POCAN: Is the federal govt currently spending less this year than it did last year? VOUGHT: No, it's not POCAN: Part of that is because you've sent us a recession package worth $9b that goes after Big Bird and Cookie Monster, but you've added $200b to Defense and Homeland Security.

For years we've heard from the right about "welfare queens" and other so-called "freeloaders" pulling one over on the government. But actually, it's the wealthy who are the real freeloaders — pulling one over on us all by skirting their taxes. Where is the outrage over that?

Wells Fargo has a long record of breaking the law—and this past year, was caught violating anti-money laundering, consumer protection, and securities laws. Lifting the asset cap was a grave mistake. The Fed must show its work and turn over Wells Fargo's exam reports to Congress.

Nationally, pet stores discard millions of pounds of leftover inventory every year, including perfectly good food, leashes and crates. I’m introducing the BARK Act to ensure pet suppliers can donate extra food, blankets and other essentials to the rising population of shelter animals in need.

This morning I’m fighting back against Donald Trump’s executive order that targeted me. And I’m calling on government watchdogs to investigate the Trump Administration — because “revenge orders” have no place in America. 👇 open.substack.com/pub/treason/...

Just went live with my first-ever show as a host. My guest? @milestaylor.bsky.social He’s now the subject of a Trump executive order. We talked about the cost of speaking out, the trauma of being targeted & how he's fighting back. This is the playbook of strongmen.

"One of the most common things among dissenters in autocratic countries is all of a sudden they become socially isolated. Because people are very afraid to interact with them because they don't want to get targeted. They don't want their families to get targeted."

It’s weird that RFK types will invent hundreds of conspiracy theories but rarely are like “Americans would be healthier if we didn’t have to drive everywhere and could walk”. That’s the wild thinking you can’t divulge, walking, not that Bigfoot is behind it all.

If I created an investment fund and promised 300% returns but instead spent your money buying yachts, I'd go to jail. Yet there are so many dudebros telling me that when ChatGPT spouts total bullshit the problem isn't OpenAI marketing it as a knowledge engine, it's the users who believe it.

What is the end goal of all this ai? No one's paying to use it so why is it being forced in to everything? I can only assume it's like a drug dealer trying to get people addicted before saying "this next one isn't free", or it's an alien invasion and everyone using it has a small X shaped scar.

It wouldn’t be hard to protect Medicaid and funding to rural hospitals and still reduce our nation’s ballooning debt and deficit. The Rs would just have to make the wealthy and corporations pay slightly more in taxes. (PS Rs are never serious about the debt and deficit when they are in power).

Gonna say something obvious to most: real masculinity defends the defenseless, punches up not down, has compassion, and fights only on behalf of others to battle injustice or evil. It doesn’t just lift weights and tweet in all caps and listen to Rogan and grow a beard to feel accepted by other men

Outside of the shrinking handful of competitive districts, the chance of an incumbent member of Congress losing a general election is nil and the chance of losing their primary is very nearly nil. They act like they answer to nobody because it’s effectively true.

Let’s talk for a moment about some of the more subtle ways that the press acts as a mouthpiece for law enforcement. Actor Jonathan Joss was shot to death on Sunday. I don’t know what happened; I wasn’t there. But his husband said a homophobic neighbor shot him as part of an explicit hate crime. /1

In Georgia, there’s no economic resources for a self-sustained dictatorship. Any and all undemocratic rule in Georgia will have to have existential backing from other autocracies such as Russia, China, Iran. This is why democracy in Georgia is non-negotiable to American and European interests. 1/

During Pride Month, the Defense Department announces plans to rename the USNS Harvey Milk. That’s no accident of timing. They’re also considering renaming the USNS Thurgood Marshall, USNS Ruth Bader Ginsburg, USNS Harriet Tubman, USNS Dolores Huerta, and USNS Cesar Chavez, and USNS Medgar Evers.
