Obama: “Imagine if I had pulled Fox News’ credentials from the White House press corps. You’re laughing, but this is what’s happening. It’s unimaginable that the same parties that are silent right now would have tolerated behavior like that from me.”

i'm not over Alito saying we shouldn't count ballots that are mailed on or before Election Day but arrive shortly afterwards bc they can “radically flip” the “apparent outcome”

cannot stress enough that, until all ballots are counted, there's no outcome to flip!

#Arizona
Your border got safer under Katie Hobbs -19 million fentanyl pills stopped, $100 million to local sheriffs, not DC press conferences. She canceled medical debt for a million Arizonans, repealed that 1864 abortion ban, gave 750,000 families a tax rebate. Results!

Gas prices hit $4.46 a gallon today — a gain of 17 cents over the previous week and $1.26 higher than the same point last year.

Diesel prices are up more than $2.74 from a year ago.

Families, farmers, and truckers are all getting squeezed.

Meanwhile...

Instead of “Russians go the polls” the headlines should be “Putin stages another fake election”.

ProPublica identified 17 people who each shielded at least $1 billion in capital gains from the so-called Net Investment Income Tax.

Together, this small group, by collectively exempting more than $35 billion, saved about $1.3 billion in taxes.

(Published Dec. 2024)
How Billionaires Sidestepped a Tax Aimed at the Rich
Wall Street financiers were a clear target of the tax, but some, on questionable legal grounds, have claimed their outsized profits were exempt, sometimes avoiding hundreds of millions in taxes.

The Obama family shared that Sunny passed away yesterday after 13 years by their side. She was fiercely protective of her big brother, Bo, and we can imagine the two of them together again. Today, hold your pets a little closer and cherish every moment you share.

In Alligator Alcatraz, detainees were forced into small outdoor cages for hours at a time.

In Camp East Montana, detainees report beatings from guards and denial of medical care.

In Delaney Hall, detainees report unsafe drinking water and retaliatory abuse for speaking up.

Unimaginable cruelty.

When he speaks for the U.S., he's generally not talking about the government.

He's saying he will prohibit U.S. businesses from exporting American products, while preventing Americans from buying European products. This isn't a slap at the EU. It's an attack on American businesses and consumers.

So a big part of Iran Contra and one of the (many) reasons it was illegal was that third party fund weren’t deposited into the U.S. Treasury
CASTEN: Trump said 'we're taking in billions and billions from Venezuela.' Who is the 'we'? That suggests flows to US persons

CASTEN: You can't testify whether or not they're flowing to US persons?

I am fascinating by the ongoing Ed Sheeran story and the way it strikes right at the heart of the fading viability of "Oh, I don't do politics."

Hey, we asked first! I wrote this in the LA Times in 2002.

"In truth, it is time for California to become a member of the European Union... California is far more politically and culturally similar to members of the EU than to many other parts of the U.S."
