feels like at least part of what is happening is that a lot of people want politics to solve the "my life feels empty" problem and the populist right is directly appealing to them

The destruction of 60 Minutes was a feature, not a bug, imo. Billionaires want investigative journalism to die a swift death. Which is what makes @pablo.show, @propublica.org, etc., such a sight for sore eyes.

Massachusettes "Millionaires Tax", which was targeted to fund transportation and education, has been a resounding success. It has funded FREE school lunch for ALL students, FREE buses in lowest income communities (people can get to work, etc.), and FREE community college. And "exodus" was minimal.

Millionaires tax surges past expectations, once again
The voter-approved surtax has sailed past its $2 billion estimate for another year in a row.

Yes, it's what you think. Nobody bought the crypto on the market, it was sold directly to entities like UAE Sovereign Wealth ($500m), Alt5 Sigma ($1.5B, after which the company essentially collapsed and it's about to be delisted), and "Whale 0x0249," an unknown person who funneled $80 million.

Liberals say that Trump has made the United States a lawless country. But they’re wrong— all of the laws will start being enforced again once Democrats are in power.

Republican Senate nominee Ken Paxton has numerous scandals to his name, including affairs, impeachment, and felony indictments. As an unbiased political reporter, it's my job to find an equal number of scandals linked to James Talarico, including but not limited to his ordering vegan tacos.

Can the NYT stop printing the pronouncements of unnamed US officials that are unconfirmed by Iran. Unless they're willing to add how many times US officials have promised things that didn't happen since the conflict began.

Every week, it's the same go-round. Trump says there's a great deal just over the horizon and threatens apocalyptic violence if he doesn't get it, and then it all falls apart, and the cycle repeats.
axios.com
Exclusive: Trump says he's "50/50" on Iran deal or bombs, will meet envoys to decide
Trump said it was a "solid 50/50" as to whether he would be able to make a "good" deal or else "blow them to kingdom come."

"This is what you get when you elect Republicans." Every Dem within 100 feet of a camera needs to be saying this repeatedly. Every time we elect Republicans, we get dumbass wars, tax cuts for rich people, and financial crises. Every time. Fucking say it!

Trump keeps saying Iranian leaders have "no cards." But Iranians are more into chess, aren't they? Someone tell Trump he should play chess with an Iranian leader, on television, just to show he can beat them at their national game. I'd watch that.

When outlets continue to elevate news analysts with histories of being relentlessly and catastrophically wrong, it really gives the game away. Being right will get you fired; flattering the powerful will give you a career.
