DeathSantis smiles as Ladapo, a quack who is a longtime skeptic of the benefit of vaccines, and who has previously been accused of peddling “scientific nonsense” by public health advocates, makes possibly his most preposterous analogy yet. www.theguardian.com/us-news/2025...

Massie (R-KY) is just on fire: "I don't know if that's precedented in this country to have a president call legislators to say that they're engaged in a hostile act, particularly when the so-called hostile act is trying to get justice for people who've been victims of sex crimes." #TrumpEpstein

Look at this graph. The share of national income going to the richest 10 percent was lowest (and share to lower 90 percent highest) when union membership was at its highest. As unions have weakened, inequality has widened. This is why we must build back union power.
