Last week, the Senate GOP passed a budget that included a $150B increase in military spending. This week, the House GOP will vote on its own budget — which includes massive cuts to Medicaid and SNAP to pay for more billionaire tax cuts. This isn't about what we can "afford."

This is climate arson, yes, but also the entire value proposition of Tesla, the reason for its insane stock price, is that it would end up the Amazon of electric cars: the only real game in town. Killing off non-Tesla electric car infrastructure is a gift to Musk.

Peter Thiel is the reason news publications can’t call this a sieg heil. Remember when he singlehanded destroyed Gawker and ruined an important part of journalism? Legal departments won’t let that happen again. Any billionaire can destroy any newspaper at any time.

They were never going to lower prices. They never cared about egg prices. It's the same lie as CRT. They want us chasing their bullshit while the real mission is to disassemble the government so the rich can get richer. They are on a mission to destroy it all. It's beyond a coup.

Eric Adams did everything he could to get a deal from Trump. Adams went down to Mar-a-Lago and to the inauguration. He told staff not to criticize the new president. Adams eventually got that deal. But it’s now clear the strategy has backfired spectacularly. www.rollingstone.com/politics/pol...

Trump's latest executive order puts independent agencies — including the FTC, SEC, and NLRB — under his direct control. It's a blatant attempt to shield his corporate donors and his own business from agencies that hold the powerful accountable. This is an alarming power-grab.

The uncomfortable truth is the "Trump campaigned on egg prices" thing is something Dems tell themselves to rationalize what happened in November. Trump actually campaigned on hate and abusing power -- and won! The sorry state of the American electorate is a difficult thing to come to terms with.

As Trump tries to dismantle the Department of Education, remember that his plan to cut the corporate tax rate to 15% would give the 100 largest corporations a tax cut larger than the entire department's K-12 budget. Really think about how twisted this all is.

I’m confused how awarding 4 years of back pay in a lump sum to 8,000 service members who were discharged for refusing to get vaccinated is good for the morale of the other 99% of troops who spent the last 4 years working their asses off on active duty for that same pay.

Egg prices hit record highs this week. Much of the increase is the result of egg shortages brought on by avian flu. How has Trump responded? By ordering public health agencies to cease communications with the public. His presidency is a threat to our health and our wallets.
