I hope folks realize this Bab al-Mandab situation will be much worse than the Strait of Hormuz if it’s not sorted out quickly. And it doesn’t currently look like it will be sorted out quickly.

Zohran Mamdani is backing a bill to hold Amazon accountable for exploiting delivery drivers. Now Amazon is launching a $5M lobbying blitz — led by Chuck Schumer's daughter — to crush it. Instead of spending millions on lobbying, Amazon should pay and treat its drivers fairly.

Republicans recycle characters and plot lines more than Marvel Studios. “We need to distract the public from a tanking economy, a pointless failed war, and the Epstein files. I know! Let’s bring back Anthony Fauci and COVID!”

Whenever Trump focuses intently on another’s failings or misdeeds, it’s usually because he shares them and is trying to hide his own. If he continues to focus on Biden’s health, Trump himself must be absolutely falling apart.

I am endlessly fascinated by right wingers' obsession with Sparta. I can understand an initial vibes based appeal I guess - like if you opened the first page of a book on timocracy and were twelve. but the thing about history is you can find out what happened to those guys

Remember back in 2020 when we found out about Trump's secret bank account in China, and that China's biggest state-controlled bank had rented out three floors in Trump Tower? I sure do. Interesting timing given his lies about China interfering in the 2020 election. www.nytimes.com/2020/10/20/u...

The most important thing to remember about Trump’s press conference last night is that the war in Iran is still out of control, gas prices are still through the roof, and the administration is still hiding the Epstein files from the American people.

This is something a 12-yr-old would say. Or a privileged, obnoxious comedian who doesn’t give a sh*t that the mayor was asking for a higher thermostat temp to avoid a blackout that could affect millions of other NYers during a heatwave caused by climber change that I suspect he also denies.

Few shifts in US history are more frustrating than Irish Americans, from the target of nationwide prejudice in the 1840s & 50s to a driving force behind white supremacist violence like the 1863 "Draft Riots." No figure embodies that arc more than immigrant turned leading xenophobe Denis Kearney. +
