This system that funnels all resources into the hands of a very few needs to be dismantled
Kind of wild that while food assistance was withheld from millions of families, one Trump-supporting billionaire (Ellison) saw his net worth grow more this year than the entire SNAP budget. And the YTD gains of the other four richest men would’ve fully covered salaries for all 2M federal employees.

Nothing is more important than humans converting our societies to run on clean, unlimited energy. Money be damned. But here China is proving that money isn’t even a problem. The problem is greedy Republicans in America bombing and murdering to keep their grip on oil power absolute.
This a big deal: "China’s carbon dioxide emissions have been flat or falling for 18 months"
China's economy has grown by ~5% in the last year, so this comprehensively debunks the idea (again) that emissions are tied to growth. So yes, faster progress needed, but this is how you turn the corner.

It’s insane to treat the filibuster as the most sacrosanct.
Article 1 power of the purse, oversight, and war? Nah.
Emoluments clauses? Bribery prohibition? Meh.
Criminal law? 14A? Doesn’t count.
But maybe the Senate changes a rule it has multiple times before? Gasp! Not that. Anything but that.

They have proven beyond a shadow of a doubt they should not be allowed to participate in governance. They aren’t qualified

Democrats reveal whistleblower details of Ghislaine Maxwell prison ‘luxuries’
In a letter to the president, House Democrats say Maxwell’s treatment as she prepares a clemency request makes the convicted sex offender look like a “guest at a Trump hotel.”

Democrats were overwhelmingly united on their shutdown demands.
Americans understood that Trump and Republicans were to blame.
Voters made it known last Tuesday that they'll elect leaders who stand up to Trump.
Democrats held the cards — and folded for no reason.

Our veterans signed up to risk their lives to protect the principles of our Constitution. The least we can do for them, and I mean the VERY least, is make sure they at least get a hot meal every day.

If your government sends a $40B "gift" to another country while refusing to feed its own children, you need another government. There's nothing wrong with foreign aid (in most cases); but there is something wrong with letting kids and veterans go hungry while sending it.

All Democrats succeeded in is proving their reputation of being weak and feckless to be true.
No one wants to vote for betas and gammas who get rolled over every time there’s something to fight for.

Perhaps its time to abandon insurance.
“Then how will people get healthcare”?
Supply and demand. If the hospitals want money they can provide services that customers are WILLING AND ABLE to pay.
Insurance is a scam anyway. This might be a good chance to start removing it from society.
