Well that's 100 Labour MPs who have discredited themselves and could never become PM.

Patiently waiting for Trump to start sending us all checks from the Treasury as the midterms draw near....

Next time, don't just remove the monuments to apartheid from public view. Take a sledgehammer to them.

One of the cases is a cert petition before judgment, which per SCOTUS rules requires justifying departure from normal appellate practice. The petition doesn't even make any argument, indicating a high level of corruption: coordination and communication between SCOTUS and the AL Attorney General.

This petition is dumb. It (1) is futile (because SCOTUS); and (2) invokes an absurd, right-wing theory of federal constitutional interpretation that purports to constrain state courts in their interpretation of state election law. I am not sure what the point of filing it even is.

Trump confusing the lies he is being told by his own people with Iranians "changing their mind."

Hate rallies now occur under the banner of anti-racism. Can't make this shit up.

UK Labour is now so far right that some who are aligned with it think announcing right-wing policy preferences like joining the neoliberal EEC/EU—literally a Tory agenda opposed by the Labour Party at the time—would "unite the left." This is proposed as a way to *fix* Labour from the left!

The jig is up. The ruling class's decades-long occupation of the Labour Party and pretention to represent working people has lost all credibility. The ruling class just couldn't maintain the requisite subtlety necessary to keep up the charade any longer.

This metric dates back to 1951. Februay, March, and April 2026 also rank among the 8 lowest readings ever recorded. 17 of the 18 lowest readings ever recorded are from 2022 and later, with 10 of those lowest ever recordings dating from 2025-2026.

Charles Schwab is a delusional man. People who don't make enough income to pay for housing and bills can't save money. Labor must take a greater share of national income from capital.

I didn't even know the White Collar Crime Conference was a thing. Real prosecutors and defense lawyers don't have conferences together. This is a ruling class club. Unsurprisingly, this conference started during the Reagan Administration.

Canceling payments to get payments.

These are positive side effects of Trump's racist priorities and incompetence. Fewer federal felony drug prosecutions is a good thing.

Pretty rich coming from Obama, but it is not surprising that he is completely oblivious to the reasons the Democratic Party is discredited, which he has a lot of responsibility for (two terms of inaction and then working against Sanders in 2020).

This is the first SCOTUS that has ever revoked an established constitutional right of the people (Roe) and John Roberts wants you to believe his court is just doing what judges do.

BREAKING: in April 2026, *every single one* of the 1,570 refugees admitted in the United States were white South Africans. In FY 2026, the U.S. has admitted a total of 6,066 white South Africans, three Afghans (back in November 2025), and nobody else.

Israel has conveyed to Trump that negotiations with Iran are futile and the current escalation should be used to return to fighting, with the IDF warning that without the removal of enriched uranium the campaign will be considered a failure.-Kan News

If you genuinely don't want to make the same mistake, you have to identify whose fault it is. (It's the Democratic Party establishment's fault. You will be making the same mistake until you successfully oust the discredited ruling class from its control over the party.)

No. There is no such thing as ethnonational socialism. That's literally why the Jewish Labor Bund opposed its creation. The left has opposed Israel from the beginning. The USSR's backing of partition was realpolitik and a betrayal of socialist principles.

A WSJ analysis found 67% of Polymarket profits goes to just 0.1% of accounts, while most traders are in the red. Most Kalshi users also lose money.

Israel’s National Security Minister Ben Gvir received a birthday cake decorated with a giant gold noose from his wife. The Hebrew text reads in part “sometimes dreams come true”—referring to Ben Gvir’s now-achieved dream of legalizing the death penalty for Palestinian prisoners in Israel.

They think you're stupid

This is an easy legal question for any judge to answer. But judges are highly trained to resist applying law in criminal cases—including Dem judges. This is Comey's biggest problem. But I think he'll be ok since there's another judicial principle that the ruling class gets preferential treatment.

The ruling class is so dumb (or deviously smart): "To qualify for the Saver’s Match, a single tax filer must earn less than $35,500." How much money remains after living expenses for a person making this income? None. In fact, this person has negative income and is going more into debt each year.

