Never take seriously those who ridicule low income people for having a smartphone or laptop.

“If they’re so poor how did they buy an iPhone???”

Because they’re trying to escape poverty, not the 1700s, genius. If you think basic tech access is luxury, survive a month without it.

Newsom: "He is not screwing around. He's changing the rules. He's rigging the game because he knows he'll lose if all things are equal. He did not expect California to fight fire with fire."

A long-deranged and deeply depraved man with a pronouncedly and acceleratingly deteriorating mind announces that he intends to play with the large arsenal of nuclear weapons he controls.

But it's okay, because he's not seeking a third term.

With Ronald Reagan ad, this Canadian leader beat Trump at his own game

Quoting President Ronald Reagan was a way for Ontario to say that it’s not alone in opposing the kinds of tariffs that Trump has imposed.

A short term deal to extend ACA subsidies one year isn’t ideal but it would instantly make another extension a central issue in the midterms which wouldn’t be the worst thing for Dems.

The REAL FACTS about SNAP benefits and why Trump & the GOP are hurting millions of Americans with their stupidity
The cruelty is a feature, not a bug & SNAP benefits are weaponized in disgusting ways to smear beneficiaries.

My thoughts on how Trump is pissing away money while denying financial assistance to lower-income households, including children, the elderly, & the disabled.

This is concerning - the way he just stopped and did not look to see where she was. Disoriented and confused.

The 37 ballroom donors won’t be remembered for generosity, but for funding a monument to authoritarian vanity during a shutdown, at a venue nicknamed after a sex trafficker, while Americans wonder how they’ll eat. History keeps receipts & their names aren’t coming off those walls

My big takeaway from Trump's lengthy Air Force One gaggle is that he's talking about shredding the Constitution by being in office for a third term increasingly openly.

If you don't think he try it, you're in denial.
Trump on a third term: "I would love to do it. I have the best numbers ever. Am I not ruling it out? You'll have to tell me."

Gallego: "It's murder. It's very simple. If this president feels they are doing something illegally, then he should be using the Coast Guard. If this is an act of war, then you use our military and then you come and talk to us first. But this is murder ... it's disgusting."

The richest man on earth owns X.

The second richest man on earth is about to acquire TikTok and his family could soon own both Paramount and Warner Bros.

The third richest man owns Facebook, Instagram, and WhatsApp.

The fourth richest man owns The Washington Post.

See the problem here?

Angus: Canada is reconsidering that relationship with China. Why? Because we can no longer trust the US.

And we know that we have 150, maybe more, Canadians in custody at ICE detention centers. We had two Canadians under Chinese custody and it caused a huge outcry. We now have over 150 in the US.
