The simple fact that it's even that close is why no country in the world will ever again trust America. America is always one step away from electing another Nazi

It feels obvious to say but the fact that all the rich people just have stopped following laws is clearly not something that happens in a functioning democracy.

It’s election time so it’s time for every media organization to support Republicans who are “breaking with Trump” when these Republicans are 100% are not in any way breaking with Trump. Just another day in our wonderful oligarchy.

Hey, ProPublica reporter Jake Pearson here. I’m taking over the account to tell you about my new story. For months, I posed as a problem gambler on DraftKings to test the company's "responsible gaming" safeguards. Spoiler alert: They made me a VIP — and I lost $10K. Here's how it all went down. 🧵

It’s fascinating to watch as Congress chooses every day to abdicate its powers to the president. The Supreme Court does the same. This kind of thing is largely a one way door… it’s hard to take back these powers after giving them up.

Ironically, US taxpayers contributions towards Israel’s social fabric provides benefits to the citizens (and permanent residents) of Israel that far exceed the benefits available to citizens of the US. Such as Universal Healthcare, for a huge example.

If you vote for republicans in 2026, you’re a loser. There’s no “I didn’t know better” or “I didn’t vote for this”. Nah dog - if you vote for republicans in November, you’re a loser and a traitor to the republic.

DoorDash has ripped off more than 260,000 NYC delivery workers. We’re making them pay $131.5 million — the largest worker settlement in City history. This is New York, where hard work pays and greed will cost you.
DoorDash messed up.
They repeatedly left more than 260,000 NYC delivery workers underpaid or paid late, causing them immense stress and financial difficulty.
That's unacceptable.
We've secured a $131.5M settlement from
DoorDash - the largest worker settlement in NYC history and largest delivery worker settlement in
American municipal history.
Every worker will be paid what they are owed, and every company will be forced to abide by the laws of this city.