If Trump follows through this will be a victory for both the German and US public, even though neither leader really wants to afford them that victory. (Trump won't do anything that isn't just a symbolic gesture of pettiness, though.)

NPR still playing dumb.

And Congress can't be fixed without ousting a Democratic Party establishment that has every interest in preserving a dysfunctional, do-nothing Congress that cannot threaten the ruling class's wealth and power. It's the whole ballgame, which is why Blue No Matter Who is deeply misguided.

So everybody is clear, this metric is meaningless. It's just a measure of private sector financial savings relative to the size of the economy. If you scaremonger this metric, you are doing work for the ruling class, because it's what they point to to say we "can't afford" things like healthcare.

Trump’s $1mn gold card visa fails to excite the world’s wealthy ft.trib.al/nP7rKG2

All professions are corrupted by the ruling class and put into its service. That's just capitalism. Capital accumulations mean capital controls, and that means capital controls journalism. And medicine. And law. You can be a free journalist just like you can be a free lawyer, but only a poor one.

I can answer that. The cost to me and my family of Iran having a nuclear weapon that they wield is $0.

Rep. Bill Keating on Hegseth's justification for the military's extrajudicial killings: "I found no justification. We were given classified information on the second strike. I can't discuss it, but I must tell you, it is the most convoluted bullshit I have ever heard in my life."

If Comey were smarter, he would have committed his "crimes" in DC rather than NC. Don't give Trump the power that comes from ideologically diverse federal districts. DC grand juries will protect you more than any other jurisdiction in the country. It's a small and very heavily anti-Trump one.

I don't really care about intraclass political prosecutions, but objectively any judge who is actually a judge would dismiss this under a selective or vindictive prosecution theory. Unfortunately for Comey, I'm not sure there are any judges on the federal courts, and his class is to blame for that.

Wondering when the corporate ruling class will coup Trump and his merry band of oligarchs. Or maybe they have already been defeated.

Gotta love Trump Truths at 929am $SPY

Trump is obviously far sicker than Cole Allen.

That would be a strategic blunder, since it will only increase the popularity of Dems/the Left.

The governor of Texas threatened to cut $200mn in public safety funds from Houston, Dallas and Austin if those cities did not revoke policies limiting police collaboration with Immigration and Customs Enforcement agents. ft.trib.al/JyW4g7T

Trump, because he is an idiot, thought he could just do what he did in Venezuela—which the media praised him for—and get the same result (fake regime change). Now that that's not worked, he's trying to walk it all back while saving face.

A coalition of victims and public officials (among others) had to petition a Chicago court to appoint a special prosecutor, because the elected State's Attorney (District Att'y)—Democrat Eileen O'Neill Burke—has refused to do anything to protect the public from the violence committed by ICE agents.

The dumbest part of this is Trump thinks not refunding a tax to American taxpayers would have saved American taxpayer money. I continue to believe Trump is intellectually disabled (clinically). He can't grasp even very simple concepts.

An immigration officer in southwest Colorado who was caught on video grabbing a protester by the hair and hurling her down an embankment last October was charged with assault and criminal mischief on Tuesday, the local district attorney said. nyti.ms/4cYcXpF

Note that the corporations most centrally associated with crisis-era mortgage securitization were not criminally charged.

The reports circulating about a second round of negotiations in Islamabad are false.-IRNA

This is welcome, but it's one of the more minor criminal offenses ICE agents committed in Minneapolis and in other cities like Chicago (whose Democratic DA appears to be sitting on her hands).

I think they genuinely believe violently attacking the capital is the same thing as being assaulted by rioting police at a BLM protest.

I mean, yeah the nature of the enterprise matters, but that's not the real problem. It's influence peddling and corruption. It's just ruling class bullshit, and the "normal people" all see it as such. Yglesias's understanding of "normal people" is just his fellow ruling class.

What's missing from this analysis is savings. Drawing down savings for daily living negatively affects sentiment—it feels bad to spend your security away. Inflation becomes a kind of scapegoat, especially when wages keeping pace (although not everybody kept pace). www.frbsf.org/research-and...
