#shakeyourclz The DC mystery books, especially those edited by Joe Orlando, are usually a pleasant diversion. This one evidently has some rare interior work by Mike Kaluta.

Our Economy Is in Danger. Here’s Why
Robert Reich Our Economy Is in Danger. Here’s Why

Around 70% of the U.S. economy depends on consumer spending. As wealth concentrates in the richest 10%, the rest of America can’t afford to buy enough to keep the economy running.

This is a huge problem β€” and even America’s most powerful CEOs are starting to sound the alarm.

@60minutes.bsky.social what wasn't mentioned was all the books Anthropic illegally scraped. The desire to blackmail likely came from all those crime fiction stories used as input. Take that where you will.

This should alarm everyone.

On Thursday, Florida, by unanimous vote, became the first state in the country to adopt β€œThe Phoenix Declaration: An American Vision for Education.”
It was written by the Heritage Foundation, the same group behind Project 2025.

THIS IS INDOCTRINATION

KARL: The president claims that Thanksgiving costs are down 25%. Does he know that's not true?

HASSETT: Well if you look at Walmart--

KARL: Wait a minute. I've gotta stop you. The Walmart package this year contains much less than the one last year. That's why the price is less.

I just don’t see how we can pretend even for a moment that anything involving our federal government is remotely normal when the president is covering up his involvement in a child sex trafficking ring. Like, what are we doing here

You would think that the 8 GOP Senators who are SO OUTRAGED that Jack Smith subpoenaed their phone records that they want $1 million compensation would bring him in to testify IN A PUBLIC HEARING to explain why he did this. But no, they don’t want to do that. I wonder why?

Republicans are scrambling to cover up the Epstein file, but we say anyone involved in Epstein's billion-dollar child sex trafficking ring must be brought to justiceβ€”whether Republicans, Democrats or, yes, even presidents.

A tile with well-preserved surface impressions: three distinct outline of shoes with hobnail patterns in the center, a animal paw prints nearby, and a rectangular maker's stamp with worn lettering and an imprint of a foot. And finger lines.
The tile surface shows additional small impressions and chips.

From street marches to court battles to the ballot box - we’ve challenged the power of this exceptionally unpopular president.

The lesson from each success we've had is that we need to ramp the political pressure up, always up, not back down, now more than ever.
