Ed Sheeran? Change the channel, at least according to AOC.

The New York representative recently weighed in on the Macklemore-Ed Sheeran dispute, highlighting the real conversation here: Billionaires will be a threat to free speech when they want.

For years, New Yorkers have demanded access to City records about the lasting health impacts of the horrific September 11th attacks. For years, they have been denied and ignored.

That ends today.

Seeing a lot of liberal arts majors and pundits who are suddenly constitutional law experts opine on the legality of the next steps in Missouri congressional elections.

My advice is to ignore them and maybe pay attention to what the lawyers who actually litigate redistricting cases have to say.

For those of you that haven't read it, Chapter 10 of Project 2025 was literally about creating food insecurity by cutting safety nets and slashing regulations and restrictions on food production.

No, we weren't overreacting to Project 2025.

This is an indictment of the media ecosystem that glossed over Trump’s plans for mass deportations to alert us to the fact that Joe Biden was old 🙄
Enten: "Hispanic men on Trump -- in 2024 he won by 10 points. Look now where his net approval is -- minus 41 points! That is a 51 point switcheroo against the president ... these numbers are bonkers."

A VP does not set policy. She works within the policy set by the president.

I don’t know how any clear-eyed person could watch these clips of Kamala Harris and Netanyahu and not conclude that it was going to be a much different day under President Kamala Harris.

The effective federal corporate income tax rate:

1950: 50%
1990: 25%
2020: 13%

Stop asking "but how we will pay for it?" Restore the corporate tax rate.

That is how we will pay for it.

FYI: Blanche rescinded the ORDER establishing the slush fund, not the underlying “settlement.” The settlement says any changes must be agreed to by ALL parties, not just Todd. This “rescission” isn’t worth the paper it’s printed on.

Can I recommend to you some weekend reading?

Hannah Arendt’s ‘The Origins of Totalitarianism’ is really important to read for understanding what’s happening right now.

I don’t like finding a PDF of something not off copyright but here it is:
