And by “war” we mean a non-intense, unarmed conflict between different policy perspectives without the use of paramilitary mercenaries, insurgents, militias or soldiers, and also lacking any extreme violence, destruction or mortality. But other than that, yeah: War. Totally war.

Congressman @BillPascrell has tested positive for COVID. Pascrell, who'll turn 85 next month, says his symptoms are mild. His message to those who have not gotten a COVID vaccine: "get off your butt and get vaccinated and get boostered."

Since the start of the pandemic total corporate profits have ballooned from $1 trillion to $1.7 trillion, costing every person in American $2,126, on average.

A path forward: give Manchin’s 1.8T bill a vote, with a short (~6 month) CTC extension included - a rounding error in a bill that big. Dems would be giving Manchin everything he wants, including time to negotiate a bipartisan CTC solution. In return… 1/ washingtonpost.com/outlook/2…

It's funny how the existence of this photo won't ever interfere with these kids lives moving through the world because this is viewed as "American" but if this was a black family, this photo would be used to deny them access to anything good in life.
Merry Christmas! 🎄 ps. Santa, please bring ammo. 🎁

Inflation and shortages are *helping* big business. Profit margins for large firms are up 50% since 2019. Finally, someone in government launched an investigation. That someone? Lina Khan. mattstoller.substack.com/p/a…

"We've never seen Big Tobacco facilitate an insurrection." "We never saw [Big Tobacco] cause a genocide." Watch @Rish_Bharwani break down how Big Tech is using Big Tobacco's playbook, but with far more grave societal impacts.
