It needs to include therapy, dental and vision too.

As a guy with half a trillion dollars, I have lots of options: 1. Enjoy a 100% stress-free life doing whatever I please in unfathomable luxury all over the world with people of my choosing 2. Have 87 meltdowns a day on a website

The Cincinnati Enquirer really been on top of this www.yahoo.com/news/article...

Senator Mark Kelly (D-AZ) posted: “Once again the President and Pete Hegseth show that they are not committed to security in Europe. Actions like this make us less safe and embolden [Russia’s president] Vladimir Putin. At every turn the two of them cower to Russia.”

The American public deserves for the criminals to be charged and convicted.

A weird thing happened during the indie romance boom in the mid-2010s: a bunch of women who did not have high earning potential on paper could abruptly start making $20k-100k a month self-pubbing romance. We watched so many marriages implode over it, y'all, when their husbands COULD NOT COPE.

This is absolutely criminal.

We could use some of this energy in the CA governors race

"Black people in America did worse economically in 2025 than at any time since the Federal Reserve began its financial wellbeing survey in 2013 ... More notable is the gap between Black people and, in some cases, every other racial and ethnic group recorded." talkingpointsmemo.com/news/black-p...

I've said it many times. DC and PR both need to be states. We should also exolore consolidating red mountain states with tiny populations, as their impact on the Senate isn't fair to the vast majority of Americans elsewhere. Also, abolish the filibuster.

Totally maddening! How about Democrats keep getting punched in the face, and then continually apologize for being in the way of Republican fists?!

Men are extremely keen to explain to me that Britain *needs* a domestic steel production plant and doesn't necessarily *need* universities. Okay. Steel contributed about £1.7bn to the UK economy in 2024. Universities contributed more than £200bn.

Today, I’m thinking about how Mother’s Day started as a peace movement.

we don’t really need to report on/talking about this using dumb incel culture terminology. we can just call it “male body dysmorphia” because that’s what it actually is

100%!

We generally need smaller cars, and public transport. That includes accessible buses, bike lanes and walkable communities. Theboublic has invested heavily in road infr. It is time to leverage it for truely public use. ❤️

The holy trinity of fertilizer is the nitrogen-phosphorus-potassium combo and I just love it for all of us that this is how people are going to learn that phosphorus and potassium are mined (Potash, Phosphate rocks) but the Nitrogen is made from....natural gas.

Us leftists who want SCOTUS reform and proportional representation in the legislature are the moderates!!

This is a powerful perspective. Many of us who want better government should strive to do so well at serving the community that this perspecrive isn't needed anymore.

Well said.

While we reform SCOTUS we need to fix Congress too. Proportional representation in the House, add DC and PR as states to help the Senate, and consolidate low populous red states to reduce their Senate influence. And we MUST get some transparency about $ and donations. Remove SCOTUS jurisdiction.

We must force non-partisanship on the Supreme Court. Increase the number of seats from 9 to 90 (seriously), and let a random panel of 9 decide a case. 18 year terms sounds helpful, too. Randomly assign clerks. Year around service. Act as a appeals judge when not addressing SCOTUS cases.

🧵 1/4 The Supreme Court just dealt a devastating blow to Black and Brown voters in Louisiana v. Callais. Tonight, we fight back. There are THREE emergency calls you can join RIGHT NOW. Democracy is a verb. Use it. Call links in thread. Please share everywhere.

Hope everyone is enjoying the weekend, no matter where they are.

I find comfort knowing that it'll forever be known that it was the corruption of the Roberts Court that forced Court reform.

i was told by john roberts and sam alito that racism is over so i won't worry about white republicans in the south jumping over themselves to end black political representation wherever they can

The Supreme Court must be made non-partisan. Expand it so we can eliminate their corruption.

So many people urge us to vote if we are dissatisfied with our democracy. And yes voting matters. But as today’s Supreme Court ruling tells us, it’s not that simple. Not everyone who should have the right to vote can exercise that right.

If Republicans feel really strongly about getting taxpayers to pay for Trump's golden ballroom, they should go out there and hold some town halls with their constituents. They can bring photos of the chandeliers and maybe a sample of the marble for them to look at. I'm sure it'll be a big hit!

Hy heart is with Congressman Frank and his family. ❤️ The nation is better for having him at her service.

Phenominal thread. I say that as a former senior petroleum engineer at a super major.

This looks about right to me.

As a proud American, my heart aches that things have gotten so bad that so many feel this way. We deserve a government we're proud of.

At the end of this piece, I briefly sketch what a law to that effect should say.

Indeed. We could help the world and ourselves break free of the violence and entrenched powers associated with oil and gas.

Leaders last night experienced what it feels like to be a student in school dealing with an active shooter. Unfortunately, the current occupant of the White House is delivering the wrong message from last night. We don't need a ballroom sales job. We need a determination to end gun violence.

Very relatable article for coders. After reflecting on why AI can be tiring, I wonder if old architecture paradigms, which are for human readers, are evolving. New architectures will be for AI systems to read/use. Currently we're all just spraying AI-generated code everywhere.

I relate to so much of this essay including the grief about a tech industry that celebrates fascism

Terrific read. Insightful explainer from an expert that also debunks assertions about security inadequacy from at least one notable name show host attendee. 👇🏼👇🏼👇🏼👇🏼

I’m fascinated by how obsessed Trump is with his ballroom but still unsure why he wants it so bad. There is definitely an untold story there that goes beyond him just wanting a larger event space.

Political violence is absolutely unacceptable. I am glad the President and guests at the White House Correspondents’ Dinner are safe.

It can't be said enough: the American public deserves better. Impeach, remove, convict and confiscate. All of them.

Google has committed to invest as much as $40 billion in Anthropic, the companies said on Friday, as the artificial intelligence start-up accelerates its business behind the explosive growth of its software programming product, Claude Code.

Our math scores are down, arent they?

“To say that President Trump is corrupt is to somehow understate the size, scope and magnitude of his corruption. It is as if you were to describe a modern thermonuclear device as a ‘bomb.’ That is true enough, but it is not quite the truth. It does not capture the nature of the thing in full.”

DC statehood yesterday

The corruption must stop.

US and Iran are said (passive voice) to near (aren't at) a framework (not a deal) for future negotiations (to talk later) In other words, they can't even agree on what to hold a meeting about. Peace reigns! All rejoice!

Absolutely incredible. NASA Astronaut Reid Wiseman, who commanded Artemis II, took this footage from the far side of the Moon with his iPhone. Watch with sound on.

If this actually happens, it may rank as the single most corrupt act in the history of American politics. I cannot believe this is even under discussion.
