The Republican reconciliation bill is a disaster. Instead of slashing Medicaid and throwing 16 million people off of the health care they have, why don’t we do what every other wealthy nation does. GUARANTEE HEALTH CARE FOR ALL AS A HUMAN RIGHT.

A graph like this would never get published in a respected peer-reviewed journal. It has instead been promoted on newspaper pages. A lot like what we saw with the "faux pause" 10 years ago...

We remember journalist Bill Moyers, who died Thursday at age 91. The PBS icon was a frequent critic of the corporate media as well as the corrupting influence of money in politics. "Organized wealth," he told Democracy Now! in 2011, "is snuffing out everything public."

Hearing Fox manifest a secret nuclear site in Iran sounds WAY too familiar – kinda like weapons of mass destruction that never materialized in Iraq🥴 This is not OK. Canada needs to stand for justice, peace and collaboration. NOT more destruction. #IranIsraelConflict ‪@councilestatemedia.uk‬

Points for honesty. American self-governance no longer derives from the consent of the governed, but from massed capital. This fellow just said so as a matter of fact. Citizens United v. FEC ended the republic fifteen years ago. Everything since are the prolonged death throes.

BREAKING: Zohran Mamdani wins the NYC Democratic Primary for Mayor, defeating completely awful candidate Andrew Cuomo. Well done, New York. Well done.

These takes are obnoxious because they're technically correct in the most pedantic way while completely missing the point. Here’s why it’s annoying:

Mamdani knocking off Cuomo is the headline that will get me through another day or two of hideous venality and miscalculation in American governance at home and abroad. We can have nice things. It's still possible.

A Muslim son of immigrants might become mayor of NYC in part because he cross endorsed and supported a Jewish candidate and Black candidate, and vice versa. It's a beautiful American story for the rest of us. A nightmare for all the right people ;) It's so New York.

The highest court in our land has determined the government can deport human beings to countries not their own and without any legal review -- until at least such time as a court rules this unconstitutional. And, oh, the matter will be litigated for years. Welcome to the American gulag. It's here.

The usual press reach-around every fucking time someone affluent chooses to advocate for a common good is at least as old and calcified as calling Franklin Roosevelt a "traitor to his class." Sometimes, and routinely, men and women are capable of being governed by more than self-interest. Go figure.
