Lots of people sharing this clip because it's funny and cathartic but I also genuinely believe it's important.

We have to win the narrative battle between "I live in a corrupt society and that's just how it is" and "I live in a corrupt society and we are going to defeat and humiliate these ghouls."

I miss the days when Obama could just post his summer playlist instead of dire warnings.

It shouldn't get lost that just today, Senate Republicans have voted to close nursing homes, close rural hospitals, and cut food stamp benefits for children and veterans.

Considering the other bits of technology he predicted in F451, I’d be surprised if he didn’t.

If someone is arguing against due process, just ask them if they believe someone is innocent until proven guilty. It's the same thing.

Hegseth Said to Have Shared Attack Details in Second Signal Chat The defense secretary sent sensitive information about strikes in Yemen to an encrypted group chat that included his wife and brother, people familiar with the matter said.

"Unlike the chat in which The Atlantic was included, the newly revealed one was created by Hegseth. Named β€œDefense | Team Huddle,” it included his wife and about a dozen other people.... He used his private phone, not his government one, to access the Signal chat."

Morrisey says his budget proposal fully funds essential services. But there’s plenty of need left on the table. While the proposal maintains current funding levels, there is no money for hundreds of millions of dollars of needs

β€œWith no new money coming in, long-term issues are still going unaddressed, said Sean O’Leary”

Immigrant advocates say the directive threatens to leave children and teenagers who benefit from the federal funds to navigate the immigration court system on their own at a time when the Trump administration is working to increase deportations.β€©β€œWhat this is going to do is really leave children vulnerable to exploitation and to further abuse,” Shaina Aber, executive director of the Acacia Center for Justice, said in an interview Tuesday. The program ensures β€œchildren are provided with the legal knowledge and representation they need to have their rights protected.”

I love that the Associated Press is keeping Trump awake at night by refusing to go with his idiotic "Gulf of America" bullshit.

Jasmine Crockett: "The problem is that Americans thought it was okay to take a full fledged criminal and make him the President of the US and then they want to act aghast when he does criminal things. Let me tell you, we have a thug in charge of the US and if we don't wake up we may not have a US"

News headline about RFK Jr. admitting he did not disclose earnings from his anti-vaccine nonprofit, with an image of RFK Jr. in a suit against a colorful background of money, syringes, and vaccine vials.

RFK, Jr. claimed his anti-vax work was a labor of love that cost him friendships. He said he’d never made money from it. But now he admits he made (checks notes) $1.2 million from it. How do you β€œforget” about that much money?

Right-wing Supreme Court Justices are taking bribes from billionaires with cases before SCOTUS.

SCOTUS ruled that bribing the elected officials who write the laws and could hold them accountable is legal as long as they’re called β€œgratuities.”

This is what an oligarchy looks like.
