Groceries are cheaper if you do it the right way. First go to the oval office and give the president a fake award and tell him he's very strong and handsome. He will then call the grocery store and threaten them until they give you a discount. It's called the free market

Welcome to “justice” in Donald Trump’s America.

Welcome to Tesla Capitalism Or: JVL explains why Americans are toying with socialism.

“What is new is the confluence of three trends:

The sheer scale of wealth for the richest.

The untethering of compensation from performance.

The amount of harm these figures are willing to inflict on society.

All three are rising to a dangerously high tide.

Far stupider is their goal.

Musk will make a hundred thousand of these to reach one of his incentives and they’ll all work this well.

Russia presented its human-like AI robot. It fell down as it walked onto the stage.

Voters Ousted This Pennsylvania Sheriff After He Signed Up to Collaborate With ICE - Bolts A populous, swing county replaced its GOP sheriff on Tuesday after months of controversy over his joining ICE’s 287(g) program. The Democratic winner promises he’ll end the contract.

A Republican sheriff in a swing county that Trump won by 0.1% signed a contract to help ICE, then lost last week by 11.

even if his brains weren't soft and full of holes and even if he werent dunning kruger and legendarily incurious you really can't keep electing people who have never had to run a household budget and buy things retail. you can't have people this out of touch running things. it's like a child king

As #COP30 gets underway in Brazil, Robert Muggah — who researches how crime harms the environment — warns that illegal land grabbing, logging, gold mining, wildlife trafficking and toxic dumping are driving 90% of Brazil’s deforestation, fueled by global demand. 🌎

What all this tells any thinking person is that the "president" is a toddler who has to be put back in his playpen repeatedly.

I know, everybody should leave X, but I think an exception should be made solely for Joyce Carol Oates so she can keep wounding Musk's withered soul on his own site and he can't do a thing about it.

What's the over/under on how many weeks it'll be before we find out he's either a rapist or a pedophile?

I do not believe it. But if it's true it shows how ineffective he is and how badly they need to find a replacement for him.

No one won the shutdown, but the Democrats lost their moment.

Why is Trump going after America's air traffic controllers, today of all days?

It's one more way to distract from his decision to increase your health insurance premiums."

Don't Let Democratic Centrists Hijack the Majority With Their Cowardice!

Vichy Democrats decided to betray their party, their base, and Americans fighting for lower healthcare costs based on a bullshit promise by Republicans. Never forget.

There is no center. "Centrists" is a delusional word at this point

Had the same problem with Pandora. I don't bother with their recommendations any more. It's just another example of what tech does to "improve" their products. It's got nothing to do with what you want, it's just about monetizing your ass.

Get rid of Schumer and go look up fight in the dictionary.

This deal to reopen the government is fucking disgraceful.

Tens of millions will lose their healthcare. Trump will be emboldened.

This is exactly what’s wrong with Democratic Party leadership and why we need more people in Congress who will actually hold the line.

Mini Mike Johnson

Hey. I haven’t been poor other than a few years in my college days but I can read and understand basic news items. He just doesn’t want to know anything he doesn’t want to hear.

You ever try to negotiate with an insurance company? I have. That made me laugh out loud.

Are you sure that’s satire?

It is quite clear that some of them never will. FIFY

Though Trump’s pardons can’t extend to state crimes, I think it’s worth pointing out the message being conveyed:

Trump’s allies are alleged to have stolen data from state voting systems in an effort to help him overturn an election he lost.

Now he’s pardoning them for it.

Why These Vichy Dems and Their Spineless Boss Need to Go Now We need courage and clarity from our leaders. Schumer and these eight in the Senate have shown they have failed that test. Time to turn the page.

Time for change in some high places in the Democratic Party if we are to meet the greater challenges of the moment in this country. My latest. www.thedailybeast.com/why-these-vi...

This is a good time to remind people that the similarly overused less lethal weapon tear gas is super dangerous for pregnant people. Every politician that is antiabortion or proclaims wanting to protect children should be vehemently against use of these weapons as crowd control.
