Happy birthday! A trip to MoMA sounds like a perfect way to celebrate, even if it’s a day late.
5/ And on the Strait of Hormuz, they had NO PLAN. I can't go into more detail about how Iran gums up the Strait, but suffice it say, right now, they don't know how to get it safely back open.
Which is unforgiveable, because this part of the disaster was 100% foreseeable.
A total hardliner. Whose father, mother, wife, and son we just killed.
There's something deeply obscene and broken about the fact that Donald Trump and Pete Hegseth are bombing elementary schools in an illegal war of aggression, and there's still a sense among the opposition that it has to be explained in terms of gas prices in order to get American voters to care.
PEPFAR, the program to stop hundreds of thousands of children and adults from dying of HIV/AIDS, was $6.5 billion a year.
WHY IS EVERY PAPER ON EARTH USING SCHUMER’S PICTURE WHEN HE LOST ON A PARTY-LINE VOTE??
THUNE IS THE FACE OF THIS, NOT SCHUMER.
I MEAN, COME ON.
A US submarine sinking a lonely, dinky Iranian surface ship an ocean away from the theater of the main conflict—and 9000
miles from North America—makes it pretty clear the US is fighting a general war, without the declaration required by the Constitution. www.reuters.com/world/asia-p...
that even a single Democrat is doing anything other than raising hell in opposition to this is, again, baffling to me. all they do is follow populism... until extremely unpopular things happen, at which point they line up in support!?
The Party of Lincoln now believes in a government of the predators, by the predators, and for the predators
So SCOTUS, with its fabricated-out-of-thin-air immunity doctrine, has actually made American presidents less accountable than LITERAL royalty.
UK: Prince Andrew arrested.
South Korea: Former President Yoon sentenced for life.
Brazil: Former President Bolsonaro serving a 27-year sentence.
USA: President Trump demands $10 billion payout from taxpayers.
NY Times somehow avoided calling this a “stumble”
Sometimes I get a little upset when I live in a collapsing dystopia for many years
Is it good or bad that an agency that is technically involved in law enforcement is using ideas from the serial killer playbook?
I spoke to folks in Minnesota this morning. Much of the press coverage has disappeared, but the violence continues unabated.
Just because Bovino isn't there running tear gas parties does not mean they've stopped attacking Minnesotans. Please pay attention!!
I've written about the overarching post story, causes, underlying pattern. But the failure of Lewis or Bezos to even show up, literally or figuratively, on a day of devastating cuts epitomizes the profound lack of character and accountability that is so common place today within the American elite.
it should be assumed any incumbent Democrat is pro-ICE unless they publicly come out in favor of removing their caucus leadership at this point
Gallego getting Bessent to just say that taxpayers will pay Trump $10 billion if he wins is why most Trump officials who testify just berate the senators instead.
can't help but think there is probably a corrosive effect of having sex trafficker-elite emails unveiled for months on end as one of the biggest cultural/news stories of the last year— unearthing an inexcusable moral rot in the upper echelons of power—but without any real accountability/justice
Really nuts how many men were like "Me Too went too far, and I need to email Jeffrey Epstein about it."
I think it's best for everyone to understand that the unified class project of billionaires right now is to do to white collar workers what globalization and neoliberalism did to blue collar workers.
the $75 million Jeff Bezos set on fire for that Melania propaganda piece could have funded most independent newsrooms for literally decades
always bears repeating that this is NOT a financial decision. jeff bezos is worth over 250 billion dollars. he can afford to lose many millions and never even notice it. this is, at its core, a political and personal decision by bezos to destroy the post
A brief, recent history of the Washington Post:
1- Trump wins in 2024.
2- Bezos and minions make series of Trump-friendly changes to paper.
3-Readership tanks.
4- Bezos and minions fire tons of employees while telling them the audience just doesn't like what they're doing.
Bezos isn't destroying the Washington Post because it isn't profitable. He's destroying the Washington Post because he's calculated that a robust free press threatens the ability of his class to warp society around their interests
I’m so sorry that your pre-flight entertainment was canceled! Hopefully you can find another show :)
This is a great example of what Marx called "the vampire thirst for the living blood of labour."
The Illinois Department of Public Health sidestepped the federal government this week by independently joining the WHO’s Global Outbreak Alert and Response Network (GOARN). It is the second state to do so, after California joined the network last month. trib.al/0ecIsxF
