This was always about cutting the federal government so the tax cuts for the very wealthy don’t expire. This was never about “efficacy.”

Federal and state governments are now using AI for everything from determining eligibility for welfare benefits to predicting child abuse and criminal activity. Critics say faulty algorithms are ruining people’s lives and leaving victims little recourse.

I've wanted massive cuts to defence spending for ages. I can guarantee that these grifters will not be cutting any programs in favor of funding social programs in the US. Just another grab for cash.

JD Vance, a Yale Law graduate, doesn't understand Marbury v. Madison, the most famous case in Constitutional law, which established judicial review of the other two branches of government.

So much for consumer protections. It was a nice dream, this experiment in democracy. www.npr.org/2025/02/08/n...

It's amazing to me that as Kanye goes on an antisemitic tear, saying pro Hitler, anti-Jewish stuff, no prominent Democrats are pointing out that he was being praised by the House GOP and hosted by Trump just a couple of years ago. This is how the right gets way with everything.

Despite the Trump administration’s efforts, much of the deleted DOJ database can be found on the Internet Archive’s Wayback Machine. And thousands of videos from the Jan. 6 riot live on ProPublica’s website and other places. 👇

Country music fans mad at Beyonce…. Do you realize it was mediocre white dudes that completely bastardized the genre? You cranked up Jason Aldean and now you’re a “purist?” Sit down.

Here is an old man bot for you. Have a great day 🔋

Germany’s Christian Democrats last week voted with the far-right Alternative für Deutschland to demand a crackdown on migration. Around Europe, old barriers against the far right are increasingly replaced with a cordon sanitaire against the Left: jacobin.com/2025/02/euro...

BREAKING: “Hamas Proposes Invading Palm Beach, Florida to Forcibly Convert Clubs and Condos into a Luxurious Palestinian State.”

Murphy: "We need to act like a real opposition party in the middle of a constitutional and democracy crisis. That means we should not be moving forward nominees or legislation in the Senate. Ds should not be giving votes to nominee or legislation in the Senate until Rs get serious about this crisis"

Absolutely. Grind it to a halt.

Got a tip? I oversee five reporters looking at the Trump Administration, conflicts of interest, & abuses of power. And I am eager to give them more work. Get in touch here:

“He’s unqualified, and I daresay that everybody here knows it.” We need more principled senators like Warnock.

Elon says 90% of US aid never reaches communities. He confuses USAID's 90% reliance on intermediaries -- US companies delivering HIV drugs, WFP delivering food aid -- with waste. Comical if not so dangerous. @rachelbonnifield.bsky.social & I break down where aid goes: www.cgdev.org/blog/no-90-p...

“What Antisemitism? The ADL Prostrated to Musk and Trump” To defend Israel, writes ⁦‪David Klion‬⁩ from Zeteo, Jonathan Greenblatt’s Anti-Defamation League is willing to turn a blind eye to the growth of fascism on the right.

the "woke" derangement crybabies have trampled the word into irrelevance. it's now a whiny dog whistle for white male hetero privilege. sorry, WASPs, you're not gonna stuff the demographic genie back into the bottle. you'll be a minority just like everyone else... 'cept no one pities crocodile tears

8-ish years ago I got strangers to pay off $300k in “lunch debt” so kids who were being punished for owing money could do things like eat, go to prom, and, walk at their own graduation. In the 20 years I’ve engaged in social media, I have never received more hate for anything else I’ve said or done.

I bet not one single "migrant criminal" who ends up at the Guantanamo Bay Concentration Camp ever committed as many crimes as Donald J. Trump.

The amount of Beautiful Mind math being done to explain away an obvious Nazi salute is really amazing. It's all backwards, too. You don't have to "know what's in someone's heart" to interpret a Nazi salute, the Nazi salute is there *to communicate to you* what is in the person's heart

“What ‘gatt’ would Jesus pack?” exerts blood-chilling relevance to all the God-loving, rosy-cheeked families of elected officials across the country whose holiday cards feature mom, dad and kids tooled up to kingdom come in front of the Yule tree. share.newsbreak.com/9xl7970b
