California Poised to Introduce Nation's Strongest Antimonopoly Law With support from ILSR and other allies, California is now one step closer to enacting the strongest antimonopoly law in the country.

Big news out of California. After years of study, the CA Law Revision Commission recommended a major rewrite of state antitrust law — explicitly instructing judges to break with weak federal standards & restore meaningful limits on monopoly power. The legislature often follows the CLRC's guidance.

A hideous, unbelievable insult to our allies, who suffered a full third of the war dead in Afghanistan. And this from a soulless swine who knows everything about using his bone spurs to stay all the way back, entirely off the front lines.

Every day, he shames the United States as a nation.

This is of course completely illegal but it’s also proof positive of how Trump understands tariffs: a way to bully other countries. He enjoys imposing them because he thinks it’s like attacking them and it makes him feel strong. Of course he’s also a fool and he’s just attacking… Americans?

POTUS proposed an overall cut in scientific funding to $154 billion from $198 billion — a plunge of 22%, the largest reduction in federal spending on science since World War II.
This week, the Senate Appropriations Committee largely scraps Trump’s planned cuts.

@zohrankmamdani.bsky.social's vision is an NYC where economic growth & economic justice go hand in hand. That’s only a radical notion because we’ve become so accustomed to economic injustice as the norm.

Doesn’t get better than working with @linamkhan.bsky.social & @saalevine.bsky.social again!

There’s probably a conversation to be had about Congress and the Architect of the Capitol building a new East Wing and expanding the West Wing, while also letting the public visit and see the White House more easily.

At the end of the day, it’s a symbol of our country. It deserves better!

Relentless and shameless advertising of your achievement, dunking on the other guy for being too weak to ever approach your achievement, and holding frequent triumphs until people complain of how sick they are of hearing about it?

This really is grotesque: they went through years-long citizenship processes and are now being denied simply because if the country they are from. It’s formalized bigotry.

Pretty obvious what happened

Team Trump, high on their own supply and sympathetic to Russia, thought they could make Ukraine surrender and declare Trump a glorious peacemaker.

Then they got out of their bubble into reality, embarrassingly flopped, and are now scrambling to lie trying to save face.

‘We Need More Setti Warrens’: IOP Director and Newton Mayor Remembered for Rare Drive to Serve | News | The Harvard Crimson Remembered as a lifelong public servant who dedicated the end of his career to mentorship at the IOP, Setti D. Warren, 55, died of natural causes on Sunday morning, according to his wife, Tassy Warren...

Today, I attended the funeral of Setti Warren, a close mentor of mine. He was just 55. Setti believed in people and in meeting everyone where they are. He believed in America. And he believed in me.

He was a rare, great man. I will miss him more than I can say.

So the official, primary name remains Department of Defense. So just calling it that will remain correct, legally speaking.

This is just an exercise in wholly unenforceable vibes, then. Got it.

Texas has more registered Democrats than Republicans. But Texas has 25 GOP Reps out of 38 and a GOP controlled state government. Cheating is the only way they can hold onto power - Abbott and Trump both know it. We must fight fire with fire, for the sake of democracy everywhere in America.

Kevin Kiley whining about California’s decision to stand up for our democracy

Kevin Kiley whining about California’s decision to stand up for our democracy

Kevin Kiley has been a loyal lapdog for President Trump and his unpopular and illegal agenda all along. Now that the GOP’s aggression against California will have consequences for him personally, suddenly Kevin whines: “not fair!”

Play stupid games, win stupid prizes, Kevin!

Today is the 90th Anniversary of the Social Security Act, on which millions of Americans have relied for a life of dignity and independence in retirement or disability. From that day to this, the GOP has never given up trying to destroy this essential and successful system. We cannot let them do so.
