NATO is the most important military alliance in the totality of human history. Putin's top objective has been to smash it. Trump is his agent in this process.

The most important issue in the nation is the federal government’s attack on Black women in power. Today the FBI raided Virginia Sen president pro-tem Louise Lucas, continuing the political genocide against Black political power. All large platforms dems should be covering this.

This is crazy work by Alabama Republicans… As the Alabama Senate was being forced into the basement while tornado sirens were going off, the Republican supermajority kept moving, rammed through a cloture vote on redistricting, passed the bill, and adjourned. [video by Sen Merika Coleman]

This is not to defend ownership or Bres, as there are no winners here. But I'm not buying the Cora as Saint and martyr either. I'd be interested in your more expert opinion on parallels with 2011 Francona - an obviously stellar coach and human, but for whatever reason lost control of the culture.

Corporations and ultra-rich individuals with numerous business interests cannot be trusted to prioritize the public’s right to know over their own bottom lines. When billionaire conglomerates take control of media, it’s not a win for free speech. It’s a win for oligarchy.

What a Trump / MAGA victory looks like: They made the largest transfer of wealth to the rich, largest cut to Medicaid & food aid in US history. And have made your Electricity bill go up by 30%. In addition millions of jobs are now ending. And more than $4 trillion will be added to the debt.

The 35 richest Republican members of Congress have a net worth of $2.5 billion.  They stand to gain from the GOP budget's tax cuts that disproportionately help the rich.  Meanwhile, they're cutting Medicaid and food assistance for millions of their constituents.
