All I can think about is Jeff Bezos saying that he slashed jobs at the Washington Post — including those of foreign correspondents in the Middle East — based on "the data," and a few weeks later a whole war breaks out in the Middle East that these laid off folks would have covered as true experts.

Sending this around again in case anyone missed it. I have a feeling this will become a big piece of this puzzle if Thiels obsession with Armageddon plays a part.

Texas republicans just pissed off a ton of voters by shutting down county wide voting in Dallas, and blocking the polls staying open until 9.

While the McDonald’s CEO gets roasted for his awkward burger taste test...

McDonald’s is among the top employers of workers who rely on food stamps.

And McDonald's CEO recently raked in $18.2M — over 1,000x the company's median employee pay.

That should leave a bad taste in your mouth.

North Carolina, we're officially on the road to November 3rd.

There’s no doubt — we’ve got our work cut out for us. But North Carolinians have always given me hope and that’s what’s going to get us across the finish line.

So in TX, the State never updated election info after redistricting so some voters voted in the wrong location.

Nothing fishy about this..........

😳😳😳

I need to remind people. The midterms have never been so important.

Don't let people use scare tactics or make you think it won't happen.

also if voting didn't matter gerrymandering wouldn't exist.

No matter what Trump says or does, I always find at least a little peace in knowing he will be remembered as the worst president the United States has ever had. And there is nothing he can do to stop that.

We don't talk enough about how truly pathetic Sen. Lindsey Graham is. Trump's little parrot, squawking whatever propaganda and dangerous rhetoric he's fed on any given day. He has no original thoughts, no spine, and no shame.

Seems like the media should at least express some curiosity about this.

Many Americans are stuck and scared across the Middle East right now. Where is this administration? Where was the preparation to get these folks to safety? Do they think through anything?

GOP politicians have done both Trump and America a disservice by being such wimps to him.

Trump attacks a Republican politician. Or his wife. And then they endorse him. Or come work for him.

This has trained Trump to not expect foes to fight back.

The rest of the world doesn’t work like that.

You couldn't make this shit up.

Bernie's new billionaire wealth tax would raise $4.4T from the super-rich over the next decade.

That's more than enough to reverse Trump's Medicaid cuts, raise teacher pay, make childcare affordable, and build millions of affordable homes.

And guess what? The super-rich will still be super rich.

Donald Trump is using taxpayer funds to bomb Iran while he jacks up health care costs by thousands of dollars.
