🔥 REP. @aoc.bsky.social : “The ascent of populist movements tells us governments have strayed too far from being responsive to the working class… economic elites are taking the lion’s share of growth and leaving crumbs for the working class.”

Howard Lutnick misled the American people about his relationship with Jeffrey Epstein because he didn't want to admit he continued interacting with Epstein even AFTER Epstein was convicted of soliciting a minor.
 
It's a disgrace. Lutnick needs to resign as Secretary of Commerce.

One of Mr. Trump’s claim to fame is his ability to cook the books as it’s said, he can twist a ledger like no other, and can get authority not to bother. History to him is nonessential, as long as the numbers make him look the benevolent father. Throw out this Putin wannabe.
Serious question.

Does anyone actually believe the statistics the government is handing out about employment?

The wife and I think it’s absolute bullshit.

At a time when the Trump administration is threatening Iran with possible military action if it does not meet demands related to nuclear enrichment and ballistic missiles, X appears to be undermining those efforts by providing a social media bullhorn for the Iranian government.

These accounts were sharing state-sponsored propaganda at a time when ordinary Iranians had no access to the internet, and their messages appeared to be artificially boosted to increase reach and engagement, which is a key aspect of X’s premium service.

Yeah, kinda like that ceasefire in Gaza. It’s in name only, the Republican way.
Absolutely surreal to continue to hear about drawdowns and lowered temperatures and things calming down in Minneapolis when, as far as I can tell, literally nothing has changed on the ground

Well, with the power of protective rage and collective compassion, we doubled that. 💞

I wonder if the New York Times will go after any of the prominent academics in the Epstein files for being rapists as hard as they went after Claudine Gay for being kind of sloppy with citations in her graduate thesis.

If not, why not?
Here’s Duke behavioral economist Dan Ariely asking Jeffrey Epstein for “the name and email of the redhead that was here with you.” This is four years after Epstein’s 2008 conviction for procuring a child for prostitution.
