NEW study from the nonpartisan Center for American Progress, by 2027, Trump’s tariffs and policies under his Big, Beautiful Bill will have decreased the incomes of all *but* the top 1% of American households—which will be $5,000 richer.

“AI is the greatest way to aggregate human knowledge.”

Also:

“When the AI fails to give the answer that a lone racist Afrikaner wants it to, it’ll be retrained to mirror his racist views.”

I’d like to say it’s shocking, but it’s pretty much what he promised he’d do.

"As of the end of August, the whereabouts of two-thirds of more than 1,800 men detained at Alligator Alcatraz during the month of July could not be determined by the Miami Herald."

There is no world in which it is normal for the president to publicly call upon his attorney general to hurry up and prosecute his political foes. It’s like the Watergate tapes but posted on social media. Let’s get a grip on what’s happening here.

This clear declaration that Trump views the DOJ to be an entity designed to impose his political retribution - alongside the clear evidence that it is already being used in this way - is impeachable.

This is a fair point.

GOP calls it freedom. Let’s be clear. Their “freedom” is for billionaires to loot the country while everyone else pays price. Every single policy is a stick-up: they cut from you to give to the wealthy. Let’s walk through the ugliest examples. #Voices4Victory #DemVoice1 #USDemocracy #ProudBlue

This won’t be trickling down.

Next time someone on the right claims all the political violence in this country is coming from the left, not the right, do please show them this.

You're welcome

Defense Bill Opens Door To Guns-For-Hire At The Border The must-pass legislation that just passed the House would, for the first time, allow the Pentagon to send private military contractors to the border.

🚨BIG NEWS: Republicans just quietly added a line to a defense bill that would empower the Pentagon and Pete Hegseth to deploy armed private mercenaries inside the U.S. at the southern border for the first time in American history.

If someone’s not mourning the death of Robert Redford in a manner that’s consistent with your views, make sure you set up a database, call their employer, and get them fired.

If this became a weekly series, it would run longer than The Simpsons.

I’ve heard military law experts advise, if you are given an illegal command as a soldier, do not blindly obey. Call your attorney. Obeying an illegal command can result in a court martial.

Has anyone else noticed that he is usually just parked behind the Resolute Desk these days?

In the second theater of conflict, the MAGA movement is waging war on the nation’s economic future, rejecting two generations of integration and interdependency with the rest of the world in favor of American autarky, of effectively closing our borders to goods and people from around the world so that the United States might make itself into an impenetrable fortress — a garrison state with the power to dictate the terms of the global order, especially in its own hemisphere. In this new world, Americans will abandon service-sector work in favor of manufacturing and heavy industry. “This is the new model,” the secretary of commerce, Howard Lutnick, said in an interview with CNBC last month, “where you work in these kind of plants for the rest of your life and your kids work here and your grandkids work here.” The reality is that this particular campaign — this effort to de-skill the working population of the United States — is more likely to immiserate the country and impoverish its residents than it is to inaugurate a golden age of prosperity.

Words cannot adequately describe what a colossal disappointment our mainstream media has been during our slow descent into authoritarianism.

We shouldn’t trust a thing that lying sex trafficker says, all so she can get an easier sentence or even a pardon.

Meiselas: Stop both-sidesing it, media. Stop trying to sow division within the Democratic Party when we literally have military invasions into American cities, aided and abetted by red state governors, who, again, are the takers who wouldn't exist without the blue states

Every dictator in history has claimed that they’ll only use their powers to go after the worst of the worst.

Every dictator in history has lied.

Donald Trump is no different.

SCOTUS thought they could ride the tiger and get what they wanted ideologically. In exchange, they would give him everything he wanted except the Fed. Just leave the Fed alone and you can ignore all federal law. But it ended the same way it has for everyone who tried to ride the tiger since 2016.

Aside from anything else, it is a national emergency that the president of the United States has lost his mind.

"Only when the last tree has been cut, the last river has been poisoned & the last fish been caught will they realize that they can't eat money" old Cree proverb

So the guy who wants the Nobel Peace Prize and claims to end wars wants to call the DoD the War Department?

Mmmkay.
