We spent a year investigating billionaires for @washingtonpost.com. We found: the wealthiest 100 Americans gave $1.1 billion to influence the 2024 elections — 140x more than they did in 2000. And almost all of that giving boosted Republicans. washingtonpost.com/politics/int...

Zohran Mamdani standing beside the President of the United States just said that the US is funding Israel's genocide and yet can't take care of its own unhoused children on live television. I never thought I'd see something like that in my lifetime

The forced displacement of the 10 million residents of a major world capital due to climate change is... not even making the news here in our era of ascendant fascism and late capitalism.

So close to getting the point.

Watching Chilean election results come in and once again thinking about this tweet

If you're a professor at Texas A&M, you'll need to receive written authorization from the university president before discussing this incident on campus.

NEW: The first two years of Massachusetts' millionaire tax has raised $3 billion more than expected. And rather than driving the rich away, IPS researchers found that the number of millionaires has *increased.* Tax the rich. Greg Ryan in @bloomberg.com:

Love this! #scriptsky

This is why my Alma mater will never get a dime from me ever again. And I am boycotting their football games this season during a year when it seems they likely might play for the national title. You have to stand for something. I’m not surprised they capitulated to fascism.

Absolutely howling at this track a dad left his daughter on a random and bizarre mix tape he made for her before he died. Come for the vocals; stay for the final line 🤣 what a wonderful gift to leave her and what a wholesome reaction!

The Kremlin disguised a nearly $100 mn payment to Trump in the form of a brokered real estate deal... and both Jeffrey Epstein and William Pulte were involved in the deal. That's very interesting.

A 30-year mortgage currently has an interest rate of 6.3%. A reasonable guess it that a 50-year mortgage rate would be about 7.0%. ⇒ The monthly payment on a $500k mortgage: - 30 years: $3,050 per month - 50 years: Only $100 less at $2,950 (but 240 months longer).

QAnon: The powerful pedophiles have invented elaborate codes to secretly discuss their crimes that require decades of interpretation Actual powerful pedophile: Hey Jeff hope this email find you well last week was great so when we meeting up to do pedophilia again

The best, simplest, and most honest take I've seen on this.

The President pardoned members of his private militia after they failed to overturn an election; they, in turn, pledge their support to him and urge him to use them to police civil society.

Privatization of vital public services is touted as the key to more efficient, better service. But it's just a scheme for greedy middlemen to skim a fat profit margin from an already-underbudgeted necessity. Result: Costs soar as quality of service plummets & capacity vanishes.

"You'll somehow pay less if the shit is run by people who demand a large profit margin" never made sense, and I don't understand why anyone ever believed it.

DHS confirmed it has stopped automatically storing officials' text messages. Instead, officials are supposed to take a screenshot, send that to their work email, download it onto their work computer and run a text-recognition program on it. Every time. www.nytimes.com/2025/11/06/u...

I LEARNED THE ANSWER TO THIS Chris's Steakhouse was a New Orleans landmark Chris Matulich periodically got bored, sold it, waited for the new owner to fail, and bought it back cheap The sale conditions: Can't move it, can't change the name He did this six times Then he sold it to Ruth Fertel

Miss World Chile did is in a metal band. This was her talent portion at Miss World www.instagram.com/reel/DQuI2W7...

I've seen this go by a few times on TikTok now and I have to say, I love this idea. We need a way to convince people to keep running even if they don't win, maybe building the loss into it as a troll move is the secret.

Zohran at the rally for trans youth on february 8 ❣️ he was polling single digits.

If you’re still in line, STAY IN LINE

I continue to wonder when Americans will decide enough is enough. As Frederick Douglass reminds us: “The limits of tyrants are prescribed by the endurance of those whom they oppress.”

Somewhere, a single jail cell at The Hague will go unfilled. Halliburton sheds a single tear. And South Texas dove hunters feel a little bit safer.

I'm just saying.....

you pay for WIC and you’ve never used it. Millions of people have never been on a plane and still pay for all the federal government functions at an airport that keep you safe whenever you take a flight. We live in a society. Everything isn’t for you. Get over it.

Liberals say communism is a fantasy because of the immutably greedy and vicious human nature, then say "Our institutions will be fine actually because they rely entirely on the grand character, integrity, and judgment of a handful of very rich men directly beholden to the status quo"

On Fox News — when Zohran promises to bring down prices he’s a socialist, but when Trump did it he was a hero (As Trump does the actual big government socialism with tariffs and taking control of companies, etc)

No one is putting drugs in your kids’ Halloween candy, parents. No one can afford to give away free drugs in this economy anyway. They’re lucky they’re getting candy.

I love how Rep. Joe Neguse reframed this question.

I would watch a TV special where this horse’s ass had to buy a week’s worth of groceries for 81 bucks. America, what do you vote for these people?

FACTS about SNAP: -35% to white people (largest share) -90% to people born in 🇺🇸 -86% to households with kids -70% work full time but aren’t paid a living wage (aka corporate welfare)

Please consider getting an annual subscription today. The end of the month is always tight and it would make a massive difference.

These people have civilian jobs. It's one thing to mobilize them for an emergency or a legitimate war, another thing to send them to American cities to stand around and mill about. You're messing with people's careers to further a hostile and idiotic agenda.

Nuke this from orbit. It’s the only way to be sure.

AI sitcom accidentally a Lynchian fever dream. The sort of general malaise that only the genius possess and insane lament.

I regret to inform everyone that my pedantic brain couldn’t let me live until I knew whether or not dodger blue and blue jays blue are the same blue. They are ONE PANTONE NUMBER APART.

Watch this balding unc fuck up some dudes on his lunchbreak, forearm shiver to make space and hit one foot Kobe fallaways while wearing a tucked in polo

No surprise here: Trump's new drug pricing plan is riddled with conflicts of interest. BlinkRx, an online drug delivery company, is set to make millions off the new plan. Their newest board members? Donald Trump Jr. and Treasury Sec. Lutnik's millionaire children.

CHOTINER: So you asked for a Birkin bag? KOKO: Yes. Possession Bag. CHOTINER: And you had the funds to acquire this? KOKO: No, Professor Purchase Koko Gorilla CHOTINER: That doesn't sound like the funds were justifiable. KOKO: Hostility Interviewer

This must be what it’s like to meet Odin when you enter Valhalla. www.espn.com/mlb/story/_/...

You know who the real freeloaders in this country are? Not people who rely on SNAP, but corporations whose business model depends on wages so low that taxpayers have to feed their workers.

Lmao. Every scammer seeing Trump get pushed as God's Chosen Candidate by the church quickly realizing Christians were easy targets to grift out of money so they built entire companies around that idea.

the only thing that involves more pitches without anybody winning is a screenwriting career

The Dodgers won the entire 1963 World Series in eight hours and 17 minutes.
