Consumer - “AI, summarize ten newsletters on subject X for me.”

Soulless. But highly efficient and informative. At least by all appearances.

Perhaps there won’t be a smoking gun tying Trump to whatever is in the Epstein files. But there sure are a lot of warm shell casings lying around.

How many creative people are stuck in jobs because they or a loved one needs health insurance? They can’t pursue their dream or launch their own company because of this anchor. America misses out on massive amounts of innovation for the profits of a few. This is a fairness and a competitive issue.

Democratic Wins Media (@demwinsmedia) BREAKING: James Talarico went on Joe Rogan and made the best case we've seen for why to be a Democrat. Every American needs to see this.

This is so important. When we fight for the people, we make a difference. For instance, the economy should reflect the priorities and values of the people. The economy should work for the benefit of the people, not the other way around.

Trump is crowing about getting Colbert off the air. Does that nitwit really want to deal with a Colbert unleashed from corporate minders? For a man who has never been careful about what he wished for, he’s really done it this time. Colbert will be fully freed in time for the midterms.

How much of that is going to ranchers and farmers? Probably not much.

Next to Trump and Musk, Shatner and I look like adoring newlyweds.

The Secret Service might want to change the locks on the WH. Even if they get that key from Musk, he probably made duplicates.

I hope Jeff Bezos is sitting down when he reads this. I wouldn’t want him to fall off his yacht. Well, on second thought . . .

Businesses are raising prices after tariffs, even on unaffected goods This could be a sign that companies are using the new tariffs as an excuse to raise prices overall.

Who could have guessed that corporations would use tariffs as an opportunity to raise prices on their non-tariffed products???

Absolutely brilliant excoriation of Americam racism - and some first class cookery along the way...

Dare I say it? This is fucking bananas.

Picture of trump in front of Head start. He’s frowning saying that the kids aren’t worth the investment

"My dad started Head Start. Head Start has changed the lives of millions of families.” - @mariashriver.bsky.social

The cruelty is the point.

Headstart means affordable daycare for low income working families. Take away daycare and someone, usually the mother, in the family has to quit her job to watch the kids. That means less income for the family which means a step closer to poverty, especially if an unexpected cost happens.

They won’t find the workforce let alone the factories. If he’s talking next gen America, that’s 25 years from now. Nonsense.

Trump murders the Voice of America on Fifth Avenue and his voters won’t care.

Sounds like Canada is going on a war prep path.

I'm Kat Abughazaleh and I'm running for Congress.

Is The 2nd American Revolution Beginning ... With Tesla? #ABlueView🧵1/3

The 1st American Revolution began with patriots rejecting Imperial tea.

Xlon wants to make us dependent, obedient cash cows locked into whatever crappy service or product he controls. Anytime someone steps out of line (according to him) he’ll yank their chain and deny service or downgrade whatever crumbs he decides to leave them.

Which is why the GOP has sought for years to destroy it and sell off the pieces.

The secret history of the secret history of the intelligence business I keep reading this story that's going around about a former KGB officer from Kazakhstan who wrote on Facebook that Trump was recruited as a Russian asset during a visit to Moscow in1987.

Truscott is always worth reading. In this post, he’s outlined the damage of Trump/Xlon meat axe cuts to foreign aid and outreach. Who benefits? Not our nation or its people. You can probably guess who. (Hint 🇷🇺 🇨🇳 🇰🇵 🇮🇷 🇭🇺)
