Distinguished Columbia Univ. Prof. Jeff Sachs on Trump's 35-person cabinet: “Not one of them is trained in technical skills. Not one research PhD, as opposed to China, where half the cabinet is science and technology PhDs. We're led by grifters and fools.”

They openly admit that they have no interest in listening to the people or doing anything to address their concerns, and then they wonder why they lose elections.
Biden Harris alumn just saying the quiet part out loud in regards to Israel.

Imagine if stories like this got 1% of the coverage - or 1% of the Democratic Party outage and condemnation - as the Michigan Democratic Senate candidate campaigning in the primaries with a Twitch streamer who said offensive things. Sigh.
A pastor for Michael Whatley, the North Carolina GOP Senate nominee, opened with a prayer asking God to bestow “integrity and honesty.” It was delivered by Pastor Daimon King, a registered sex offender twice imprisoned for convictions involving children. apnews.com/article/whatley-p…

Yall are too focused on Ted Cruz's party affiliation. This is actually a FAR more insidious form of special interest collusion: Cruz is sponsoring the Protect College Sports Act. ESPN is spending MILLIONS to ensure it passes, because it protects their billion dollar TV rights 🧵
Ted Cruz goes on college gameday and ABC refuses to air democratic senate candidate interviews and the median voter in this country genuinely believes “the left” controls the media lol

We cannot have sustainable energy because it threatens the oil industry. We cannot have healthcare because it threatens insurance. We cannot have peace because it threatens the weapons industry. Capitalism built a system where doing the right thing is treated like bad business.

Horrific statements from Hasan Piker today in the New York Times comparing Israeli actions to Nazi Germany, Adolf Hitler, and the Holocaust that’ll surely be covered by CNN and condemned by every Democratic leader Oh wait they’re from Israeli generals and officials

Republican Senator Rick Scott built a fortune running the company that committed, at the time, the largest health care fraud in American history, then walked away with roughly ten million dollars in cash, three hundred million dollars in stock, and a cushy consulting deal while his company pleaded guilty to fourteen felonies and paid one point seven billion dollars in fines. He pleaded the Fifth Amendment seventy five times under oath and never faced a single criminal charge. Now he’s Trump’s guy who sits in the United States Senate writing health care policy and lecturing the country about Medicare fraud. You can’t make this stuff up. Here’s what you need to know… open.substack.com/pub/mitcht…

The Greg Abbott who now says the government cannot favor one religion over another is the same Greg Abbott who signed a law requiring that the Ten Commandments be displayed in every public-school classroom in Texas. Religious discrimination for me, not for thee.

Multiple UK retailers including Very & Amazon are selling PHYSICAL versions of Wolverine for £15 cheaper than Sony are selling their DIGITAL RENTAL version. A 22% price difference and you actually own it. This is why they are killing physical media. CONTROL.

MAGA cult members, remember when Trump personally awarded Dr. Anthony Fauci a Presidential Commendation for his work on Operation Warp Speed and the COVID vaccine? Trump apparently didn’t. When Megyn Kelly asked him about it, he claimed he had no idea who gave Fauci the award. Kaitlan Collins pulled the receipt: Trump himself issued it on January 19, 2021—his final full day in office. Thanks, Kaitlan Collins. The internet never forgets, even when Trump does.

Don’t fall for the fake Fox/GOP outrage. Two weeks ago the House passed a bill that greenlighted the transfer of Spanish territory to Morocco. Every Republican except me voted for it, but now THEY are acting shocked at the invasion. congress.gov/119/bills/hr859… congress.gov/119/bills/hr949…

The most damaging shift in the modern economy was turning housing from shelter into the primary savings vehicle of the middle class. Once millions of households depend on prices rising, affordability and wealth preservation become opposing goals. If young workers conclude that homeownership is permanently out of reach, the consequences will extend far beyond housing.

Hey @Carvana My daughter bought a 2018 Camry from one of your locations and had it shipped to Nashville. She took delivery at the Nashville store today. Her inspection lasted all of 5 minutes before she discovered that the spare tire well was full of rusty water. Someone at your seller location failed big time. She declined delivery, but has been told she must eat the $700 delivery fee. That’s not right. You guys failed to inspect and remedy the issue before shipping. You need to refund her delivery fee.
