Yep, we desperately need to fix that. And ten billion other things. Expand SCOTUS. Statehood for Puerto Rico and DC. End the filibuster. Have a functioning Congress again. Term limits. Tax the rich. The list is endless. But we can't do any of it, can we?

Your regular reminder that we desperately need to overturn Citizens United and get big money out of politics.

It is among the worst Supreme Court decisions in history.

It corrupts our political system every day.

Timothy Mellon is the donor of the $130 million for the troops.

In case you’re wondering what he’s like, he said in his autobiography that Black people have become “even more belligerent” because of social programs, and people who receive government assistance are slaves.

Is it too early to ask: What if Congress never meets again? What if the President just decides by himself, with the help of private donors, what he wants to spend money on or not?

Rough math: 12.3% of Americans (41.7 mil) are about to lose SNAP. Many food banks produce 3 meals per $1, so a November worth of meals for one costs $30. Round it up to $35 for asst. costs & hygiene products. If 13% of us donate $35 each to food banks, we can get everyone through Nov! #EndHunger 🥙💪

This is coming from a guy who lied on the stand about a protester, only to be humiliated by video of what actually happened, leading a jury to acquit in an hour. This vapid shitbag liar wants to “correct misconceptions?”

Russian propagandists:

“There will be no life in Kharkiv, nor in Poltava, nor in Mykolaiv, nor in Odesa. Those cities will not exist - nor will Kyiv.”

The indicator of the Kremlin’s panic and hysterics is not his usual self.
He obviously realized there will be responsibility for crimes.

If people are hungry, you feed them.

If they are homeless, you house them.

If they’re sick, you give them medical care.

If they’re cold, you give them clothes.

It isn’t hard.

Far too many people are more than happy to sit in judgement of others rather than helping.

This is — by far — the most decisive factor in the NY mayoral election.

Literally no other factor even comes close.

And yet somehow this factor is almost never mentioned in all the coverage of the race, even though it could be replicated across America.

How Zohran Mamdani Fought The Master Plan

The key factor isn’t his ads or charisma — it is a public campaign finance system that can be replicated across the country.

I don't understand how anyone can make the case that we still have constitutional government at this point. The president is collecting revenue *AND* spending money without Congressional authorization, refusing to spend money that Congress appropriated, disobeying whatever laws he feels like.
