I once hoped we’d get to the place where the status of our planet didn’t depend on the benevolence of billionaires, but eggs got expensive. Now I live in what can best be described as Russia with Disney theme parks. Stop voting for dicks.

“The term ‘deregulation’ suggests a reversion to a pre-existing system of nonregulation, a realm in which state authority is absent. But this is a fantasy. There is no pre-legal, law-free realm. There is always regulation, albeit sometimes invisible and private, and hence unaccountable.”

This is a great primer for our recent and future times: prospect.org/economy/rise...

The Rise of Neo-Feudalism

The private capture of entire legal systems by corporate America goes far beyond neoliberalism. It evokes the private fiefdoms of the Middle Ages.

President Javier Milei, a former television personality like Trump, is playing rock star as his nation’s economy crumbles. Now the U.S. Treasury is coming to his rescue. trib.al/dClVApZ

“This is Trump picking favorites with individual leaders who share his ideology and kiss his ass, frankly."

Nah. Let him fall. Let him crack. Let him suffer. He put us here. There isn’t enough suffering available to make amends for what he’s unleashed.

When your boss in the White House is actually a pedophile and acts like a communist they’ve gotta find something else.

I dunno. Maybe it’s wishful thinking on my part, but I believe this crew has pushed so far beyond what is appropriate that even the most right wing propagandized brain rotted folks might be seeing it and thinking “that doesn’t sound right.” Pushing too far killed the CA GOP.

Huge premium spikes in Maine, where 2026 ACA marketplace window shopping is now underway. Because of expiring tax credit enhancements, a typical 60-year-old couple making $85,000 in Maine is looking at a $28,900 increase in annual premiums. (1/4)

Nobody is more responsible for this mess than Mitch. He brought us Citizens United and the tech bro takeover of our democracy. He packed SCOTUS with ideologues. He made sure Trump was eligible to run again. This is ALL on Mitch. I have no pity for this man and never will.

I used to wish him dead but now I am glad he’s lived long enough to see the damage he’s caused. He’s too old and infirm to serve now and he will not leave willingly.

BREAKING from PP

We found immigration agents have held more than 170 *citizens*

The govt doesn't track citizens held. So we did. We tallied:

Nearly 20 kids, two w/ cancer

More than 20 citizens held for day or more, incommunicado

More Than 170 U.S. Citizens Have Been Held by Immigration Agents. They’ve Been Kicked, Dragged and Detained for Days.

The government does not track how often immigration agents grab citizens. So ProPublica did. Our tally — almost certainly incomplete — includes people who were held for days without a lawyer. And near...
