New: DOGE's spending has been secret. No longer. My colleagues have uncovered it. www.propublica.org/article/doge...

this. I love this woman.

Peace in Ukraine by total capitulation to Russia. Anyone remember Neville Chamberlain? It didn't work then, either. Elvis Costello even wrote a song about it called "Peace in Our Time."

This administration has convinced half the country that the real problem isn’t billionaires who evade taxes and collect government handouts but the working class who pay taxes and get nothing in return.

More states need a representative like Greg Casar to speak truth to power.

Working class Americans have a significantly shorter lifespan than people who are wealthy. Why? Economic stress can have a major impact upon your body, your mind & how long you live. I’d love to hear from you: How has stress affected your heath? outreach.senate.gov/iqextranet/E...

Project 2025 is modeled on what Viktor Orban "achieved" in Hungary, a country the size of Indiana with a largely homogenous population. Inflicting a Hungarian-style "parliamentary republican" government on a country as large and demographically diverse as the U.S. will hopefully fail.

this is straight up Nazi shit.

Pennywise the Orange Clown's deportation plan will crush the U.S. GDP. Mass deportations would harm the US economy www.piie.com/blogs/realti...

Dump wants to move his grift to Gaza and the Middle East. (Why else is foreign aid being cut to everyone but Egypt and Israel?) Gotta wonder how all those folks who didn't vote for Harris because of her position on Palestine feel about it now.

One of the best essays I've read so far on the L.A. wildfires. The ramifications will be felt for generations.

Elon's net worth ~$414bn is fairly close to the total revenue of the Canadian government in 2024 ~$498bn. One of them is spending millions to send fire fighters to Los Angeles. The other is working to revive white ethnostates in the West. THIS is why billionaires should not legally exist

This is an important resource with many ways you can help our friends in California right now. Please amplify and consider pitching in if possible.

Donald Trump was found guilty of 34 charges but won't face any punishment — and will be back in the White House this month. Nearly 800 prisoners are now helping to battle Los Angeles fires, making as little as $5.80 per day. A tale of two justice systems.

this.

Tens of thousands of young people — single people, in particular — have left states with near-total abortion bans.

He didn't even get a fine. F. Scott Fitzgerald was right: "The rich are different from you and me." And from Animal Farm: "All pigs are equal. Some are more equal." (forgive the paraphrasing.)

It’s why I’m mostly here now, in The Good Place.

Shortly after Citizens United, Jimmy Carter issued a stark warning about the role of Big Money in politics. May we remember the truths that he told us — and act to remedy them. bit.ly/4j6N1cC

Listening to the eulogies for Jimmy Carter is an inspiration to focus on working locally, a little at a time, to try and make things better.
