But hey, the billionaires and CEOs wouldn't like that very much now, would they?

Maybe someday, this country will be full of people with more balls to stand against the oligarchy. Doesn't seem to be happening these days.

If Congress is going to be in permanent recess, at what point do we start the process of forcibly removing representatives from office?

If they won’t work, they should be removed.

Angus: China controls the critical minerals market. Canada is one of the few countries that can supply a number of these metals…

If we align with China, their economy will continue to grow—and it will mean that China could close the gate on the United States anytime it wants

This. This. This. I had a friend who told me his mother basically kept him and his sisters alive on fast food dollar meals. He said instead of candy the treat was getting an apple. Every year he hands out a candy bar and an apple to each of his trick or treaters.

Why do people buy pizza with EBT?

Because cauliflower is five dollars a head and you can buy five pizzas with the same money.

It’s not that folks don’t want to be healthy. They can’t afford to be healthy.

I wonder if the South American fishermen he's routinely killing would count as "innocent Christians" too, or nah?

OBAMA: “It’s like every day is Halloween… I will admit it’s even worse than I expected — but I did warn y’all. Check the tape.”

Chuck Schumer has refused to endorse Zohran Mamdani, and now refuses to even say he’ll vote for him as Mayor. Just a breathtaking new level of cowardice.

Won’t someone please primary this spineless failure of a leader?

Not a word from the ADL’s Jonathan Greenblatt on Tucker hosting Fuentes. Amazing.

I just checked his Twitter feed and plenty on Mamdani and even Norway (!) but not a word about a top conservative podcaster hosting an infamous Holocaust denier.

Greenblatt is beyond parody at this point.

Sadly unless Lander moves he doesn't live in Jeffries district. He lives in Dan Goldman's district. But oh how I hope there is someone who can win a primary against Jeffries.

Meanwhile, Andrew Cuomo was probably telling a room full of hedge fund managers in Connecticut that Mamdani just doesn't understand the "real New York"

I still find it remarkable that the Queens Democratic Party refused to endorse Zohran Mamdani, the Democratic mayoral nominee who currently represents western Queens.

Every other Democratic county party in NYC – Brooklyn, Manhattan, the Bronx, even Staten Island – endorsed Mamdani.

The Inevitability of Mamdani and The Meltdown of the Establishment

Zohran Mamdani is set to become the first Muslim American mayor of NYC despite an unprecedented smear campaign funded by billionaires and encouraged by Democratic leaders.

Relatedly, it's worth highlighting how outrageous it is that when Trump threatens to punish New York if it elects Mamdani, Cuomo's own impulse is to try to use that to score cheap political points against Mamdani, rather than to call out Trump for the threats. He's all opportunism, all the time.

A deeply insecure unqualified child is in charge of our military because Trump thought he looked like “central casting” when he saw him on Fox, and he knew he is a weak minded fool who will eagerly cater to all Trump’s worst ideas and impulses.

Ok. I needed this today! And yes - I cried heartfelt tears watching it.

“Move to the center” isn’t right, especially not when it means adopting lite versions of the other party’s odious positions.

What a party that lost an election needs is to *capture* the center.

Maybe moving towards the ruling party does that. But sometimes, standing more firmly against them does.

From pursuing law despite the politics to pursuing politics despite the law | Alabama Reflector Alabama once had an attorney general who pursued murderers despite the political risks. Now we have one cheering extrajudicial attacks.

My column this week. Alabama once had an attorney general who pursued the killers of four little girls despite the politics and KKK intimidation. Alabama now has an attorney general who cheers the extrajudicial killings of people on the high seas. It’s a sign of who the current AG thinks he serves.

Give 'em hel Mamdani!

Dems clearly need exciting new talent, and Zohran Mamdani is right there in front of them

Cool that renewables have become the cheapest source of energy in the world just as a bunch of reactionary-centrist US pundits have taken up the right-wing "climate vs. cheap energy" framing.

The Firewall Against Nick Fuentes Is Crumbling The white-supremacist influencer is entering the MAGA mainstream.

America has no idea what's about to hit them. "Young Republicans" are fully steeped in neo-Nazi edge lord talking points. Fuentes is the present and future of the GOP. After Trump, this is the new form of MAGA. The establishment isn't built for this fight.

genuinely crazy-making how much the national press is indifferent to the verifiable fact that jd vance is buddy buddy with internet nazis, and the degree to which this is almost certainly a form of solidarity among people with a similar institution pedigree

Checking in for an update on the 2025 Republican Party …

LOL.
