As Supreme Court Justice Louis Brandeis stated in 1933; “We can have democracy in this country or we can have great wealth concentrated in the hands of the few, but we cannot have both.”

Today, at a time of unprecedented income & wealth inequality, his words ring truer than ever.

The stupid hurts.
“Instead of 3% or 4% GDP, it should be able to 20% or 25%. I don’t know why it can’t be.”

Anyone with even a modicum of knowledge about economics knows but the Stable Genius clearly does not.

As if RFK Jr wasn't vaccinated as a kid. I hope he/gov't gets sued from here to eternity.
Please get vaccinated. This doesn’t have to happen. But it will happen more, and with more fatalities as long as RFK Jr and his anti-science enablers continue to spread disinformation. www.nbcnews.com/health/healt...

Some students who remain unvaccinated are now in a second 21-day quarantine since the beginning of the school year.

There are so many quaint and charming royal traditions in Britain, like the letter the Monarch sends out when someone turns 100, or the text little girls receive from Prince Andrew when they turn 14.

😂OMG, Noem lied? 😆
Bennie Thompson on Noem: "Her arrival was short lived. She left in the middle of the hearing ostensibly to go to another meeting. We found that the meeting had been canceled, so she could've stayed. But nonetheless, we're not surprised, because this is who she is."

Hopefully JD will take this as a "heads-up" as for his chances in 2028.
Things to celebrate: JD Vance and Mike Johnson both went to Indiana to whip votes. The failed.

You've got to love Seattle!
Seattle will move forward with its World Cup “Pride Match” on June 26 despite objections from Iran and Egypt over the Pride branding. Both nations asked FIFA to intervene, but local organizers say the plans stand.

I APPLAUD the 21 Indiana Republicans who did NOT vote for the new gerrymandered map!
They chose our country's INTEGRITY over bad politics (cheating) & big money.
So, THANK YOU!
👏👏👏👏👏👏👏👏👏👏👏👏
