Maybe Dems shouldn't listen to never-Trumpers despite Tim Miller wearing beaded necklaces. He's not a Dem, not progressive, his fashion sense just never evolved after his freshman year of college.

The most powerful rising force in American politics today is anti-establishment fury at a rigged economic system.

Corporate Democrats refuse to see how big money has corrupted America.

They — and their billionaire donors — are some of the biggest enablers of Trump's neo-fascism.

how has he not been removed from office? Aren't people in the GOP terrified of this?
Trump on Iran: "I want to give them every last chance before decapitation. It's very tough to do what we have planned…To do an attack that big on a country, I'd rather not do it…[Iran] called me and they said, 'Please don't attack, we'll make a deal.' That's the real truth and everyone knows it."

THIS is why Bernie Moreno has been silent.

In March 2024, the AP reported that he used a work email to create a dating profile looking for gay sex.

Max Miller has some dirt on him.

Trump told Fox he’s going to “beat the f**king s*** out of” Iran today. Meanwhile the Dow just dropped 800 points, oil is spiking, and Republicans want to talk about the pandemic. Your midday update is here:

The point is to make scientists think twice about publishing that paper that goes against the MAGA belief system, lest they too, be taken into the town square and assaulted with tomatoes.

See?

Whatever thing you think this is about...it isn't. Stop taking the bait!

This whole exercise isn't about COVID-19 or Gain of Function research...this is about Congress putting a retired public servant through the wringer because they want to spook scientists.

This is all a part of a plan to chill scientists from taking evidence-based and principled stands against govt.

Zelensky says that Russia is helping Iran kill our troops. In the Oval Office on Friday, Trump said Putin told him he wasn’t and he trusts him that he was telling the truth.

What would happen if union density in America tripled?

The median worker would get a 14.5% raise.
$1.2 TRILLION would shift to workers yearly.
Racial wealth gaps would narrow.

America’s unions are organizing to make this reality.

14 million people will die by 2030 because some dumb tech guys Musk hired had no idea what USAID actually was.
The instant obliteration of our congressionally mandated development assistance agency—by the world’s richest man and his cabal who “gave zero fucks” (Musk’s exact words) about the mass deaths they caused—is a historic atrocity that should stain everyone who touched it, forever.
NEW—I got an exclusive excerpt from a USAID whistleblower's new book that made me gasp multiple times. It details Trump's dismantling of the humanitarian aid agency & his team/DOGE's shocking ignorance to public health.

The biggest story in the world right now is that the president of the United States is a demented old man who takes pleasure in torturing and killing people and is committing crimes with impunity. And yet most legacy media outlets are too cowardly to tell it like it is.
