If this is your response to a cancer diagnosis, as a big platform journalist in the current era, you have an entirely broken brain. Our country is sliding into fascism, and you decide to make the cancer diagnosis of a former President into another attack on him and Democrats. Fucking shameful.

Interesting observation from The Economist that is consistent with detailed analyses of both hard and soft data, though some more than others. “America is splitting into two different economies and markets: one conservative, the other liberal. People on each side think about... 1 of 2

Sen. Chris Murphy to NBC on Democratic opposition to the GOP mega-bill: "What we're standing in the way of is the most massive transfer of wealth from the poor and the middle class to the rich in the history of the country."

The durability of the America's appeal for international students is facing a test under the Trump administration, which has ramped up scrutiny of student visas and moved to deport foreign students for involvement in pro-Palestinian activism.

Chris Murphy: "Why did Trump choose these 3 countries to go for his first major foreign trip? It's not because these are our most important allies or the most important countries in the world. It's because these are the 3 countries willing to pay him off ... this is the definition of corruption."

How long until we see Disney change its language? I guess at least it didn't comply in advance...🙄

Centralized price control? Ain’t that Socialism?

A court he stacked.

The 14th Amendment enshrines the idea of one person, one vote. The 2021 redistricting process in Tarrant County ensured it was maintained, and voted 4-1 to extend the maps until 2030. The Tim O’Hare led court wants to redistrict mid-cycle, and their maps WILL violate the Voting Rights Act.

The U.S. now spends more on interest payments on the national debt than on national defense. This is not sustainable.

Yep. Project Esther. Zeteo reported on this over six months ago. Glad the NY Times is finally catching up. zeteo.com/p/project-es...

Van Hollen: "Trump's visit to the Middle East- my view is the narrative here was selling out US national interests for the private gain of his business. He essentially gave away the crown jewels of US AI and semiconductor tech to the gulf in exchange for a $2b investment in his stablecoin venture"

Tesla now accepts Cybertruck trade-ins, and the official resale loss is $35k over just 6,000 miles. I repeat: according to Tesla itself a Cybertruck loses $5.60 cents per mile, not counting the cost of electricity, tires, etc. Unprecedented levels of flop! www.torquenews.com/11826/tesla-...

Threatening to sue for bad press. Again.

Kamala: we’re going to stop grocery stores from price gouging MAGA: COMMUNISM!!! Trump: Walmart better not raise prices because of the stupid thing I did MAGA: MAGA!!

DOGE cut off Social Security Administration spending so now workers have to use their own money to buy office supplies. Meanwhile Elon Musk makes $8 million every single day from the government.

I don’t understand why there is not already a preliminary injunction in place? What is happening in the district court?

The US government used its influence to force African countries to purchase Starlink to boost Elon Musk's business. Kristofer Harrison, fmr State Dept official: "If this was done by another country, we absolutely would call this corruption,” “Because it is corruption.” #OpCanary #3E #EndIimpunity

We knew this an over a week ago. From Charlie Savage on May 5.

Texas lawmakers are pushing to impose steep penalties on local governments that fail to post campaign finance reports online, after an investigation by ProPublica and @texastribune.org found 35 school districts were missing the filings.

Just the truth

If we were still a democracy the GOP would not be proceeding with a budget that will hurt virtually every American except a handful of the richest and most powerful. But they don’t work for the voters. They work for their donors.

⚡️ BREAKING: Zelensky meets Pope Leo XIV at Vatican, scheduled to have private talks. The visit marked President Volodymyr Zelensky's first in-person meeting with Pope Leo XIV, formerly Cardinal Robert Prevost, who was elected head of the Catholic Church on May 8.

I feel like I'm getting memory loss because I could swear I remember The Statue of Liberty was fundraised for in both France and the USA and not just a unilateral govt gift to America and yet every TV news anchor seems to believe the opposite

“Biden’s economy.” “Biden’s stock market.” “Biden’s $400m jet.” 🤡

Chris Murphy: "In retrospect, you can't defend what the Democratic Party did because we are stuck with a madman, a corrupt president in the Oval Office, and we should've given ourselves a better chance to win."

WTF is the War Department? We truly have put the dumbest f^cks in the country in charge.

Trump ran on lowering prices for everyday Americans. But his misguided tariffs are starting to result in price increases. The latest example? Walmart.

The Qatar bribe is *initially* going to the Department of Defense so Donald can avoid paying for jet fuel, pilots, and maintenance. It is *then* going to his "Library" so Donald can can continue avoiding personally paying such costs--and avoid paying taxes. The entire scheme is a scam.

The Director of the FBI is openly lying to the American public about Canada being a major source of fentanyl. In the first three months of 2025, a grand total of 1.35 lbs of fentanyl was seized by border officials at our border with Canada — 0.06% of total seizures.

Class lesson is OVER...Any Questions......🤔
