Do… do you think I’m an elected official lmao

Tell Congress: Fully investigate the Epstein case Contact Congress today!

If you agree that Congress shouldn’t be covering for Jeffrey Epstein, here’s a chance to tell them how you feel:

I looked at some of these posts.

But the whole set makes it worse.

There's no reason to believe Dan Richman was "at FBI" during any of the targeted media sourcing.

Damn. I missed Josh Shapiro tearing JD Vance a new one yesterday

CARTOON OF THE DAY

Karp is pathetic and cowardly and deserves every bit of opprobrium the rest of the bar can bestow upon him.

I censor myself on here a lot— not because I am afraid of the repercussions but because if I actually let all my rage run wild it would burn down everything in near proximity.

It’s the needless suffering and the total lack of empathy from our leaders that just really makes me want to breathe fire.

Palantir CEO Karp twice slams short sellers as stock suffers worst week since April Palantir CEO Alex Karp twice confronted short sellers this week as the company's shares suffered a double-digit drop.

Alex Karp and Peter Thiel are two of the worst people on this planet running one of the most evil companies to ever exist—we should do whatever we can to make Palantir go bankrupt.

His "concept" of a Healthcare Plan is finally revealed. It involves eliminating the Insurance Industry & people purchasing their OWN, MUCH BETTER, HEALTHCARE. Unrelated, note his obsessive envy of Obama, historically rated 1 of our finest presidents, who he still believes was born in Kenya.

Senate Democrats are fighting to make sure you can go to the doctor without breaking the bank.

Washington Republicans are fighting for a party of one: Donald Trump.

This morning, I spoke at the SOMOS Labor Breakfast.

"We are not looking to remake New York City in my image. We are looking to remake it in the image of struggling workers across the five boroughs."

Chris Coons: "He's not listening to concerns about lowering costs. Instead he's worried about decorating his new Marie Antoinette ballroom or engaging in trying to figure out how to get his name on more statues and stadiums, or he's sitting across the table in the Oval Office with authoritarians."

Saturday night “Hey Ed” series

I’ve come to believe that we need to gather considerable forces and a campaign to demand the removal of face masks by ICE, Border Patrol, FBI and police.

It is a practice in conflict with the principles of transparency & accountability that are central to the concept of democracy.

One of the unacknowledged advantages of this awful era is that it's revealing for all to see the putrid connections between great wealth and great power.

The intentions of the oligarchs are fully exposed and more blatant than ever.

But remember: We outnumber the oligarchs.

There is zero excuse for police, in a free society, to wear a mask.

Cowards

My Father’s Flag and the Idea of America Over decades, across continents, and through harrowing experiences, my family held on to this bit of cloth as a reminder of everything they believed in—and were running toward.

"My father knew, as my mother did, that he would have been punished mercilessly, maybe tortured to death, if that flag had been discovered. So he had to hide it. He kept it with him for the rest of his life. At his funeral, my mother gave it to me."

Trying to figure out what #SCOTUS just did with #SNAP, and why Justice Jackson temporarily froze the district court's ruling?

Via "One First," me on what's going on—and why I think Jackson's move was savvy, notwithstanding the awful circumstances that forced it:

Buried in the Big Beautiful Bill were changes to food assistance that demanded “any future change be cost-neutral. Translation: no more benefit increases, even if food prices skyrocket.”

The result was “institutionalized hunger.”
