The billionaire who's been bribing Supreme Court Justice Samuel Alito donated a $10 million bribe to Senate Republicans to block Supreme Court reforms and investigations. Everyone understands these are bribes. Normalize calling them bribes.

Facing Dem Scrutiny, Alito Benefactor Paul Singer Donates $10 Million to GOPreadsludge.com The donation, to the Mitch McConnell-aligned Senate Leadership Fund, is Singer’s largest ever.

November 2023: Dean Phillips is only damaging Biden by running in the primaries and he should be expelled from the party. July 2024: Biden's legitimacy as a candidate comes from his landslide victory in the primaries, which were real and good.

Concerns mount as to whether the 173-year old New York Times is too old to continue in its role as the nation’s newspaper of record.

It's not that the Times just now suddenly decided to take a nosedive, its coverage of trans youth, of the confected "plagiarism scandal" at Harvard, and of the protests at Columbia have all been deeply embarrassing

Trump gushed over Heritage and Roberts in a 2022 speech. Trump now claims not to know who is behind Project 2025, which is led by Roberts and Heritage. www.mediamatters.org/project-2025...

I think billboards highlighting each chapter of Project 2025 placed in specific locations. For example the chapter on gutting military benefits should have billboards on highways near big military bases. Plans for destroying Social Security have billboards all over in Arizona and Florida.

I just read an article that said "Why is it taking so long for your favorite movies and tv series to air? Blame the writers and actor strikes" No I won't. I'm blaming that ✨single✨ motherfucker at the studio who makes $250 million dollars a year who's one job is supposed to make this shit happen.

Hey, the days not over yet. I bet we can get enough people asking @nytimes.com why they are not covering Trumps alleged child rapes with as much vigor as they should be, for example.

Conservatives say raising the minimum wage would drive up inflation. But the federal minimum wage hasn't gone up since 2009. Average CEO pay has gone up about 60% since 2009. Whose pay is contributing to inflation?

Pretty clear that legacy news media are setting themselves up to be state propaganda networks in the coming dictatorship.

So odd we are having this election after the January 6th coup attempt and everyone’s just pretending like it didn’t happen.

Some reduce the 2024 campaign to a contest between two old men, but it's a choice of two slates of federal appointees who'll impact your life in a million ways. Biden has staffed executive agencies with excellent choices who are doing good work. Trump will empower an army of Stephen Millers.

Under current law, you really couldn’t do much better than Biden’s FTC and NRLB. New Deal shit.

Why are we talking about whether paying fast food workers a better wage will drive up the cost of a Big Mac instead of asking how much McDonald's CEO's $19.2 million salary is driving up the cost? Hello?

It’s not just that the jurors have to fear Trump’s deranged followers. They also just convicted someone who may have the full resources of the US national security state at his disposal in less than a year. Real bravery.

Texts written by Nex say they felt "dizzy and nauseous" and suspected concussion after the attack. We know that it's common for deaths from head injuries to be delayed by 24-48h.

the press invariably describes immigration via the US-Mexico border as a “crisis” but it doesn’t have to be one in fact it can just be great that people who are seeking a better life for themselves decided to come here

I think a lot about how one of the most straightforward ways that people can honor the memory of the Holocaust victims is by enthusiastically welcoming refugees, asylum seekers and immigrants to our countries — and how rare it is to see that moral stance represented in even liberal politics today.

Weird how this keeps happening.

Having just worked in the railroad industry - this does not surprise me in the least. I can attest personally that unnecessary safety risks are being taken in the name of the almighty dollar.

After a freight train carrying hazardous chemicals derailed in East Palestine, Ohio a year ago, the rail industry pledged to work to become safer, and members of Congress vowed to prevent similar disasters. No bill was passed and accidents went up.

Since Ohio Train Derailment, Accidents Have Gone Up, Not Downwww.nytimes.com The total number of accidents for the top five freight railroads increased, and Congress still hasn’t passed legislation to prevent similar disasters.
