Next week, House Republicans will apparently bring the so-called “SAVE Act” for consideration before the Rules Committee. The last time they did so, their election denialism was on full display.

It’s unsurprising but shameful nonetheless that Sen. McConnell’s office won’t tell his own constituents what is happening. He’s leaving office, and this life, the way he lived it. As a disappointment.

'Māori is the second most widely spoken language in New Zealand, after English, according to the 2023 census. Between 2018 and 2023, there was a 15% increase in the number of Māori speakers.' Change is possible. Difficult, but possible.

For the European crowd (and the late night US West Coast folks): CHECK IT OUT! Later today I'll put the introduction up.

Sad when Reagan is a progressive by today's abysmal standards.

“We are capitalists, not socialists.” This is such a silly statement. In what way are these politicians capitalists? I guess Gottheimer trades a lot of stocks, but in what serious way are any of these people actually capitalists? They are politicians who represent capital, sure, but they should...

“We represent the interests of capital, not labor or society as a whole.” Inspiring!

I especially love this diagram.

No one had championed the free market system or worked to block financial regulation, which he disparaged as both harmful & unnecessary, with more ardor than he had. As head of most powerful of the agencies that regulated banks, he hadn’t used his authorities to quash the bubble in mortgage lending.

Bravo, sir
