The Republicants would rather cut social security for Americans than have oligarchs pay a fair share into it.

Fascinating. Worth your time. Thanks Jon

BREAKING: The New York Times publishes a detailed exposé on what may be one of the biggest cover-ups in American history: the Epstein files. @meidastouch.com

Iran, a country whose military we’ve supposedly “destroyed,” was able to shoot down a U.S. Apache helicopter during a “ceasefire,” in the middle of a war that Americans have been told is not a war, while also being told it’s only “two days” from ending. Does any of this make sense?

Corporation: We made $5 billion but spent $4.9 billion to keep going, so our net taxable income is $100 million. Gov’t: That’s right. Worker: I made $50,000 but spent $45,000 to keep going, so my net taxable income is $5,000. Gov’t: That’s wrong.

New Yorkers need affordable homes. New Yorkers need great public libraries. So we're building both. Today, we took the next step toward creating a brand-new library and more than 200 affordable homes at the New Utrecht Library site in Brooklyn. Because public land should serve the public.

the cars don't drive themselves and we're still nowhere near Mars, but you can't question Elon Musk's ability to deliver screwworms and racial violence

Michigan Governor caught on hot mic with Oracle CEO Clay Magouyrk, discussing citizen opposition to AI data centers, bragging how she ignores their concerns: “We’re used to people saying 'f*ck no,' & doing it anyway.”🇺🇸

Day 11 Tirana Albania — protesters are moving towards the central Skanderbeg Square.

I’m sick of living in a SNL skit. It’s embarrassing to be American.

Today’s Thought….

🤦‍♂️

New US strikes on Iran. Reportedly Iran has already started firing back, too. If this turns into all-out war again, I fear that we’re going to find out that Iran is better prepared this time. I hope I’m wrong.

I do blame Trump for the Knicks stuff by the way. He’s such a unique vibesmonster. Just a succubus of any and all joy. A sleep paralysis demon that takes anything that looks like light and turns it into the visage of death. He is intent on haunting anywhere happiness appears for even a second.

Breaking: Team USA has won the World Cup for the first time because all the other teams were denied entry into the country and had to forfeit

There’s a reason they’re targeting libraries. They don’t want you educated. They don’t want you to have a nuanced view of history. Or to read novels that will give you empathy. Or to know about inspiring women, Black or LGBTQ people. They want you intellectually small and easy to manipulate.

🚨BREAKING: In a shocking find, scientists have discovered the world’s first dog with two fully functioning assholes. 🐕

POTUS is a rude, fucked up dude that has no reason to be POTUS. Release the Epstein Files. #EpsteinFiles

Welp. New reporting from the Times shows I was right. Blanche asking the courts to release the Epstein files was a ruse. www.nytimes.com/2026/06/10/m...

Ted Lieu: “Dear Sec. Rollins, you keep getting fact checked for your lies. It’s your Administration that cut the Screwworm programs Also, the life cycle of a Screwworm is 14 to 54 days — the Trump Administration has been in office over 500 days. If you can’t stop lying, you need to resign”

Every so often a new story pops up and everyone remembers that Elon is a white supremacist mass murderer who foments violence on his Nazi website. Then everyone forgets again.

According to Gates’ congressional testimony, Epstein learned about his infidelities and tried to use that information to pull him back in. One more reminder that Epstein’s real currency wasn’t money. It was secrets

Mayor of Whittier, CA confronts ICE goon who's afraid of being recorded.

HE WON'T RELEASE THE EPSTEIN FILES FOR THE SAME REASON HE DIDN'T RELEASE HIS TAX RETURNS: HE'S GUILTY.

Don’t host a World Cup if you don’t want people to come to your country. Ok?

If true, I have serious concerns about this being a war crime. Under the laws of armed conflict: Proportionality: the military advantage has to outweigh the anticipated civilian harm. Hard to see what military advantage would outweigh robbing 20k people of drinking water.

MacFarlane: What do you think your constituents think about this slush fund? McGovern: They think Trump is a corrupt son of a bitch who doesn’t give a shit about them.

I AM SO MONUMENTALLY SICK AND TIRED OF HAVING TO SEE HIS UGLY ASS MUG ON TV EVERY DAY AND I THINK EVERYONE KNOWS WHO I'M TALKING ABOUT!! I have been on this earth for 70 years and I can't remember any president or politician that has as many news briefings and rallies as much as this son of a bitch

President Obama WAS The Life Of The Party 🥳, And We Are Better For That.......

It’s a pretty weird week when a guy who wants to be a trillionaire is simultaneously getting headlines for the economy-shattering IPO expected Friday and the racist pogroms he is accused of stoking — but these stories are viewed as separate and in no way connected or prescient of the future.

throw in the indignity of seeing his name physically scraped off Kennedy Center, the cancellation of musical has-beens from his cheesy, self-referential 250 bash, and the entirely expected torrent of boos from Knicks fans, you have the pathological narcissist’s worst nightmare: public humiliation.

Bernie Sanders and his progressive allies are on a hot streak. The senator’s support has been instrumental in powering unknown candidates to major wins this cycle, a demonstration of how much political influence the 84-year-old progressive leader still commands.

Palantir's co-founder claimed "the NHS makes people sick" Yet this US tech giant now runs the NHS data platform. There are serious concerns about its access to patient data and human rights record. The Government should use the break clause and kick Palantir out of our NHS.

I've been a broken record on this for three years and I'll be a broken record for as long as that fucking website exists: X is a viciously racist far-right organising platform that ONLY WORKS because a huge number of centrists, lefties and progressivs cannot stop propping it up

Happy Wednesday.

Nailed it here. 👇

The GOP in a nutshell!

1/6 I have to laugh a bit when I hear people call Sanders a "Socialist." Mainly because they have no idea what Socialism is and think of Russia. That's Marxism-Leninism Socialism; it all belongs to the government. Then there is another reality that the American people don't seem to understand:

White people. He means white people.

Let me get right to the point. The Senate should not confirm Todd Blanche as attorney general. Here's why: https://robertreich.substack.com/p/the-senate-should-not-confirm-this

In January, Zohran Mamdani took action against bankrupt landlord Pinnacle, which was responsible for over 5,000 housing violations. Thanks to his intervention, Pinnacle's new owners have forgiven millions in tenants' back rent. This is what governing for the people looks like.

Go Annie!!!

Aaaaannnnnddddd—it’s official, and unanimous: a one year moratorium on large data centers in the city of Seattle! 💃🎉🔥

The Albanian community is protesting outside of their embassy in central London. They demand the resignation of their PM and remind him that their country is not for sale.

not polite to call some people stupid, but it is genuinely a party of stupid people
