I am so angry. It’s money I need as a disabled woman. And yet I knew they would side with him

Trump administration in disarray: USDA complies with a federal court order while DOJ takes its desire to withhold food from Americans all the way to SCOTUS.

Obscene. Why are we tolerating this extremity of wealth inequality? Something has to give—or be forced.

The US has gone WAY too far in terms of the privatization of certain goods and services that should be public programs and utilities.

NO private individual should be in control of whether or not we continue space exploration or of our access to satellite services.

We need a MAJOR correction.

I think a lot about the story Carl Reiner told: he’d have been a sewing machine repairman if not for a free WPA drama class. That led to other theater work, to Sid Caesar, to Mel Brooks, and all the rest. All because of one free class paid for by a government that felt the arts were worth teaching.

Paramount Has Blacklist for Stars Deemed “Overtly Antisemitic” — World of Reel It sure looks like the likes of Javier Bardem, Joaquin Phoenix, Emma Stone, and Mark Ruffalo won’t be making movies for Paramount in the foreseeable future.

Under new head of Paramount David Ellison, the studio has drawn up a list of actors who opposed the Gaza genocide and will not allow them to appear in its films and TV shows.

Does this sound familiar?

Also, "Ellison is reportedly aiming to take over Warner Bros. next."

Hell, I’d vote for someone advocating to nationalize his companies. SpaceX at least.

This is what authoritarian regimes do to cover their tracks.

If you don't pay a proper salary for public office, the only people you get occupying public office are the already rich who are there to ensure they stay that way and you never get there

Mike never misses

Meanwhile many of us haven’t seen any of our benefits at all for November

US layoff announcements have hit a two-decade high, CNN reports.

Quite the achievement for an economy that was booming under Biden.

I feel like the Hungary angle is getting missed in all this.

Tucker Carlson is, at the very least, a champion for Hungary and everything it stands for (and probably even more than that). So you defend Tucker not (just) because of the antisemitism but bc it's part of your organizational mission.

Hi folks we're at about $600 so 1/3 of where we need to be give or take

Let's see if we can get a miracle tonight please and thanks

Because of the Trump shutdown, the United States has closed the dining facility at Fort Leavenworth in Kansas and told US troops stationed in Germany to seek supplies from German food pantries.

All while Trump maintains threats of military action against multiple US cities and foreign countries.

Germany:

Air Pollution From Industrial Facilities Is Far Worse Than Estimated The Trump administration has put a stop to EPA rules that would have required more than 130 industrial facilities to install air monitors to measure pollution. Millions of people living near these pla...

Our analysis of EPA air monitoring data shows that companies have far underestimated the pollution caused by their facilities.

At a U.S. Steel plant outside Pittsburgh, monitors found benzene levels 37 times higher than estimated emissions.

grok, do soldiers historically remain reliable if they go hungry?

TX-18 is a congressional seat left vacant after the death of Sylvester Turner at the age of 70. Before that it was temporarily filled by Erica Lee Carter, following the death of her mother, Sheila Jackson Lee, at the age of 74.

It is a majority Black and Hispanic district.

"These economic royalists complain that we seek to overthrow the institutions of America," Roosevelt thundered. "What they really complain of is that we seek to take away their power. Our allegiance to American institutions requires the overthrow of this kind of power. In vain they seek to hide behind the flag and the Constitution. In their blindness they forget what the flag and Constitution stand for. Now, as always, they stand for democracy, not tyranny; for freedom, not subjugation; and against dictatorship by mob rule and the over-privileged alike."

Accepting the 1936 nomination, FDR made a speech the language of which Zohran Mamdani mirrored last night:

“These economic royalists complain that we seek to overthrow the institutions of America. What they really complain of is that we seek to take away their power.“

This is Democratic language.

Barack Obama @BarackObama Follow Congratulations to all the Democratic candidates who won tonight.

Barack Obama congratulated Democrats generally. Bill and Hillary Clinton congratulated Zohran Mamdani specifically.

The last posts on the X accounts of Joe Biden and Kamala Harris are ones expressing grief about the death of Dick Cheney.

In case anyone was wondering.

Conyers, Georgia elected their first Black mayor:
