The most unbelievable thing about the Progressive “stop young homeowners from turning into their parents” commercials is acting like young people in this country can afford a house.

If I were running the DNC, there would be Democratic Party sponsored food relief banks across the country right now that specifically welcomed anyone regardless of party affiliation.

Along with the food, there could be voter registration and links to runforsomething.net

The bailout would deliver a major windfall to Rob Citrone, a billionaire hedge fund manager with significant investments in Argentina. “Bessent’s personal and professional relationship with Citrone has spanned decades,” according to independent journalist Judd Legum.

When the term was coined, cars were mostly steel and often the damage could be repaired. Today’s autos have mostly aluminum and plastic to save weight, improve fuel economy. Those often cannot be repaired; body panels must be replaced, hiking costs. More cars are now “totaled” after fender benders.

Pope Leo blasts economy that marginalizes poor while wealthy live in bubble of luxury Pope Leo XIV has blasted how wealthy people live in a “bubble of comfort and luxury” while the poor suffer.

Pope Leo XIV has blasted how wealthy people live in a “bubble of comfort and luxury” while the poor suffer. In his first teaching document Thursday, Leo confirms that he is in perfect lockstep with Pope Francis on matters of social injustice.

Seriously. 🙄

It’s amazing that Dems don’t see that their base has totally lost confidence in leadership and therefore some heads need to roll in leadership to restore confidence *even if* behavior does not significantly change. It’s genuinely elitism.

Newsom: "I fear that we will not have an election in 2028 -- I really mean that in the core of my soul -- unless we wake up to the code red, what's happening in this country, and we wake up soberly to how serious this moment is."

WTAF?!?

If someone tells you there's nothing we can do about gun violence beyond thoughts and prayers, remind them:

—Gun laws in other countries have prevented mass shootings
—More guns don't make us safer
—A majority of Americans want gun reform

We don't have to live like this.

Obviously, prayer has failed to stop or even stem the scourge of mass shootings in the U.S. Ben Franklin said, “God helps those who help themselves.” We need to rein in firearms and ammo sales. Then put a dollop of prayer on top.

Those of us who remember May 4, 1970 and the fatal shootings at Kent State University know from bitter experience that arming National Guard can/does lead to killing. If there’s a full scale riot going on, or looting after a natural disaster, then using armed NG *may* be justified. Otherwise, no.

"To the members of the press who are assembled here today and listening across the country – I am asking for your courage to tell it like it is. This is not a time to pretend here that there are two sides to this story."

Governor JB Pritzker

KILMAR IN BALTIMORE: “Never lose hope. Promise me you’ll continue fight for freedom — not just for me, for everybody.”

He was just taken into ICE custody.

American Companies Are Buying Their Own Stocks at a Record Pace Buybacks are expected to top $1.1 trillion in 2025, led by big banks and tech firms

Stock buybacks are corporate theft. They are the result of surplus value not being given back to labor. They should be illegal. #Econsky

If you’re wondering how ICE recruitment and training is going under Kristi Noem—South Park already nailed it.

If you don't already, watch Colbert. He is a man with no more f*cks left to give. And it's glorious.

Check out this song parody from last night's show: Mike Johnson Delays House Epstein Vote Until September

The worst chief justice of all time Move over, Roger Taney and Melville Fuller.

New in PN: The worst chief justice of all time

"American history has no shortage of legendarily bad chief justices and disgraceful decisions. But John Roberts has overseen the wholesale corruption and capture of the Supreme Court, and history should look back on his tenure with revulsion."

We are becoming worse than Nazis. Sure, we haven’t started killing millions of people just because of who they are. Yet.

I have been embarrassed to be an American for a while now. Now I am ashamed. 6/6

We are already beginning to hear of people dying in custody of ICE, and we’ve seen photographs of prisoners shackled, heads shaved, and kneeling in submission while Homeland Security Secretary Kristi Noem prances around in tight fitting tops, tresses flowing, and flaunts her Rolex. 5/6

And, lest anyone thinks that this is not as bad as the Nazis, that the first camps were not death camps originally. Dachau was built in 1933 as a prison camp for Jews, Roma, homosexuals, communists, socialists, & trade unionists. People died from mistreatment, starvation, disease, and violence. 4/6

The Republican Party and especially Florida Governor DeSantis show that they lack even the slightest bit of shame over their hateful policies. Less than that of the Nazis, the modern world’s ultimate bad guys. 3/6

Even the Nazis knew that what they were doing in the Holocaust was shameful and evil. They never sold (the best of my knowledge) Auschwitz merch or Bergen Belsen souvenirs. Indeed, they went to great lengths to hide what they were doing. Because even they knew it was horribly wrong. 2/6

Have We No Shame?

The advertising online for souvenirs and other merchandise celebrating the new concentration camp opening in the Florida Everglades is a disgusting new low for the Трамп maladministration. 1/6
