For some reason Democratic leaders seem to prefer telling voters what they won’t be able to do, rather than what they’d like to do.
If Hegseth ordered a war crime and lied about it, shouldn’t Ds try for impeachment? Put Rs on the spot. They might get a few defections.

Jeffries says not to expect Democrats to pursue Hegseth impeachment over boat strikes
"Republicans will never allow articles of impeachment to be brought to the floor," he said.

Reminder that Starbucks’ CEO made 6,666x more than the company's median employee in 2024.
This was the widest CEO-to-Worker pay gap in the entire S&P 500.
And we're supposed to believe Starbucks can't afford to bargain a fair contract with its unionized workers?

For the first time a U.S. county is making their guaranteed income program permanent.
The Cook County Board of Commissioners has unanimously approved $7.5 million to continue its guaranteed income program.
Each month over 3,000 households will get an unconditional $500.

And this is so obnoxious because actual-politics is kind of a fucking layup right now.

Be anti-corruption. Run on fixing the shit they broke, holding assholes accountable, and improving people’s lives.

This is the last post of an interesting thread. It reminds me of seeing articles on the front page of the NYT -- war, genocide, fire, shootings, climate disaster, poverty, Trump's endless shit, and sitting in the middle of all that is "what's wrong with the kids?"
And I don't know if the answer is: everyone is too traumatized to do work and we need to reinvent society. Or if it's more like: generations are losing their cognitive abilities and willpower due to destructive technologies. Or: we all have post-viral brain damage. Or: all of the above.

Strange how the ideology of the Minnesota assassin was pretty much dryly noted and dropped, not used as an excuse by politicians to blame half the country for the murder.

Denigrating Native Americans is an essential part of the white supremacist narrative (along with downplaying chattel slavery). It's meant to whitewash any sins committed in the formation and expansion of the European colonies in the Americas.
What is Vance’s obsession with this? He’s talked about it multiple times?

Reuters reached out to everyone that Trump or his subordinates singled out publicly for retribution, and reviewed hundreds of official orders, directives and public records. The result: the most comprehensive accounting yet of his campaign of payback.
