Not just normal, good, and hardworking, but indisputably essential to every stage of this country’s history, including the current one.

Confused because I thought the US had nothing to do with the attack or planning.

Add it to the long and always-lengthening list of terrorist attacks by the far right.

There’s a reason Galbraith flagged “the specious association of money and intelligence” as one of the primary causes of financial collapses.

There’s a video, guys. Are you really going to both-sides fascism?

Just fyi: what Trump wants are conditions favorable for wealthy people to buy stocks and other assets, not lower prices for regular people.

Independent journalism is the future. I know a lot of them put their work up for free, but anyone who is able to should chip in.

Spoken like a person with no knowledge of the last 200+ years of international trade.

Employers can’t even afford group plans anymore. This is a complete joke.

Even Tiebout knew that Tiebout Sorting was a joke and generally impossible for actual people.

Cuts to SNAP, Medicaid, Medicare, and the ACA marketplace will hit red states and counties the hardest and the fastest.

Yes that’s precisely the issue…

The thing about reality is that it exists whether or not Kennedy wants to believe it.

This is a super soft way to characterize an unprecedented use of the armed forces against US citizens. Nicely done!

Yo so just to be clear this is the pilot program for deploying the national guard to “quell” anyone who disagrees with them.

FYI: Epstein also said Trump was functionally illiterate and that he, too, liked younger girls.

Crazy how it’s so controversial to oppose genocide.

We live in a *country* where saying that is controversial if you say it to a minority of people, including billionaires and the politicians who take money from billionaires.

Major insurers are leaving the employer group market because it’s so unprofitable. Wild to claim that market is remotely prepared to absorb this many people (never mind the fact that the vast majority of them are already working!)

Also not possible to critique GOP policies when dems’ current platform is basically GOP-lite.

Worth noting that Anthropic leans heavily into the “alarmist” school of advertising. Also seems risky to shape expectations around some sci-fi, dystopian version of AI when it isn’t at all clear that’s what’s coming.

Children who receive Medicaid/CHIP go on to contribute back more in taxes than it ever cost to insure them in the first place. It’s plenty efficient and would be better if we spent more on it.

This bill passed because three democrats have literally died in office since the start of the year.

Can anyone who knows why Fannie and Freddie were nationalized during the 2008-10 housing crisis tell me if this is bad?

Interesting. That’s the same thing Grok mysteriously began to say (unprompted) in recent days. Wonder why…

The factors to produce these things simply don’t exist in the US, and it makes zero sense to build new factories *and* pay orders of magnitude more for labor.
