Neera Tanden criticizing Ro Khanna for fighting for the billionaire tax is perfect. A complete admission of what’s actually going on here. A moment in which she has told on herself. Her and her faction speak for billionaires — and this is more proof of that.

This is a reminder that the Florida Senate election is a Special Election to finish out Marco Rubio’s 6 year term. If @AngieNixon wins, she’s immediately seated. She can help stop appointments and legislation a Republican majority tries to push through before a new Congress is seated in January.
Donte to her campaign and let’s get her elected!
BREAKING: Supreme Court Justice Samuel Alito is reportedly considering retirement, potentially BEFORE the midterm elections.
The timing could be critical. If Alito steps down, Trump and Senate Republicans could rush to confirm his replacement before January 2027, when Democrats could potentially take control of the Senate.
The apparent strategy? Lock in another Trump-appointed Supreme Court justice before a new Democratic Senate majority could block his nominee.
So much from the Mitch McConnell rule I guess.

Putin's Trojan Horse
The survival of the free world is locked in a zero-sum war of attrition: either Donald Trump is permanently stripped of power, or American democracy is extinguished.
Trump's presidency is not politics — it is an unprecedented foreign infiltration of the Oval Office, a direct act of treasonous subversion by a Russian asset handpicked and manipulated by Putin to dismantle everything we hold dear. He must be removed, by any constitutional means necessary, before the collapse is irreversible.

Resim cidden olağanüstü ama burada ve her yerde göze çarpan Filistin bayrakları, Fransız gençliğinin güncel dünya emperyalizminin şah damarına, yani soykırımcı ABD-İsrail blokuna saldırma basiretini de gösterdiğinin en güzel kanıtı. Göz yaşartıcı!

The shared image is AI-generated and does not depict real events from the October 17 protests in Paris, which centered on areas like Place de la République with clashes involving tear gas and fireworks but no matching scene at the Eiffel Tower.

He says the name just fine when he’s begging the Qataris for a personal jet or the Saudis for funding for his son-in-law’s private equity firm.
Wonder what’s changed?

TWENTY BILLION DOLLARS IN RUSSIAN OIL ASSETS AND GUESS WHOSE FRIENDS ARE FIRST IN LINE
Lukoil is selling off its international empire. Oil fields. Refineries. Gas stations spanning the globe. Valued at twenty billion dollars
Who's bidding. A guy named Todd Boehly who personally handed Trump's political operation two million dollars
Standing next to him. Investors out of Abu Dhabi controlled by Sheikh Tahnoon bin Zayed
The same sheikh who just bought a massive stake in Steve Witkoff's company. Witkoff. Trump's handpicked envoy supposedly negotiating peace, not profit
Then there's Kushner and Ivanka Trump. Business partners with the Qatari al-Khayyat brothers. The same brothers circling this exact deal
Donald Trump waives sanctions on Russia days before they take effect. No explanation given to the public. None
And the people positioned to cash in on that exact decision are his son-in-law's business partners, his envoy's new investor, and a two-million-dollar donor
Ukraine loses territory and leverage. Americans lose a law their own Congress passed to choke Putin's war machine
Mitch McConnell objects. Susan Collins objects. Republicans objects. Doesn't matter. Trump signs it anyway
Putin's own envoy is on Telegram calling this a historic moment. He's not wrong. Historic for who gets rich
Frozen Russian reserves. Pipeline access. Investment projects. All of it opening up right as Trump's inner circle lines up at the door
This isn't foreign policy. This is a liquidation sale with Trump's family and friends holding the only invitations
And every ordinary American paying more at the pump gets to watch Trump's in-laws get richer off the deal that caused it
Remember this the next time they tell you sanctions relief is about diesel prices

This should be the end of his campaign.
Threatening to use the specter of government force to scare off voters should represent the terminus of the political campaign of a US politician.
Particularly when it's accompanied by the same rhetoric that incited an armed insurrection.
MIKE ROGERS: "I don't want to go to bed at 2 a.m. a winner and wake up at 4 a.m. a loser. I'm kind of done with that... Let's put retired or off-duty police officers as our poll watchers in Detroit. Because, go ahead, try to intimidate them, please." #MISen

Elon Musk donated $500k to Greg Abbott’s campaign, and then Greg Abbott gave him a $2B tax break.
It pays to be a Greg Abbott donor. That’s who he works for- not us.

马斯克自吞恶果：
针对乌克兰限速的事件引发一连串连锁反应，导致SpaceX股价下跌损失286亿美元，特斯拉市值则直接损失350亿至380亿美元。
意大利政府因限速事件，暂停了价值16.3亿美元的星链采购谈判；德国政府决定加速发展自己的军用卫星系统；欧盟表示限速事件证明了欧洲急需星链的替代方案；美国两党参议员们正式发函要求进行正式调查……
亲普京打压乌克兰的邪恶之举，与历史上任何恶行一样，将付出高昂甚至是自我毁灭的代价！

Fransızları hayretle izliyorum, inanılmaz hızla adapte oluyorlar öğrendiklerine. Polisin haberleşme yöntemini keşfedip düdükle trollediler. Yumurtalara boya doldurup kaskların görüşünü engellediler. Havai fişekleri acayip bir şeye dönüştürdüler. Direnişi şehrin her yerine yayıp polis kuvvetleri sayısını düşürüp orada püskürtüp meydanlarda buluşuyorlar. Bu isyan noktaları için bir web sitesi hazırlamışlar. Sıkı durun isyanın adı:
Opération Escargot
Paris farklı Marsilya Lyon Strazburg farklı, hepsi farklı direniyor ama ne biçim direnmek o la la

Because @willathewisp reminded me of something I meant to share, something that feels more real to me than the digital materialism that shies away from theorizing itself— John Berger’s theses, after Benjamin.
