Talarico’s argument is simple: Stop treating marijuana like a crime. Legalize it. Regulate it. Tax it. Stop wasting police resources on low-level marijuana offenses. Clear the records of people whose lives have been derailed by nonviolent marijuana convictions.
Microsoft made more money in the U.S. than the rest of the world combined. But it paid MORE cash tax to Ireland than to the U.S. federal government. The rigged tax code is working exactly as designed. They stash profits offshore. Working people pay the tab.

“We’ve got the world’s biggest economy, not because of real estate developers but because of science and decades and decades of the federal gov’t investing…some in gov’t don’t believe in science and don’t believe in the investments to stay in that leadership position.” -Sen Mark Kelly #DemsAbroad

The problem is, even if there is a process, it relies on people being transparent and the senate enforcing the rules. And that is clearly not going to happen in this regime.
Putting bets on how destructive wildfires would be is just plain wrong—opening the door to arson, public safety risks and insider trading. I’m demanding action to rein in the prediction markets letting people bet on natural disasters like wildfire.

Abdul El-Sayed, Michigan Democrats address primary win, slam Mike Rogers ahead midterm elections
Progressive Abdul El-Sayed defeated moderate Rep. Haley Stevens for the Democratic nomination for Senate in Michigan, NBC News and Decision Desk HQ have projected, a major victory for the Democratic Party's left wing in one of the most pivotal races of the 2026 election season. El-Sayed will now be charged with holding the seat of retiring Democratic Sen. Gary Peters in the pivotal swing state − the biggest electability test for the party's progressive wing in 2026.

SHOUT OUT to Mike Luckovich: one of the all-time great political cartoonists. 🏆 With corporate media doing such a poor job in these most perilous of times, his work is more vital than ever! THANK YOU @mluckovich.bsky.social!!! 🙏
Oops. Another Republican that can't keep their hands to themselves.
MeidasTouch@meidastouch.com · 9h agoNEWS: Rep. Chuck Edwards (R-NC) just dropped out of his re-election race at 3:32 a.m.m. He said he’s done running but will finish out his term. This after the House Ethics Committee found “substantial reason to believe [he] violated House Rules related to sexual harassment and hostile workplaces.”
Todd must be trying to figure out his next job. I don't think he'll make it as a comedian.

El-Sayed: "If all Mike Rogers got is that 'his name is Abdul, and my name is Mike,' you're gonna be surprised how many people are like, 'Yeah, but that's the Abdul who wants to bring down the price of my groceries and make sure I got healthcare. So yeah, I like Abdul over your Mike from Florida.'"

Punk ass Schumer standing around with his thumb up his ass. For anyone wanting to say that he didn't have the votes, I'm aware, he also has zero push to fight. Republicans would be throwing every procedural speed bump in Dems way, Chuck just sits his ass there and does nothing.
Craig R. Brittain@craigbrittain.com · 5h agoBreaking: HR 6500, which funds ICE, DHS and all other Trump regime programs until December, passes by voice vote with no opposition from Democrats or Republicans - and John Thune adds amendments - Chuck Schumer is present but does not object. The Senate will go on paid vacation on August 10th.
Republicans call Democrats communists the way toddlers call every vegetable broccoli.
