooting and killing Alex Pretti show us, conclusively: They. Murdered. Him. Cold Blooded, Decisive MURDER. There's no "If" they did. THEY DID.

Trump is treating this economic crisis like he did the Covid crisis: to avoid increasing numbers of infected people, he stopped the testing. Likewise, to avoid increasing inflation and declining jobs reports, he fired the data analyst. He shutdown the whole country rather than hand over Epstein file

We’ve bombed Iran. And dismantled our joint terrorism task force. And sent a third of the FBI to help ICE. And gutted the National Security Council. And a drunk guy is in charge at the pentagon. And our intelligence allies probably won’t share intel with us. Because people couldn’t vote for a woman.

Trump isn't the worst president in U.S. history because he's mean or "ruthless." He's the worst because he's the dumbest. He's the least intelligent, least qualified person to ever occupy the oval office. The bullying and false bravado is to cover up for the stupidity.

I never watch FOX "news", but, I saw a clip on YouTube of one of their millionaire hosts telling us that protesting the TrumpNazis is "unpatriotic," and we should be willing to make sacrifices for their agenda. She dared to compare this to WW2. I hate these people so much.

Just heard a disturbing story on NPR. There is a new trend in medicine: Doctors going to a subscription model, or "Concierge Medicine." It costs up to $50,000 a year, in addition to what people were already paying. Healthcare will be a luxury item within a few years.
