We have people with hundreds of billions of dollars paying next to nothing in taxes, and Republicans would have us believe America's money problems are all because the government helps the poor with a little pittance. Priorities in this country are completely f'd up.

Breaking News! Code: Bonkers! El Nino continues to spike towards an all-time record high anomaly, with the Nino 3.4 sea surface temperature more than 2.6°C above the 1991-2020 baseline as of August 4th, and more than 1.0C° above the previous August 4th record set in 1997.

The president is a rapist and a pedophile who ran teen beauty pageants and was best friends with Epstein and he’s fine with men beating their wives and he lost a war and raised all your prices and stole billions of dollars but 34% of Americans still think he’s peachy keen because they’re racist.

If a Republican wins the WI governorship, Trump will be well positioned to fuck with 2028 and the current frontrunner is a proud member of DSA, who put out a platform to end policing and prisons and abolish the senate.

Jay Clayton wouldn't say Trump lost the 2020 election. He's our new Director of Intelligence. He has no intelligence experience. The enshittification of America continues. Hope you all feel great.

Back in October, two well-connected MAGA activists from Oregon talked on their podcast about discussions they’d recently had in DC with Trump admin officials about how they might be able to nullify Oregon’s 2026 votes for house and senate in order to seat Republicans instead.

Also, we proposed a idea how to do a end run on vote by mail. Concept is based on what Trump proposed. When you vote, you check everyone's citizenship as well as voter ID.
In a vote by mail state, you might be able to check citizenship during voter registration. You can send copies of your passport and your birth certificate in.
How in the world are you going to check our voters?
Voter ID, right? Vote by mail. So that creates a problem for Oregon.
But if federal government new requirement is to check both, and if Oregon can comply with the requirements, what would happen to our election result? I'm talking about the entire federal delegation.
For federal elections, we're talking about only federal elections.

So entire federal delegation, congressmen and senators could be challenged, could be unseated because you didn't follow federal requirements to elect them. So I said the trade-off is worth it. You know why?
Democrats control two Senate seats out of six congressional seats. We only control one. They control five.
You talk about trade-off, right?

The fightback against AI must start now. These tech billionaires pushing AI on us are fundamentally anti-humanist, they think they can replace our art with AI-generated content. They just don't get it - they see art as another realm for them to add to their profit portfolio.

Karolina Rojas, the partner of Joan Sebastian Durán Guerrero, who was fatally shot by an ICE officer on Monday, remembered him as a "responsible" man, "devoted" to his family. The couple have a 3-year-old daughter. https://cnn.it/3SXY3bI

Statement from Annie Farmer on meeting with Todd Blanche: "After meeting with Todd Blanche, I feel even more confident in urging senators to vote against his confirmation as the United States' Attorney General. "I found him abrasive, condescending, and intentionally noncommittal to survivors."

Balint on Hegseth's obsession with testosterone and his attacks on women in combat: "I think it is indicative of the fact that there are so many people in this administration that have some weird, intense, homoerotic, feelings towards men while also being incredibly homophobic..."
