UK Health Secretary keeps taking donations linked to private health (& gave your NHS data to Palantir)

The latest donations bring the total Streeting has accepted from private health-linked interests since 2015 up to £372,000

“What do those backers think they are getting for their money?"

AI startup Cursor raises $2.3 billion funding round at $29.3 billion valuation Cursor built a popular AI coding tool that helps software developers generate, edit and review code.

Cursor just announced it’s crossed $1B in annualized revenue along with a fundraising round of $2.3B raised at a $29.3B valuation.

Everytime I get impressed by how much AI companies are making, I’m even more blown away by their spending. Still needing to raise money at $1B a year in revenue is wild

A photo of A.J. Brown with a headline in black text over a white background below that says "The Eagles were never going to trade A.J. Brown | Mike Sielski"

There are two kinds of teams that would trade a player like A.J. Brown: bad teams and dumb teams, argues @mikesielski.bsky.social.

My grandma once casually remarked that her mom used to catch wild birds and cook and feed them to their family for dinner.

The reason people think the Democratic Party doesn't actually stand for anything is because it doesn't.

Republicans have trying to get rid of Obamacare since it was passed, and if Democrats were gonna finally let them do?

They shoulda just said that, instead of letting people go without paychecks and food, for nothing.

Republicans and 9 Democrats let the ACA subsidies expire.

Chuck Schumer (performatively voted no, but rallied these 8 yes votes)

Tim Kaine

John Fetterman

Angus King

Jeanne Shaheen

Cortez Masto

Dick Durbbin

Maggie Hassan

Jackie Rosen

Vote them out. And vote against anyone Schumer backs.

We are being led by absolute cowards

They caved in March so they could get a better deal now. They’re caving now so they can get a better deal in some indeterminate future. The better deal is always just beyond their reach, but continuing to cave will get them there. And if you don’t agree with that, you don’t understand Politics,

In a normal democracy, a total collapse of party leadership would result in an no-confidence vote and immediate snap elections to find leaders who can lead

This is really good to see: Miki Sherrill just put out a statement sharply criticizing the Senate Dems' pending cave in the government shutdown, ripping it as "malpractice" and a betrayal of the people who are "counting on us to fight for them." Sherrill knows what drove her victory. Wake up, Dems.

Screenshot of tweet from @matthewstoller reads: "People are under-estimating the savvy of Senate Democrats. If they had lost the elections on Tuesday, they would have had to cave to Trump. But since they won, they had to cave to Trump."

😭😭😭

This morning, I spoke at the SOMOS Labor Breakfast.

"We are not looking to remake New York City in my image. We are looking to remake it in the image of struggling workers across the five boroughs."

I’m full of wine & in my feelings right now, so I’m gonna say this to all of BlackSky:

🫵🏾You…are deserving of love

Not just lust
Or a fuck buddy
Or a sidepiece
Or a fling
Or a bootycall
Or a splackavellie

Real, genuine, reciprocated love.

w/ someone who is as sure about you as you are about them.

If we eliminate the insurance industry because they're bad and evil but we don't have universal healthcare... So what's the plan? Pay out of pocket or die?

A loud reminder that Zohran Mamdani's middle name is KWAME and he was named after Ghana's first president after Independence: KWAME NKRUMAH.

Why are there no Musk Hospitals?

Why are there no Musk cancer research initiatives

Why hasn’t Musk ended world hunger like he said he would in that marketing stunt?

The Price of Silence in Sudan The United Arab Emirates is arming a militia committing genocide in Darfur. In exchange for US silence, Biden got a Middle East partner, and Trump got cryptocurrency cash.

Ukraine facing widespread power cuts after generating capacity reduced to ‘zero’ by Russian attacks

I’ve come to believe that we need to gather considerable forces and a campaign to demand the removal of face masks by ICE, Border Patrol, FBI and police.

It is a practice in conflict with the principles of transparency & accountability that are central to the concept of democracy.

I recall the orange convicted felon once saying people would stand in long lines begging for food if Kamala Harris became President.

Now in 2025 people are seen in Cleveland and other cities standing in long lines for food due to his cruelty.

Endless projection. I hate him.
