Republicans won’t stop a corrupt tyrant from unnecessarily shaking down American taxpayers, but they *will* stop women from getting necessary healthcare. What amoral jackholes.
“But if Miller had abused someone who wasn’t the daughter of a senator, and if there were no electoral repercussions, would any of them have spoken up to condemn his behavior? No. The Republican Party seems happy to turn a blind eye to the abuse of women.” www.thebulwark.com/p/ground-con...

Looking forward to when the clearly unwell, lying kook RFK Jr. is helplessly relying on hospital personnel to keep his sorry ass alive.
Ultimate Pullahoko@pullahoko.bsky.social · 2d agoActually disgusting that nurses were treated like utter shit, overworked and dying during the pandemic and now RFK is on TV telling everyone that didn't happen. I can't even imagine a more thankless, hostile job right now.

I was on this Amicus to SCOTUS too—never done that before! Time to get off the bench.

The notion Japan's fiscal policy isn't too loose - so Yen devaluation can't be due to fiscal stress - is misleading. Japan's primary deficit isn't as wide as others (vertical), but its stock of debt is much higher (horizontal). Initial conditions matter... robinjbrooks.substack.com/p/q-and-a-on...
A.I. is a “powerful technology that still needs people, and putting it to use is slow, human work,” Julie Averill writes. “The sooner we are honest about that with our boards, our employees, our investors and the public, the sooner we can stop performing A.I. and start building something with it.”
Opinion | I Helped Run Lululemon. The A.I. Revolution Is a Hot Mess.
The A.I. revolution is stalling because companies don’t want to admit that integrating the technology is expensive and slow and requires human effort.

This is such complete and utter bullshit on the part of Thom Tillis and John Cornyn. Giving the Trump crime family immunity from tax audits remains as corrupt as anything we’ve ever seen in this country. Todd Blanche should be impeached, not confirmed.
Josh Gerstein@joshgerstein.bsky.social · 2d agoJUST IN: Tillis confirms he is on board with Cornyn to vote yes on Blanche for AG, after Blanche renounces Anti-Weaponization Fund in writing & asserts that the waiver of any past taxes due is limited to POTUS, Don Jr., Eric & Trump Org. Earlier: www.politico.com/news/2026/08...
The news story about Donald Trump being desperate for immunity for tax fraud & the news story about Donald Trump being kicked to the curb by Capital One for widespread money laundering are RELATED.
Tarifas de importação recam sobre o país que as impõe. Vale para os EUA e vale para o Brasil
Michael Clemens@mclem.org · 2d agoUS tariffs are taxes on Americans. The pass-through rate of the President's tariff spike in 2025 was 92%. Ninety two percent of the tariffs are paid by American consumers as higher prices. By Conservative and Liberal consumers—who have been lied to about that harm. www.aeaweb.org/articles?id=...
