Because when one eccentric billionaire can literally buy a stake in the military, when the Supreme Court has declared that the president can do anything he wants while in office—anything—you should be terrified.

Italian Senator Carlo Calenda left Jeffrey Sachs literally speechless and shocked by calling him a liar and someone who repeats Russian propaganda narratives.

I believe this is exactly how public accountability should work - when a liar is called a liar.

The Observer reports that the Royal Palaces estate contains some 360 properties. So never mind the Royal Lodge Windsor - why are we funding all those castles, palaces, and costly estates? How many does one family actually need?

SNAP benefits are about to lapse because of the shutdown. Reminders:
1. About 1 in 2 children will receive SNAP benefits at some point and 1 in 4 children are receiving benefits in a given month.
2. Trump is already planning to cut SNAP in other ways.

Whenever people complain about the number of folks relying on food stamps, it is worth reminding them that SNAP is, by too large of a degree, a subsidy for corporations that refuse to pay a living wage and their political allies who reject public policy prescriptions to reduce income inequality.

I’m sure it’s merely a coincidence that the guy who bankrupted casinos is now responsible for the first, second, and third longest government shutdowns in our country’s history.

Exactly an internet “Acre Trader”farmer buying up all kinds of distressed farmland with his buddies J.D. Vance and the prick from Palantir Peter Thiel. They rent farmland creating indentured servitude of farmers.

$25 million worth of farmland, according to NYT--over $1 million in annual rent--so, Scott Antoinette is upset some farmers might not be able to pay him rent--which would not be a problem, if there weren't the tariffs.
also, he's failed to divest as required by law

I still can’t believe Scott Bessent, whose net worth is $521 million, went on TV and claimed that he “has felt the pain” of the trade war because he is a “soybean farmer.”

And he claims to be a “farmer” not because he grows things, but because he is a landlord of some farmers.
