When the banks needed help, they called it “stabilizing the economy.” When airlines needed help, they called it “protecting jobs.” When corporations got tax breaks, they called it “pro-growth.” When working people need health care? “SOCIALISM.”

Phang: The breaking news is… an order was just entered within the last hour by Judge Sullivan in my lawsuit against Todd Blanche. The reason why this is so momentous is that Judge Sullivan has pretty much said in this order, “Todd Blanche, you have now defied my orders.”
The mad king went from: I can't release my tax returns due to an audit 2016 to I'm suing to prevent my tax returns being released 2018 to My tax returns were leaked 2019/2020 to I'm suing for $10 billion over a 6yr old leak 2026 to Nevermind, fuck the IRS, I have audit immunity 2026 This is insane

So the republicans are A'OK with the mad king invoking his 5th Amendment hundreds of times during depositions, but are infuriated & confrontational when anyone else invokes it? Pretty on brand for a party that exhibits mind blowing hypocrisy on a daily basis.

BREAKING: In my lawsuit against Todd Blanche for the Epstein Files, Judge Sullivan has just ordered Blanche to produce, in camera (in chambers), the UNREDACTED emails & documents, and Blanche must bring documentation supporting his representations the DOJ’s redactions are what he claims they are.
A dark money campaign is offering influencers $1,500 per post to attack Abdul El-Sayed and support Haley Stevens. Same exact dollar figure that was paid to attack @katmabu.bsky.social (Nobody ever found out who was paying for that campaign.) Gross, lazy and above all cynical shit.

Back when I was a young man, CEOs made about 20 times the salary of their employees. Today a typical CEO makes over 280 times more. Here's what we can do about it.
$100 to any reporter who asks him, "so you're saying Capitol Police should've shot dead everyone who breached the Capitol on January 6?"
Aaron Rupar@atrupar.com · 3w agoHoman on people getting killed by ICE: "It comes down to one simple fact -- these people failed to comply with law enforcement ... all they had to do is comply. If they did, they'd be alive today."

The "DeFlock" movement should have an offshoot named "Shut the Flock Up". That is all.

US Citizens: Rent is high & we cannot afford a home. Let's vote in our best interests. Mad King's mouthpiece Karoline: They are communists that want to abolish private property. Mad King: The bipartisan Housing Bill is a "big yawn" & I'm not signing it because I want to make it harder to vote.

RESPECT Every politician should be doing this. Mayor Coffman has spent every Friday night since February sleeping at Aurora, Colorado’s homeless center, serving breakfast in the morning, and learning firsthand what works and what doesn’t.
