If Jeff Bezos can afford to rent Venice for a $50 million wedding, he can afford to pay his fair share in taxes.

Ohio’s private school voucher scheme has just been ruled unconstitutional. For years, the EdChoice program has drained public school funding to pay tuition for mostly wealthy families. This is a huge win for educators and the 90% of Ohio kids who are enrolled in public schools.

Phang: As many as 48% of battered women said they had delayed leaving a dangerous situation out of concern for their pet’s safety. The Act—was introduced so that shelters could get the funding needed to allow victims to bring their pets with them.. And of course, Republicans want to do away with it

I don't think the national discourse needs to get any more crude, but I do think we should be calling it the Billionaire Blowjob Bill and nothing else.

Today’s ruling in U.S. v. Skrmetti is about health care. And once again, extremist politicians and judges are stepping into the doctor’s office to choose what’s best for families.

Bessent: "We had capitalism without guardrails...This gets mocked by the orthodox hardcore free market right and by Democrats as being this nostalgic concept....'Sorry the steel plant, the auto plant, the ball bearing plant has closed, have at it at McDonalds.'"

Trump has no strategy with @politicsjoe.bsky.social youtu.be/zsRvCiXOXCs?...

None of this would be happening if Kamala were president.

Commentary: The Ohio Republican Senate budget guts efforts to bring down infant death rates, to help with child care, to fight hunger, to help middle-and low-income families with the costs of raising kids. But "Christian" lobbyists are gushing over it ohiocapitaljournal.com/2025/06/17/c...

A simple new IQ test: Should you pay money to the private company of the proto-authoritarian president so that you can carry a GPS-connected device that contains all of your personal information and that's operated by that company?

For Dems to even consider a comeback for Cuomo after his serial predation of women, is for Dems to also say that EVERYTHING they claim to believe about equality and women’s rights to be safe in the workplace was bullshit. Do they even get the level of hypocrisy?

No matter what comes of the game of ping pong between the House and Senate, the reality is clear: the GOP tax cuts to the wealthy will be paid for on the backs of children, seniors, veterans and working families who need SNAP to keep food on the table.

NEW: The Trump administration broke the law when it withheld federal funding for libraries under an executive order signed by the president to reduce regulatory overreach, a federal watchdog found www.nytimes.com/2025/06/16/u...

Happy Father's Day to the Founding Fathers, who didn't want no wockaflockin' king!

Thoughtful piece from @zackbeauchamp.bsky.social , who I believe is the only journalist I have spoken to (in my personal capacity as always) who had read my primer on US civ-mil www.vox.com/politics/416...

MAGA doesn't realize we live in a world. Tourism is down, Republicans are attacking immigrants, scientists, & foreign students. The best & brightest are leaving. RFK JR is attacking vaccines, which means diseases will spread. White supremacy remains undefeated when it comes to self-destruction.

Rain on his parade.

County music feeling emboldened to put the WHITES ONLY signs back up

Politicians need to be sure to frame this in concrete $ terms and not income deciles. In 2000, Al Gore noted that Bush's tax cuts would go to the "top 1%" but a poll after the election showed about 20% thought they were in the "top 1%" and another 20% thought they would be there within five years.

BREAKING: We're suing to block an Arkansas law that forces the Ten Commandments to be displayed in every public school classroom and library.

"Trump and his aides want to end the liberal order that looked favorably on immigration, supported civil rights laws, aimed to create a more equal economy and sought to expand the rights to life, liberty and the pursuit of happiness to those previously denied them." www.huffpost.com/entry/trump-...

what i like about this post is it is an illustration of one of the most distinctive qualities of williams' work and mainstream punditry in general, which is a belief that history began a decade ago

Absolutely right.

In other words, Trump is actually inflicting this needlessly on members of the military. We should understand it in those terms, as an act of malevolence and depravity *toward them* as well.

You're witnessing the self-destructive cocktail of white supremacy and greed: the twin sins of America that this country was unable to confront and uproot. And, sadly, it's destroying us from within.

This is the bris you never wanted to attend, the circumcision you would never be able to unsee. And don’t blame me for that metaphor, blame John Oliver. www.thebulwark.com/p/trump-endl...

NEW: President Trump is poised to be even more corrupt than he was in his first term. CREW Executive Director Donald Sherman breaks down Trump’s conflicts of interests and why they’re so dangerous. Watch the full video:

Depictions of extreme wealth are everywhere on television of late and, well, it’s all quite boring, writes @sophiegilbert.bsky.social:

One ugly thing about the Trump-Musk feud: It provides a glimpse into the profound emptiness at the core of MAGA. It's all so hollow. Everything is trolling, ego, lies, conspiracy theories, shitposting. Nothing is ever real. On the pod Rick Wilson and I dig into this newrepublic.com/article/1962...

How Elon Can Take Revenge On Trump An Open Video Letter To Elon Musk open.substack.com/pub/therickw...

Remember the whole thing started because Biden didn't invite Elon to the White House once. Kids are dead, USAID is no more, our essential government systems likely compromised by DOGE, all because of these guy's egos and appetite for cruelty.

The movement’s 50-year quest to entrench its particular legal philosophy in American constitutional law has perhaps never been more successful and never been in greater peril. https://trib.al/xTkA2da

I’ve always believed that the way to overcome conservative resistance to gun reform is for liberals to start arming themselves.

Public schools are not for religious indoctrination. Texas, we'll see you in court.
