The worst part of Trump buying Russian diesel is that he and Jeffrey Epstein raped kids. For years.

how long before the US is bombing Ukraine and Gaza directly, rather than just paying Russia and Israel to do it?

You do not have to be a parent to feel anger at the details in the latest investigation by @isabelaalhadeff.bsky.social and @samanthamichaels.bsky.social. But the white-hot rage I felt as a dad reading this is going to stick with me for some time.

The saturation of sports betting not just in ads between innings, but *during* the actual #MLB #Playoffs broadcasts is really turning me the F off. Sports Betting & Polymarket/Kalshi crap need Tobacco-level advertising regulations.

Noone ever investigated who removed the panic buttons from all the congressional offices in the weeks leading up. Noone ever investigated the private tours that were given to the insurrection leaders in the weeks leading up. Noone investigated why local PD and National Guard didn't respond.

The Renew Deal is objectively better than: “the New New Deal.” Renew acknowledges that the Democrats have made some mistakes, and it promises that we will have to try some new things.

I know Rahm Emanuel. I worked with him for years in the Clinton administration, and then when he was Obama’s chief of staff. Rahm Emanuel represents everything that’s been wrong about the Democratic Party for the last 30+ years. Be warned. robertreich.substack.com/p/the-rahm…

Rather than suspending the gas tax, maybe we could limit the subsidies to oil companies and use the money instead to reduce the national debt, or to finance renewable energy initiatives! Oil will run out long before the sun stops shining!

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.

Republicans' fear of fake socialism in the United States is bringing about real fascism in the United States. Mainly because they are too ignorant to know the difference.

I will write this more in days ahead. But it is really important to know that (on Xitter) Stephen Miller is trying to stave off being blamed for the catastrophe that is now predicted to happen to the GOP. Frantically. [ahem] I'd like to prevent this from happening.

If the Democrats don’t exact accountability when they get back in power as a key part of Reconstruction 3.0 project - they may not get another chance to govern again. Every single Dem running for WH must have clear and deliverable vision of accountability as part of a reconstruction project.

If NFL owners want to censor who performs in stadiums, they shouldn't ask taxpayers to help build them. You can't take public subsidies for stadiums then use them as your personal editorial board. Pay for it all out of your own pocket and hold as many Kid Rock concerts as you want to.

The oil industry buys off Congress. No action on climate. The NRA buys off Congress. No action on guns. Insurance companies buy off Congress. No action on health care. Big Tech buys off Congress. No action on AI safety. The list goes on and on. Money in politics is the root of our dysfunction.
