one of my strongest beliefs is that we're in our situation right now bc some of the most prominent talking heads (e.g. joe rogan, andrew schulz) are learning about politics in their 40s and 50s, instead of their teens and early 20s, and we have to go along for the ride as they learn basic things

If Jeff Bezos could afford to spend $75 million on the Melania movie & $500 million for a yacht to sail off to his $55 million wedding to give his wife a $5 million ring, please don't tell me he needed to fire one-third of the Washington Post staff.

ICE's budget could fund the ACA (healthcare) extension and expand Medicaid to millions. Instead, it funds home invasions, family separation, and killing protesters. Republicans made this choice for you. Remember in November... #FundHealthcareOverICE

Greg Gutfeld claimed Jessica Tarlov was fear mongering. About 85% of the content on Fox News is some form of fear mongering. This is what counts as a 'debate' on Fox News. Berating or screaming over a co-host is considered a win.

This woman has shown more courage than the nominal leaders of the Democratic Party.
Martinez: "[I] sat in federal court and watched from 20 feet away as the border patrol agent who attempted to kill me testified at a hearing. Agent Charles Exum—Charles Exum, my attempted executioner was Charles Exum—I hope the government does not consider my use of his name here to be...doxxing."

Palantir reported $1.5 billion in losses from 2020-2024.
That allowed them to pay $0 in federal income taxes.
So how did they spend $64 million on stock buybacks and pay their CEO $3.3 billion over roughly the same period?
This tax code is a complete joke.

Great piece by @sarapequeno.bsky.social: "It’s ironic that MAGA considers Trump Derangement Syndrome an ailment affecting the left, when the real derangement seems to be coming from faction members who are willing to do mental gymnastics to absolve the president of any wrongdoing."
Wrote about the latest Epstein documents drop and how we probably won’t get satisfactory answers any time soon. www.usatoday.com/story/opinio...
Trump will never release all the Epstein files. Don't stop pushing. | Opinion
The Epstein files are perhaps the only thing the left and the right can currently agree on – and may be what drives a wedge between MAGA and Trump.
