A 155% tax on our nations billionaires shall help fill this hole.
"Online Rent-a-Sage" Bret Devereaux@bretdevereaux.bsky.social · 10h agoI know it sucks, but Dems have got to be prepared to inherit a munitions-and-readiness hole that is going to be expensive to fill, but which will need to be filled. Hardly the only such hole, but it will be a big one.
The way to make energy free is to install vast quantities of wind and solar farms.
Ron Filipkowski@ronfilipkowski.bsky.social · 1h agoHe promised to cut them in half in 6 months. 19 months later and we are paying higher prices but they are giving out more promises. Can we pay the bills with these promises? Can we give the power company an IOU and put Vivek down as a reference?
With today’s loss the dodgers have now lost 6 in a row. A truly staggering turn of events given people’s reaction to the Skubal trade.
Truly staggering how the defining question of our time is this simple.

I’m not sure I’ve ever seen entire metro areas vote 100% blue before but this seems like a good way to make that happen.
Aaron Rupar@atrupar.com · 10h agoEvery single Republican candidate for governor of Minnesota (including Mike Lindell!) makes clear that if Trump tried another Operation Metro Surge in the Twin Cities, they would support his efforts to brutalize residents
However batshit insane you think this interview is, it is much more insane. This is how you know he doesn’t have a good lawyer.
Aaron Rupar@atrupar.com · yesterday🤯 Rep. Max Miller's interview with Jake Tapper was one of the most self-destructive things I've ever witnessed on cable news. Here's the whole thing:
This is your lawyer speaking and I encourage you to keep speaking. (Not a real lawyer)

Hey uhm, have we gotten any news on an updated flu and covid vaccine for this year?
This is some pretty cool science news. Moderna is conducting its first human trials of for its Ebola vaccine. stocks.apple.com/AJZqCBPy-Qzq...

The reason the GOP hasn’t come out against Max Miller is because if they did they’d also have to speak out and go against their cult leader, which terrifies the shit out of them.

So we are all in agreement that the value of these shares are going to plummet faster than a SpaceX rocket can explode right?

AIPAC setting $34 million on fire was the best possible outcome here and we got it. That’s $34 million they can’t use to harm dem candidates in November.
post malone ergo propter malone@proptermalone.bsky.social · 14h agobtw if you’re ticked at AIPAC for whatever reason them spending a maximum amount of money to barely lose is ideal, 10/10, just as a pure matter of don’t-know-ball and forward outcome for them as an organization. this cycle has been catastrophic for them purely in terms of inputs and outputs
The GOP doesn't get punished if this country doesn't elect more leftists.
85% win rate puts it among the best runs in sports history.
Micah@rincewind.run · 24h agolook sometimes you just run into the Greatest Team In Baseball History (the July 2026 Boston Red Sox, apparently)
I was right about this. Today’s win makes this the best span in Red Sox history. 29-5, an 85% win rate.
Nick@natwell.bsky.social · 3d agoIs this the best 30+ game run in Red Sox history? 28/33 since sweeping the Yankees. It has to be up there.
Pretty sure I developed an aneurysm reading this.
Starfire’s Deranged Neocon Foreign Policy Podcast@irhottakes.bsky.social · yesterdaySaw a fight on here between someone uncommitted for a Dem nominee because they were on Uncommitted and a committed supporter of the Uncommitted candidate getting mad at them for being uncommitted to the Uncommitted candidate because only an entitled brat would say they're uncommitted. Peak Bluesky.
A competent person would have realized attacking Iran was stupid and not done it. I wonder if dort has reflected on the stupidity of attacking Iran and sought to reevaluate his life choices. (The answer is obviously no, but he should, and once he does, shut the fuck up forever.)
Banks permitted millions in suspicious transactions tied to Epstein—and former 60 Minutes correspondent Sharyn Alfonsi had the story months ago. But the report would never air. trib.al/ZShZlIS
It is not talked about enough how truly insane the GOP has become. However insane you think it’s gotten, it is much much worse.
Chris Hayes@chrislhayes.bsky.social · 2d agoIt was this one, and, yes, I do believe that was an All In first.
I’ve heard there are rare versions of Flock cameras where this ratio is inverted. About 1 in 8192 have 2-3 lbs of gold and 2-3 grams of copper.
Faine Greenwood@faineg.bsky.social · 2d agochat can anyone verify that every single Flock camera has about 2-3 Ibs of copper and about 1-2 grams of gold
Government run grocery stores do work, it’s called the Commissary. I don’t see people like Nicole screaming the military is socialist for having them.
