RFK Jr. is "like the guy you never wanted to have to partner with in science class. He thought he knew the answers and he's ultimately the guy who would light his hair on fire, and now he's lighting all of HHS on fire," says Michigan Senate candidate Dr. @abdulelsayed.bsky.social.

One of the great ironies of MAGA: millions of middle class people who would benefit from a new labor movement instead support the oligarchs who will absolutely lower their wages before eliminating their jobs.

Trump’s claim of $8 trillion in tariff revenue is so off-the-charts absurd he might just as well have said Eleventy Gazillion. Once a real estate grifter, always a real estate grifter.
He’s providing them with valuable mulching experience though.

I understand why the Trump narrative about the shooting went unchallenged in corporate media. I don’t understand why independent media didn’t take this up and not stop until the truth came out. It’s so obvious this event was more WWE than real. What happened to actual investigative journalism?

Unlike in his own businesses, where cheating someone out of was a dollar meant keeping it, this isn’t about frugality. This is simply Trump being petty and cruel.

Completely on board with this. We must learn from the world, who are less able to pretend this is normal that we are. Treat Trump like the global despot he is.

Ali’s segment was right on. No more Chuck Schumer “strongly worded letters” or Hakeem Jeffries protecting his Corporate donors. Our oligarchy needs a true Progressive to fight for us. We don’t have to agree on everything. We must fight in the courts, at the ballot box, and in the streets.

I used to look forward to MAGA simply dying off. But today I’m filled with despair that Fox News and other right wing propaganda are tapping into the male GenZ loneliness epidemic and creating a new generation of aggrieved, resentful white men who blame others for their plight.

Trump has no understanding of science, no respect for people who actually know things and who spend their lives in service to others. He is a soulless brute, a scientific ignoramus, too ignorant to comprehend the effect his actions have on his own rotting corpus let alone the health of the public.

Today after the shooting in Minneapolis when Right Wing stooge Marc Short brought up gender dysphoria out of nowhere, MSNBC’s Katy Tur should have thrown him off her show. That she didn’t is part of what’s wrong with corporate media today. There’s no “other side” to slaughtering children, Katy.

I think we agree, my point is government acquiring equity in key industries in order to control them is a big step towards that, it doesn’t have to happen all at once to be dangerous. I admit Trump is more Al Capone than Lenin, he just feels he deserves a piece of everyone’s profit.
