sorry I can't get over how cynical this is. dude just voted for a bill that was pushed by the crypto lobby and left out any protections against Trump's corruption. now he's claiming to address the issue with a bill that will never pass? this is galling even by modern Dem standards

If you vote for people whom you believe to be of a higher moral character than other people, you have to hold them accountable to that standard. Whether they help Cuomo or not is not the issue— the issue is THEY WANT TO.

I’m still not over the fact that there was an extremely popular award-winning movie over a decade ago about the perils of falling in love with a chatbot and a company decided to make the chatbot in the image of the movie’s chatbot and now quite a few people have decided to date it

Amazing. NYT has more confirmation that Trump's decision to bomb Iran was motivated in large part by the way the Israeli strikes were "playing" on Fox News, which drove him to want credit for it

Donald Trump is launching a billionaire-funded PAC to get rid of the only Republican in Congress who's spoken out against another reckless US war. Do you get the message yet?

Pretty amazing that a former president will sit quietly as one of his successors orders US troops into American cities and ships innocent people off to concentration camps—but feels compelled to speak up when a fellow HR nightmare is at risk of losing to another member of the same party.

"Find your political home" remains, for me at least, the single best guiding star in times of crisis and chaos. Individuals can doomscroll and post and have big feelings; groups can take meaningful action. Maybe it's an activist org, union, student group, career, collective/crew, etc (1/3)

People thought that cause Kamala CAMPAIGNED on doing nothing against Israel after Biden spent a year actively aiding a genocide. The idea Trump wouldn't also do that was absurd but don't forget Kamala Harris sent people like Ritchie Torres to Michigan to assure voters the slaughter would continue.

right now bombing Iran is incredibly unpopular. i suspect the admin is betting this will inspire retaliatory terrorist attacks against Americans that will help to manufacture consent for further escalations.

A thing people don't remember about 2003 is that "they have WMDs" was the pitch to high-info voters. The pitch to low-info voters was "the dastardly muslims attacked us on 9/11 and we have to hit them back by deposing the muslim king saddam hussein who attacked us"

Israel isn't in control of the United States. This is just who the US is and has always been. Saying we're controlled is just a way of saying we're victims. We're not. We're an imperial power that likes war because it's profitable and enriches our oligarchs. That's it.

Trump set this war with Iran in motion years ago when he left the nuclear agreement and put his capriciousness on full display. But there were off-ramps. Why the U.S. didn’t take them is worth serious examination. The elephant in the room is probably just Israel. abcnews.go.com/amp/Politics...

Donald Trump has started a war with Iran, a country whose influence in the region only grew as a result of the last disastrous U.S. war started by an incompetent right-wing president.
