It’s A Barb

When the regime leader deploys unwanted and unneeded federal troops to a city or state because the elected leaders are in a different political party, then that's evidence of a regime that is an opponent of freedom and democracy.

Desperate guttural scream No!!!!!

Which one’s Joan and which one’s Bette?

That any of us have to care about the messy breakup of these two massive narcissists — and that they both individually wield such massive power — is an indictment of our political system and further proves the poisonous influence of Big Money on our democracy.

Pure unadulterated corruption, authoritarianism and fascism all in one statement.

Behind the Curtain: Top AI CEO foresees white-collar bloodbath Hardly anyone is paying attention.

At a time when people are understandably focused on the daily chaos in Washington, these articles describe the rapidly accelerating impact that AI is going to have on jobs, the economy, and how we live.

There is one place, however, where Musk, with the help of his minions, achieved his goals. He did indeed shred U.S.A.I.D. Though a rump operation is now operating inside the State Department, the administration says that it has terminated more than 80 percent of U.S.A.I.D. grants. Brooke Nichols, an associate professor of global health at Boston University, has estimated that these cuts have already resulted in about 300,000 deaths, most of them of children, and will most likely lead to significantly more by the end of the year. That is what Musk’s foray into politics accomplished.

Musk should be asked about this in every interview he does now and forever. To ignore it is a dereliction of duty.

Looks like I will be on 60 Minutes on Sunday. That is me at the end of the clip.👀 www.youtube.com/watch?v=l1ef...

The Public Broadcasting Act of 1967 created the Corporation for Public Broadcasting. I reread it today; nothing in the law allows a president to defund PBS and NPR. In fact, Congress specifically sought to insulate public media from political pressure.

Never ever.

I just finished the season. It was a joy to watch, and a great distraction.

Trump’s tariffs are wreaking havoc on working New Yorkers’ wallets.

We’re taking him to court.

While I’ve been fighting to make life more affordable for New York families, Donald Trump has spent his first 100 days in office hell-bent on making life harder for them.

@governor.ny.gov Campaign like Carney. You’ve got many blu dots in Erie & Niagara Counties. In Lewiston I watch Canadian news. Poilievre had a lock. Trudeau made a brilliant move for the liberal party by putting Carney in charge against the tariff policy. Stand with Pritzker!

Good morning #BlueSky 😁💙

Oh man, somebody get him out of there. He’s crazy.

They want to imprison anyone for burning down a Tesla.

For 20 years.

How much for burning down the stock market?

Name the game. "Those trying to understand the tariffs as economic policy are dangerously naive. No, the tariffs are a tool to collapse our democracy. A means to compel loyalty from every business that will need to petition Trump for relief." - Chris Murphy (read his summary below)
