They Haven't Even Started Spending Yet The terrifying math of money in politics.

"Rich people and corporations have not even begun to spend what they are capable of spending in order to buy political influence. If you think that we have too much money in politics now, well, it can get much, much worse."

People are (rightly) focused on gerrymandering, on ICE at polling sites, on elections happening at all. Good. But we also NEED to be safeguarding things like registration, postmark dates on ballots, and certifying results. There are many ways to tamper with an election, and they will try them all.

In an Intense Election Year, New Post Office Rules Could Trip Up Voter Registration - Bolts A change in how mail is postmarked could lead some voters to miss key deadlines, including voter registration. Advocates worry the people most affected will be those already facing voting barriers.

NEW: The USPS changed its rules on how it postmarks ballots.

This may affect elections at every stage at which there's a mail deadline.

An underplayed one: VOTER REGISTRATION.

Many voters who send in their registration forms by mail could be postmarked late, missing out without realizing it.

A thing to keep in mind in the Netflix vs. Paramount bidding war for Warner Bros.

Netflix does not propose to absorb CNN, TNT, TBS. It would spin them off in a new company like Comcast did with MSNBC.

Whereas the Ellisons want to show Trump they can bring CNN to heel, as they have with CBS. Clear?

What a con. Tariff prices were paid by the consumers and we won’t get a refund, but the companies who jacked up prices will (plus interest).

Don't forget Dave

Now that the Dow has fallen well under 50k, we can arrest the pedos, yeah?

Notice each other.
Take care out there, people.

Why are folks not asking more questions about this FBI complaint in the Epstein Files?

imagine how many reporters you could employ for their entire career with just the tax savings from this year.

Pope Leo Will Spend July 4 Visiting Migrant Crossing Island Pope Leo has spoken out against the treatment of migrants in the United States several times over the last year.

JD Vance personally invited Pope Leo to the U.S. 250th celebration on the 4th of July. Today the Vatican announced Leo will be spending the day with migrants instead.

Amazon is paying $1.04 billion less in taxes this year than last, meaning the $40 million bribe Bezos paid via the Melania documentary had a 2600% return on investment.

Hard to pick a favorite part of this video, but these two young women landing punches *at the same time* on the head of the old guy who had their friend in a chokehold was pretty solid.

These are all adult cops escalating into violence against teenagers. Many of the students are now being held by the cops who assaulted them.

“However, reverse causation cannot be ruled out, as some individuals may begin to use cannabis to self-medicate prodromal symptoms of psychiatric disorders even before a diagnosis is made.”

Looks like the dress was redacted too

Oregon’s graduation rate hit 83%, a new record. I am committed to supporting Oregon educators and strengthening student success, ensuring every child has equal opportunity to learn.

I guarantee that as long as Trump is in power, Canadians will not return to travelling to the US in large numbers. It is not just the tariffs. People are being shot in the streets and kidnapped into detention centers according to their skin color. Not the kind of place we want to «holiday».
