Jeff Bezos Is $24 Billion Richer As Amazon Shares Hit Record Amazon reported earnings and revenues that surpassed Wall Street’s expectations.

I am motivated by the fact that I don’t think any president should get a blank check to murder as many people as he wants with zero oversight based on his opinion that they were transporting drugs without due process or proof presented to anyone. Jesus would agree with me. bsky.app/profile/atru...

Graham Platner’s Senate campaign keeps imploding.

His national finance director just quit - and big donors are angry they funded a candidate whose scandals blew up after they paid.

If anyone left on the campaign wants a future in politics, the smartest move is to get out NOW.

Meiselas: Right now, this idea of the bully has been glorified, and we have to disabuse people of that notion and say, “Nah, that’s weakness.” Stop blaming your problems marginalized groups.

We have to proudly support communities that have been under attack—’cause they’re human beings, dammit.

Interesting that his point of reference for beneficiaries who supposedly are the ones ripping off SNAP is people with hair weaves. bsky.app/profile/atru...

Can Sec. Noem look at Goerge Retes, Lenardo Vanegas, and 170+ U.S. citizens in the eye and lie to their face?

We’ve read the reports, heard the stories, and seen the videos. Americans citizens, including children, are being illegally detained.

This is the racial profiling dragnet we warned about.

something under discussed is the fact that white house renovations are currently being spearheaded by someone with famously bad interior design taste

AOC is right. As usual.

Much like the “We need more EV’s now!” crowd, folks critical of cars act like there isn’t an infrastructure deficiency for the majority of people in North America that forces them to either own a (gas powered) car or be impoverished. It’s a massively privileged take.

Me and almost everyone else I know talking about car dependency On Here shout about this exact issue all the time. We all want to change this, which includes advocating for better public transit.

(NB: It's also a fact that many people are in debt *because* they need to own cars)

Legislature sets stage for Illinois to become a ‘right-to-die’ state as bill narrowly passes The bill now goes to Gov. JB Pritzker. The governor’s office did not return a request for comment about whether Pritzker backs the legislation.

Satellite images and multiple reports indicate that a major U.S. Navy carrier, the USS Iwo Jima, along with several destroyers, has been positioned in the Caribbean region, apparently in preparation for potential strikes on Venezuela.

I write my Republican congressman every week or so…

Medicare for All would save $450B a year.

Every dollar spent on food stamps generates $1.50-$1.80 in economic activity.

Each dollar going to low-wage workers adds $1.20 to the economy overall.

It’s not about what this country can or can’t afford.

It’s about priorities.

wait but Speaker Johnson said there was no contingency fund? 🤷🏼

Project 2025 chapter 10 page 299 or so discusses eliminating SNAP

Temporary restraining order cover page

BREAKING: A judge just issued a court order in our case requiring the USDA to use contingency funds to keep SNAP going during the ongoing federal government shutdown.

The White House must now let the court know by EOD Monday how they plan to move forward with funding SNAP.

More than 47 million Americans — including one in five children — don’t have reliable, affordable access to nutritious food. And as the cost of living skyrockets, more families are depending on SNAP benefits, or food stamps, to put food on the table.

Kristi Noem is obsessing about how "unsafe" foreign truckers are.
What about HER decade of 20 speeding tickets, 3 failures to stop, a citation for driving without a license, and 6 failures to appear?

This is like an entire state committing suicide.

David Brooks: "If you want a policy change, go to the voters. Don't shut down the government. ... Our democracy has deteriorated to such a degree [that] there should be howling outrage."

Popok: The blue states and cities effectively brought the cases. The red states are suffering, and their AGs are sitting on the sidelines. There’s no red state that brought a case. Think about that: not one red state attorney general brought a case to help prevent starvation and suffering. None.

Mike Johnson: "With Medicaid, we eliminated the fraud, waste, and abuse. We got able-bodied young men without dependents off the program. They were never intended to be there. They're sitting around on their couches playing video games. Yes, that's an actual study."

I'm interviewing former Federal Trade Commission head Lina Khan on Substack live at 4:00. Very excited about this. Have wanted to talk to her about antitrust issues for years.
