if the wheels had come off this thing any faster it'd be a Cybertruck

once again I must tap my own sign

To think all of this could’ve been prevented if it were only legal to seal billionaires into barrels full of nice warm butterscotch taffy and then set the barrels adrift at sea.

The most alpha thing of all time: two old men typing on their phones while crying

Watching the Elon vs. Trump pissing match… I never want to hear “women are too emotional to lead” ever again.

PSA: Do not let the Musk & Trump feud distract you from the fact that both want to rob us of basic healthcare, civil rights, & economic security—all while lining the pockets of billionaires. This childish feud is a distraction. Stay focused on ensuring we stop this horrific bill from becoming law.

Who gets custody of JD in the divorce?

finally a worthy Alien vs. Predator installment

Pharmacy benefit managers’ business practices have operated with little regulation, transparency, and accountability for far too long. Illinois is putting an end to that and leading the nation in bringing transparency to PBM drug pricing.

I think about this comic at least once a week

BREAKING: The New York Knicks have fired coach Tom Thibodeau, a league source confirmed to The Athletic.

Asked about a Dem response to a Rep. Nadler aide being handcuffed by DHS agents inside his congressional office — @RepJeffries: “We will respond in a time, place, and manner of our choosing… it will be continuous and it will meet the moment.” BASH: “What does that mean?”

Go to hell and back in Magic: The Gathering: Untold Stories—Elspeth, an all new comic mini-series coming from Dark Horse In collaboration with Hasbro & Wizards of the Coast this September! @ign.com has the exclusive details: bit.ly/4dAd0He

There isn't just one AI. Someone has to decide which to use. Someone has to train the robots and fix them It will also allow companies to manufacture in the USA what was made by cheap labor overseas. Jobs wkll evolve And I think robots will be taxed by the hour.

The US economy shrank at the start of the year, restrained by weaker consumer spending and even more imports than initially reported.

WATCH: @repmoskowitz.bsky.social calls out the astounding nearly $1 BILLION (!!) for ICE employees in bonuses alone in the Republican budget. Masked anti-constitutional vigilantism pays well these days. 🇺🇸

Senator Dismisses Medicaid Cuts Killing People: ‘Well, We’re All Going to Die’

The president of the United States reposted a baseless conspiracy theory claiming Joe Biden was “executed in 2020” and replaced with a robot clone.

The Republican state legislative playbook for many years has been: 1) Gerrymander the districts after taking power 2) Pass burdensome restrictions to suppress voters 3) Restrict ballot initiatives so voters can’t use them to undo 1 and 2 or pass progressive policies

“either I personally or my unstable friend should be able to set your mother on fire if we think it’s right” is kind of a dealbreaker for a political movement. just imo.

“Returning violence for violence multiplies violence, adding deeper darkness to a night already devoid of stars." - MLK Jr.

I released the following statement condemning today's attack in Boulder.

From the governor of Colorado

A man threw Molotov cocktails at people in Boulder, Colorado? Including children? People have lost done their damn minds. Absolutely nothing warrants that kind of behavior.

Even before latest thing I've been telling people for months Joni Ernst is way more vulnerable next year than people think. Dems should be investing a lot right now laying the ground work in the state.

@jamestalarico.bsky.social: "It's reverse Robinhood. It's welfare for the wealthy. And it's a travesty that this [private school voucher] scam has passed into law here in Texas. But we should do everything we can to stop this from happening at the federal level."

A man threw burning objects at people finishing a walk to call attention to prisoners of Hamas (via Colorado Public Radio).

The reality that masked men without proper identification are confronting and arresting and taking away people should be intolerable to anyone who calls themselves American.

I’m tired of hearing how much Members of Congress “care” behind closed doors. If you’re not speaking up in public about the Afghan allies we left behind, then you’re part of the problem. This week, a few stood up. Most stayed silent. Enough is enough. Take a stand. @afghanevac.bsky.social

So: 1) Takes food from children 2) Gives the richest man in the world a tax cut 3) Makes the deficit worse

One example of social solidarity breaking down would be a man attacking foreign pollution that includes his own wife and children

Boyle: We just verified with the congressional budget office and of 13.7 million Americans who will lose their health care because of their bill, exactly zero are undocumented immigrants

House Republicans passed their bill that’d rip health insurance from millions and take food assistance away from millions including households with kids as young as 7 in the largest Medicaid and SNAP cuts in history - while giving giant tax cuts to the rich. Thread on the next steps of the process.

To recap: House Republicans passed a budget in the dead of night by a single vote that will strip health care from millions of Americans, deliver a massive wealth transfer to the richest Americans, and exploded the deficit.

Hayes: Every provision in this program is cruel and they know it. That's why none of them spoke on it in committee. That's why they have no response. That's why they don't hold town halls. That's why they don't answer questions. All they do is tweet, repeat, and hide in the back until they vote yes

You can tell it's a Republican bill because if it was a Democratic bill the headline would highlight the $3.8 capital-T Trillion it is adding to the federal deficit in the most breathless terms imaginable, and the entire article would be devoted to wondering how it would ever be paid for.

Reminder about the huge Medicaid cuts in the bill that House Republicans just passed: In 2017, JD Vance criticized Medicaid cuts just like these as a massive betrayal of Trump voters and a selling out of Trumpism's promises to the working class. newrepublic.com/article/1954...

By slashing tariffs on China, Trump once again shows that the only problems he can fix are the ones he causes. But still, 30% tariffs mean Australian beef will still be found on Chinese supermarket shelves. #econsky

I don’t understand why no one in congress has proposed amending The Federal Reserve act to include the following addition among the mandates “Reducing the federal debt-to-GDP ratio to sustainable levels.” Keep inflation and employment the same , just add to the equation #econsky

@footenotes.bsky.social Most important #economic drivers #tariffs consequences are: - hiding cost of #government services demanded by public reflected in #tax code - adds transaction cost suppliers navigating on/off tariffs effecting production ⬇️Here’s summary other issues #econsky
