Congress eliminated public media funding. At a time of deep division, public media brings us together.

There has been dueling research for decades concerning the health benefits versus risks of alcohol consumption. Just wait another six months and another study will affirm the benefits of moderate drinking. Salut!

As the federal govt considers β€œinvestigating” ActBlue, I can report that i sat through meeting where they literally patterned their version of it, called WinRed as identical. They even follow me (screenshot for when they unfollow in a panic soon:

Slouching Towards Tyranny On a dark hour for the American right.

The underlying assumption, held by leaders across the political spectrum, is that appealing to America’s loftiest ideals for reasons unrelated to partisan advantage is for suckers.

We reject that premise.

A New Golden Age for Bootleggers Canada’s ultimate retaliation for Trump’s tariffs will be the cross-border smuggling of cheaper goods by Americans.

Trump voters feeling bitter
β€˜Cause the market’s in the shitter.

See? I’m a poet and don’t know it.
Although my feet show it.
They’re *longfellows.*
Just trying to keep folks amused while their 401Ks go down the drain.
Trump is like honeybadger: He don’t give a shit.

I heard about the uninhabited islands Trump’s tariffs include. Did he impose a tariff on Gilligan’s Island? Are we going to have to pay 20 percent more for coconut radios?

Steve Witkoff’s Art of the Deal Inside the State Department, Witkoff’s elevation has some wondering if the billionaire and longtime Trump homie has become shadow secretary of state.

Marco Rubio is already sidelined at the Department of State.

So, he'll be reduced to the diplomatic weddings-and-funerals detail.

Sad!

Don’t Let Trump Fool You, He Was Never Exonerated His re-election doesn’t change the damning evidence of his crimes.

Republicans have launched a propaganda campaign to pretend that Trump was "exonerated" and that the FBI are the bad guys.

It's a lie. His record is 34 convictions in one case, 4 guilty pleas from co-defendants in another, two unfinished prosecutions, and zero acquittals. lnk.thebulwark.com/41vcqGn
