As soon as I saw the interview with @davidcorn.bsky.social on @maddow.bsky.social, I was so disgusted by Putin’s attempt to smear David Corn and Dems, that I stopped what I was doing and ordered a copy of his book. I should be reading it on Wednesday. Screw Putin!

Here's how we get Medicare for All done: Make Medicare whole (no one can keep all the parts straight!) Include vision, dental, and hearing. Begin extending to more people, starting with children. We arrive at Medicare for All, which means great Medicare for everyone.

Every time the media quotes Trump saying “fake news” they should add a reminder that Trump is a serial liar, and that what he considers real news is actually disinformation. See also: presswatchers.org/2026/05/journalis…

The amount of Amazon workers relying on SNAP and Medicaid has nearly tripled since 2020 — while Amazon’s annual profits soared by over 550%. It’s the same story everywhere: corporate profits are at record highs, while workers’ share of the economy is at a record low. We must unrig the system.

You think you’re joking, but Soros promised me a cool $5000 to fly over there and protest. He said, “And unlike other entities promising you five grand, I keep my promises.” However, I told George I would happily do it for free. Been a while since I prowled the Dublin pubs.

Mortgage rates were expected to fall this year. But thanks to Trump’s failed war in Iran, they've risen to their highest level since June 2025. Someone buying a typical home now will pay over $200 a month more in interest than with prewar rates.

The expectation had been for falling rates this year, but the war with Iran and its resulting rise in oil prices upended that.

Old World Language Families. I had an excellent professor with this on her wall ages ago
An artistic representation of the "Old World Language Families" resembling a tree, illustrating the Indo-European language family. The branches depict various language groups such as Germanic, Romance, Balto-Slavic, Indo-Iranian, Celtic, and Hellenic, among others. Each branch lists individual languages; for example, under the Germanic branch, there are English, German, Dutch, and others. The size of the branches represents the number of native speakers recorded before the year 0. The design mimics the style of an old map, with the tree rooted in the term "Indo-European."

Look at this graph. The share of national income going to the richest 10 percent was lowest (and share to lower 90 percent highest) when union membership was at its highest. As unions have weakened, inequality has widened. This is why we must build back union power.
