Less than two weeks ago, the richest man in the world claimed the president of the United States was directly involved with Jeffrey Epstein and that seems like five years and 15 scandals ago. This is all quite unsustainable.

CBO just estimated the macrodynamic impact on the cost of the GOP bill - i.e., "is this bill going to help the economy so much that it pays for itself?" CBO said that the bill pays for just 3.5% of itself - w/ a tiny upfront economic boost that declines over time. Legitimately embarrassing for Rs.

Connect the dots in NYT report and it yields something ugly. Trump dismissed DNI Tulsi Gabbard's suggestion that Iran isn't building nukes, saying, “I think they were very close to having them." But senior officials don't think this. So how did he reach that conclusion?

Every machine in a Hospital that diagnoses your body without cutting you open is based on a principle of Physics, discovered by a Physicist who had no interest in Medicine. If you think the world doesn’t need Basic Science, or that somehow Science has failed you, think again.

political press is doing a real disservice by basically not reporting the nuances of public opinion on deportations, and creating the appearance that most americans support the stephen miller-style gestapo tactics

I am so sick of seeing people respond to anti-war posts with "so you want Iran to have nuclear weapons?" Believe it or not, there are lots of ways to prevent nuclear proliferation that don't include starting wars. The choices are not limited to "bomb residential buildings" or "nuclear armageddon."

“Tesla’s driverless ‘robotaxis’ could launch in Austin as soon as June 22. But a demo in Austin today showed a $TSLA, manually driven to test its Full Self-Driving system, failed to stop for a child-sized dummy at a school bus—and hit it.” @cbsaustin @velez_tx

The folks hollering about “family values” are out here tearing families apart with unlawful ICE raids, militarized police, & the weaponization of government. All while ripping away food & healthcare from working-class families. Are the family values in the room with us?

DOGE was supposed to save $2T, saved $160B, cost $135B in buyouts, and nuked $323B in tax revenue. So basically, we paid $300B for all that chaos.

Healthcare for seniors is not waste, fraud, or abuse. Food for hungry kids is not waste, fraud, or abuse. A $45 military parade for a draft dodging felon is waste, fraud, and abuse. Paying the National Guard to attack US citizens is waste, fraud, and abuse.

Dear journalists. When the US President is openly accused of paedophilia the story is either impeachment or defamation. If not, the story is how words have lost all meaning, truth has lost all value, and journalists are now completely desensitised to lying and corruption.

ICE is going to elementary school graduation ceremonies to abduct people. You don't get lower than that. It not only destroys the day for the families in question, it destroys the experience for all the other people and terrorizes the children.

So are we just teaching our kids they have to obey anyone with a mask and an unmarked car and an oddly-fitting vest and zip ties now and go with them? Is this where we’re at?
