This is a moment. It's a powerful articulation of the problem with #cyberbarons consolidating government and economic power and the potential response -- genesis of a populist antitrust, anti-monopoly movement. Could appeal beyond partisan divides. @raskin.house.gov with @chrislhayes.bsky.social

My least favorite tradition has arrived: I’m disgusted to present the official 2025 Batshittery Bingo Card. If anyone gets bingo, we all die.

Has anyone asked Rotary clubs how they feel about discontinuing the polio vaccine? Rotary clubs have worked for many years, along with others, to help eradicate polio. I wonder how Rotarians feel about this?
