One of my most galaxy-brained takes is that politicians and political groups should talk more about workers’ share of national income. It's one of the clearest, simplest ways to describe how billionaires and corporate elites captured so much of the economy--and something policy can change.

U.S. workers' share of national income falls to a new low

Labor's bargaining position has worsened markedly in the last half-decade.

We're doing infrastructure all wrong. Just a few well placed high speed rail lines, with of course wildlife overpasses in key places, and we'd alleviate some of that highway congestion. But nooooo We gotta prioritize fossil fuels.

We must be allowed to break laws with impunity so we can birth the machine god before others, and if we can’t steal and hack and crime, then the inevitable machine god won’t have the values we want and you’ll be sorry. Sounds insane, but that’s a prevalent, influential, respected ethos today.

And Trump will act like he is doing a great thing.

A couple went on a Fox News podcast and claimed the state of #Massachusetts took away their teen because they won't help the teen transition. But it's actually because the father was charged with beating and threatening to kill the teen and the mother was charged with witness intimidation.

Happy Moscow Burning Day to you too! 🔥

Trump and Vance to Zelenskyy 18 months ago: You are losing this war. You have no cards. Meanwhile, while Ukraine is kicking a much larger country’s ass who invaded it, Trump and Vance are losing to Iran.

Shameless incompetence.

Democratic strategists: Ahhh! What's the right message!!?? Where do we moderate!?!? Jon Ossoff: This administration is horrible. I hate these people. We should put them in jail. I'm pissed Voters: This guy is cool Strategists: I can't figure it out!!!!!

The problem that Dems will have in 28 is that they must prosecute & reverse everything this administration did, but the GOP candidates will say “move on” and the complicit American media will also ask, “isn’t it time to move on?”. We have an obligation to make sure nothing like this happens again

Republicans often take credit for accomplishments despite voting against them, while also attributing blame to Democrats for issues they either caused or allowed to occur. It is time for Texas to shift its political alignment.

Corporations are not people. Their money is not speech. They should not be able to buy politicians. End Citizens United.

6. How did we get here? The reason is obvious: Donald Trump's illegal war against Iran. In retaliation, Iran shut down the Strait of Homuz. The move squeezed the global supply of oil, raising gas and diesel prices. The AP ran a graph that clearly shows the cause-and-effect.

Democratic leaders and the media aren’t mad about Trump’s abuses because they honestly don’t care. I believe in Occams Razor and this is the most rational explanation for the last decade.

The foreign press is now reporting that Catherine Connolly, the President of Ireland, insisted on being seated away from Trump because he was emanating a disgusting “fecal” like nauseating odor.

The US Treasury intervening to calm the bond market and failing is a big deal. The Treasury seeing enough concerning signs to intervene would already be a warning light on its own. Attempting interventions and failing is a bigger one. For multiple reasons, investors have less confidence in the US.

Here’s Trump posting the results of the German election in which the neo-Nazi AfD did well. It’s important to understand that the U.S. Republican Party is part of a global fascist movement dedicated to persecuting minorities and stealing our freedom.

hello liberal democracies around the world, i hate to say it but you need to take a look at how successful the funding of fascist media in america has been for the far-right and you need to start counteracting this with your own dollars funding progressive media here
