Yeah, you read that right: Senate Republicans voted to increase banking fees on millions of Americans. We should be lowering costs and getting rid of junk fees for Americans, not raising them.

I can’t tell if this is accidental fascism (stupidity) or deliberate fascism. But the point of due process is figuring out—through trial, evidence, jury deliberations, etc—WHETHER YOU ACTUALLY BROKE THE LAW. Without due process, they’re just locking you up based on an accusation.

Trump just shuttered the US Institute of Peace. It might not seem like a big deal, but this is one additional step that weakens our influence and creates a world that is more chaotic and volatile. And because of that, you are less safe.

Tyrants view educated citizens as their greatest enemy. Slaveholders stopped the enslaved from learning to read. Nazis burned books. Dictators censor media. That’s why Trump is attacking education, science, museums, and the arts – to prevent us from learning. It's Fascism 101.

This reminds me of a great joke from 1999: Fred was a COBOL programmer. C++ devs would laugh at him, but recently he had gotten a lot of work updating systems for Y2K. So much, in fact, that he had grown concerned about what would happen when Y2K hit. Riots? War?

Changing the wording of his previous post to claim he is paying the million for the person to be a “spokesman” for one day does not insulate what he is doing from criminal liability. Dems say they want to DO SOMETHING rather than talk, then AG Josh Kaul let’s see you do something.

In 2019, Pfizer reported ZERO taxable profits in the US—despite selling $20 BILLION worth of drugs to American patients. By reporting their profits offshore, they dodged billions in taxes and paid a 5.4% tax rate. Don't tell me our tax code isn't rigged for giant corporations.

It is unfortunate that most Americans will not know or care about this issue until Trump persuades the Supreme Court to abolish agency independence, gains absolute power over the Federal Reserve, and crashes the economy. But that’s the direction in which we are ineluctably heading.

A timely and VERY APPROPRIATE request for a bribery investigation of Elon’s PAC in WI where he is trying to buy the Supreme Court. When he used a similar scheme in PA it was not as advertised. He appears to think he is above the law. Maybe he is but voters don’t want to sell their high court?
