America has never been broke. It’s just violently anti-poor. Troops in LA cost $134M — the price of 44 million school lunches. But sure, let’s keep pretending the issue is lazy parents and not a government that eats kids for breakfast.

New JCT analysis of the House-passed budget reconciliation bill is out. Under the GOP plan, more tax cuts go to millionaires than the entire half of America combined. This graph shows just the tax side. Include the Medicaid & SNAP cuts (which we'll get from CBO soon), & it's a cut for the poorest.

I've made this point multiple times before but if Bluesky wants to grow, the things they need aren't opinion pundits but accounts that publish new information. That's breaking news reporters, politicians and stuff like official organization accounts that publish official statements.

Wellman: When I served in Iraq.. I heard about how Saddam Hussein divided them. Different sects fought each other. But you know -- Saddam and his family sat laughing at all of them. They divided them against each other and kept their power for 35 years. Does this sound familiar to anybody?

Remembering Chevalière d'Éon for Pride. A transgender woman in the 1700s who was also a spy and who turned double agent, extorted an entire monarchy to get her gender marker changed, and lived her life as a woman in a time when such was thought impossible. We have always been here.

RESULT: Democrats have defended a state Senate seat in New York State. Democrat Sam Sutton wins by more than 30%. The GOP was eying a flip: This is a district where Trump received 77% of the vote in November, so a huge swing compared to that. Prior senator was conservative Democrat Simcha Felder.

McGovern: "This is not a governing philosophy. It is a scam. I wasn't sent here to vote for trash. I can't understand why you'd choose a career of public service to do this -- to rip away the healthcare & food assistance of working & middle class Americans. Is that really what you came here to do?"

Alex Lawson to Rep. Miller-Meeks: Last time you spoke with us you lied to our face and said you wouldn’t vote for Medicaid cuts, but you’ve voted for the largest cuts in the history of the country. Do you have any comment on the health care that 67,000 people in your district are going to lose?

Let food into Gaza NOW! Netanyahu and his government are starving 2 million civilians. This is day 76 of the blockade. Trucks with food are waiting to get in but are blocked. Children have already died from withholding food. The U.S. is complicit in this gross violation of international law.

Yes it's Star Wars, but that's almost incidental. Andor is the best popular fictional portrayal of resistance to fascism I've seen. It tells us that authoritarians are fundamentally weak and that courage is contagious. Give it a few episodes. contrarian.substack.com/p/andor-is-n...
