Experts nearly unanimously agree that public subsidies for sports stadiums are a poor investment, but that hasn’t slowed a wave of spending for billionaire team owners including Ohio GOP lawmakers looking to help pay for a new Browns stadium in Brook Park ohiocapitaljournal.com/2025/06/13/p...

Precisely why he's going to go back to soft targets in the industries he just promised to withdraw from persecuting. These targets aren't going to lay down easily for his crap and his ratings will plummet.

We won’t amplify it, but the president posting that Dems are “sick of mind” and “hate our country” immediately after 2 Dem lawmakers and their spouses were shot in their homes is the opposite of leadership. Gas on the fire.

The Minnesota assassin appears to be a hate-filled right winger. So can we stop walking on eggshells about MAGA's legitimization of political violence? Yes, Republicans have also been the target of inexcusable violence, but this isn't a "both sides" issue. 1/ A🧵on the danger.

I am driving out of DC. The center of 16th Street, which leads to the White House, is lined with anti-Trump signs for a five to six block stretch near Military Road and the Maryland border.

It's pretty obvious that a lot of US mainstream media either doesn't recognise authoritarianism or doesn't want to call it out. Either way, it's an excellent way to destroy trust in your institution.

They'll just say "it's so we don't pay for it with taxes". It's really the oligarchy celebrating its power over its puppet. "raising ethical concerns". Ethical concerns have been raised every single day about numerous things since Trump came into office again. Nothing happens.

Just want to take a moment to shout out the international reporters helping us get the real story out. When an 80-year-old veteran with a walker is hauled off with his hands zip-tied behind his back, and the media spins it as a “threatening breach” of a police barricade

Why do some communists love to gatekeep protesting? They just can't seem to fathom that it's numbers that count most when it comes to protests, not the purity of one's adherence to Marxist theory.

I admit to not having seen "Vincent Price" and "grave" used together in this context before. Kinda inspiring... Darkness falls across the land For Trump and crew are in command Miller crawls in search of blood To terrorize your neighborhood

Actually there is! DC police were out in force yesterday and in every instance I saw they allowed people to protest peacefully. Having covered demonstrations in DC and past ones in Cali, I can say MPD is way less violent than LAPD or CA sheriffs.

You can always count on The New York Times to minimize the scale and impact of protest. Yesterday's 2000+ No Kings actions smashed records for the most demonstrations in a single day. So the Times decided to publish a horseshit map of just a handful of "confirmed locations." We're not fooled.

This is complete and utter nonsense. He is saying this because he knows people who watch this channel are basically the worst informed people in this country and to drum up support for US involvement, in the worst and most underhanded possible way.

the media didn't like biden and wanted to hurt him so they promoted the "truck caravans" as a major story to try to do that. by contrast, they like trump and want to help him (like they helped him win the election) and so bury or minimize coverage of anti-Trump protests

Sticking to this over the long term re hospitality workers and meatpacking etc. I continue to disbelieve that 47 won't fall back on his most racist instincts in order to shore up the only base besides end times zealots who won't abandon him. You can't trust him about anything even if $ is a factor.

Once again the correct response to this is to immediately push for a huge amnesty bill. If farm, hotel, and restaurant workers are so vital to the country that even donald trump can admit it, they should all be getting green cards now
