Another big endorsement for Andrew Cuomo. And it only cost $959 million in tax breaks.

why it's almost like there's a concerted assault on informed consensus by extraction class owned media conglomerates to replace what was left of U.S. political journalism with lazy controversy hounding infotainment and right wing and corporatist agitprop

Trump deported Iranian Christians with open asylum claims for religious persecution four weeks ago.

He expelled other Iranian Christians, including children, to Panama in February.

Like North Korea with Kim Jong Un, it will soon be illegal to hate Donald Trump.

Trump Accuses Judges in Food Stamps Ruling of Being Biased Against Starvation

When it comes to murdering fishermen on the high seas, Donald is lawless and careless, but when it comes to finding excuses not to feed Americans, he's a precise bureaucrat, obsessed with following the law.

OK, regardless of source, credit where due: That's a great headline.

JD Vance says his wife isn't a Christian.

At least they have that in common.

We don't cast off one segment of society to save ourselves. It's a betrayal of everything we're trying to defend. It's a cowardly kind of self-preservation.

If your plan for escaping this bank robbery involves deliberately killing a few of our fellow hostages, maybe sit this chat out for a while?

Amazon is helping fund a $300 million build of a ballroom for the White House.

Independent bookstores are donating to food banks and organizations that help with food insecurity.

They are not the same.

Fentanyl and coke are the new “weapons of mass destruction” lie. It’s Iraq all over again, folks. It’s always about controlling the oil.

And I would like to challenge this person to get a real job

Guillermo del Toro quote "...think about wealth for me for example. A wealthy man that has enough..."

"not a man that needs more. If you have enough to invite somebody to beer..."

"...you're rich. If you have, whatever-"

Guillermo del Toro on wealth: "a wealthy man is a man who has enough, not a man that needs more. If you have enough to invite someone for a beer? You're rich. If you have a yacht, planes, islands, and you still need more? You're not rich."
