First Idiocracy comes true, now Weekend at Bernie’s! Can this get any crazier?!? 😳
Mitch McConnell nearly voted “no” with Democrats until Republicans stepped in and reminded him which way they wanted him to vote.

Let’s be clear, this is elder abuse. I cared for my elderly mother the final year of her life and know this look well. This is a horrible man, but he deserves better care than this.
Safe to say the people of Kentucky are not being represented properly

I smell someone fishing for a government bailout. That bubble must be getting ready to burst.
Anthropic CEO Dario Amodei: "My view here is it has always been very strange that this technology is being built by a private company ... I think the government and the public needs to have a stake. And that's why we've supported regulation."

In case you thought Trump's "touch" was limited to the Reflecting Pool...
A destitute and rusted USS Abraham Lincoln docked at a port in eastern Thailand today, marking its first full stop since deployment nearly 300 days ago. The Lincoln has been supporting the U.S. war against Iran.
Families of servicemembers voiced concerns over the mental health of their loved ones.

I am so disappointed in Apple. They caved and renamed Lake Ontario to the utterly idiotic "Lake America". If you use Apple Maps, you can use the Report an Issue feature to give them a piece of your mind.

That's because he's still a Republican. He didn't "really" switch, the Democratic Party drifted so far right that it now encompasses traditional Republican territory. That's why DSA is surging... they aren't extreme, they are simply filling the void left behind by the original Dem coalition.
If you wanted to hear an old-school Republican in Florida Tuesday night, you had to go to a Democratic victory party.
David Jolly talked about free markets, lean government and individual liberty.
Big tent.

Why David Jolly’s Win Matters Regardless of What Happens In November
Florida remains a steep climb, but his nomination has already shown how a broader pro-democracy coalition can work.

MAGA holds ground the GOP establishment used to avoid.
Democrats drifted toward what used to be center-right.
DSA is filling the vacuum the old Dem coalition left behind.
The parties shifted but the labels didn’t. We're all still using labels built for a political map that doesn't exist anymore.

🚨 FINALLY!!! I’ve been waiting decades for ANY politician to say what Talarico just said! Listen and share this clip.
James Talarico: 50 years ago, a corporate lawyer named Lewis Powell circulated a memo around DC — a blueprint for how corporations could amass political power, reverse the gains of the Great Society and the New Deal, and rig the system for themselves.
And it worked.
And it worked.

Again, we are part of the problem if we continue to project decency onto Republicans who have consistently shown no evidence of its presence. These are not misguided people who don’t know any better. They are complicit and corrupt.
Blanche’s nomination offered Cassidy an opportunity, if not to formally undo his mistake on RFK Jr, then to at least level the scales a bit and start to restore his reputation as his career ends.
Free to do as he pleases, and unburdened by party pressure or leverage, he still failed spectacularly.

GOP’s Cassidy didn’t have to back Blanche’s nomination. He made the wrong call anyway.
The White House and Republican leaders had no leverage over the Louisiana senator. It apparently didn’t matter.

What we are witnessing is a CONSPIRACY by the Republican Party to protect a child rapist and a child sex trafficking network.
They will NEVER willingly release the files. NEVER! They know that doing so would result in their political extinction. Don’t be fooled by their claims.

Trump: "We heard in Minnesota there was a cyberattack and they blame it on Iran. I don't think so. I blame it on Minnesota because they're grossly incompetent. Iran's got bigger problems than worrying about Minnesota."
