I wonder how much overlap exists between those who want to abolish and those who want to expand the Supreme Court. Both are fundamental questions of power that Dems have avoided in recent decades.

You’re describing the rejection of the civilizing process. Sadly, the preconditions for that resistance were and still are prevalent in the U.S.

The second amendment means more to the racists than the second commandment

In 75% of US industries, fewer corporations control more of the business than 20 years ago. That's especially true in the food industry. Just four corporations control 54% of the fresh-cut salad industry, including Taylor Fresh Foods. We're seeing in real time the danger of monopolization.

When McKinley put tariffs on in 1890, they lost 50% of their seats in the next election. When Smoot and Hawley put on their tariff in the early 1930s, Republicans lost the House and the Senate for 60 years. L F G !

lots of reporters suddenly worried about slipping into communism but strangely f*cking quiet about slipping into fascism

Murray: "He has told us over 40 times now that a deal is near and the war will be over soon. But now he's asking for $70 billion more and for us to just trust him it'll work out."

You might get sick of hearing this but if he keeps doing it I'm gonna keep saying it: this is an unconstitutional impoundment, violating both Congress' Article I spending authority and the 1974 Impoundment Control act, and immediately impeachable.

Corporations have been hiring MAGA-world lawyers with ties to Trump to lobby on their behalf. The latest example? Taylor Farms hiring a former Trump White House official as it deals with a cyclospora investigation. This also comes after it donated $1M to Trump's super PAC. See the problem?

Americans are relearning the lesson we learned during the Gilded Age of the late 1890s, when robber barons ran the government and the economy for their own benefit: Oligarchy is incompatible with the common good. I'm hopeful we'll respond with a new progressive movement.

My man looks like Nosferatu

Does he want to run for reelection as a Republican or become a commentator on Fox after his first (God willing) term ends?

After becoming best friends on FaceTime, these two dogs finally met in real life. 😍

Just 10 billionaires have already poured over $600 MILLION into this year's midterms. In the entire 2008 presidential cycle, the last election before Citizens United, total billionaire spending was $16 million. But two states have a plan to take on Big Money. Watch.

The US built the greatest talent magnet ever, attracting the smart, skilled, and striving. They’d come to study, then stay and build things here, or leave with positive impressions and fruitful connections. Helped make the US wealthy and powerful. Then America chose to throw it away. And for what?
