Socialism is what they called public power.

Socialism is what they called social security.

Socialism is what they called the growth of free and independent labor organizations.

Socialism is their name for almost anything that helps all the people.

I am by no means a prominent public intellectual, but my inbox is increasingly filled with messages from people who have been convinced by sycophantic chatbots that they have discovered revolutionary theories that entirely upend our scientific understanding of the universe.

The Epstein Files have been on Pam Bondi's desk since February 21, so this shouldn't take 30 days.

Let the countdown begin.

Interesting. Ghislaine Maxwell's lawyers says she will plead the fifth if forced to testify to Congress. But she willingly sat down with Todd Blanche? What a load of horseshit. www.politico.com/live-updates...

“Survival of the fittest”
is often used to justify capitalist society, but this wasn’t a phrase that Darwin used.
He described it as “better designed for an immediate, local environment" and wrote of groups that survived through empathy and sharing rather than greed.

@degette.house.gov I’m a constituent from Denver. We need a law to make it illegal for any federal law enforcement agency to use police on their uniforms. The FBI doesn’t use police. There uniforms need to clearly identify them as ICE, CBP, etc. The law also needs to make it mandatory

The debate on the House floor right now is so very, very stupid. A bunch of people who's salaries are paid by tax payers, doing a job that would be impossible to outsource to the private sector are condemning the evils of socialism. Either they are stupid, or that they think you are.
