Maybe the problem starts with believing that entering public office means you’re there to “represent Christ” rather than the people.

Effective 2025 federal tax rates paid by these corporations: Alphabet: 8.01% AT&T: 4.6% Meta: 3.57% General Motors: 3.09% Amazon: 1.37% Exxon Mobil: 1.31% Disney: -1.57% CVS Health: -3.88% Income tax rate paid by the typical American: 14.5% This is what a rigged system looks like.

CEO pay is up 1,316% since 1978, while typical worker pay is up just 28%. CEOs are now paid 325 TIMES as much as the typical worker in their industry, according to @epi.org Why do we always hear "we can't afford to pay our workers more" but never "we can't afford to pay our CEO more"?

6 weeks from the election & suddenly Republicans pretend to care more about their constituents than cultish obedience to Trump. But 5 minutes after the election they’ll be right back selling you out so they can get a signed hat in the Oval Office or a dinner invite to Mar-a-Lago.

This is a subhed for the ages in the WSJ this morning: “Talk of heading off artificial intelligence’s potential role in destroying humanity hurt some stocks and helped others”

For the sheer combination of saying stupid shit, and being smug as you say it, it's hard to beat Scott Bessent.

Trump grift and stupidity strikes again. The opening of this bridge could have happened on time and with international excitement. Everything Trump touches dies. But I’m happy for Detroit to see this bridge open.

Fascism is here. If you’re not alarmed you’re not paying attention. “Left-wing political terrorism” will mean those who oppose the regime — while actual right-wing extremism is allowed to grow and thrive. We are very far off the cliff, folks.

I’ve wanted to see more elected Democrats and other prominent opponents of the Trump regime take this sort of approach. Address it on a human level. A basic what’s wrong with you, why do you debase yourself like this. Or as Sen. Ossoff put it: “isn’t it humiliating to be unable to answer this?”

Nothing quite captures the spirit of America 250 like promising a century of single party rule if only one party can change election laws.

This is no slam on Welker, who’s doing her level best, but the value of these interviews is getting close to zero.
