The unstated purpose of AI is to allow capital to acquire skill while taking away the ability of those with skills to acquire capital.

MO & OH Dems need us to help Rally support!

A commissioned poll shows nearly 1/2 of MO voters oppose the maps

The Dem committee needs over 100,000 valid signatures across multiple congressional districts before the state’s 90-day window expires on Dec. 11 to let voters decide on the maps.

Missouri Democrats have an opportunity to block a new congressional map. They say they’re largely on their own.

Despite relatively little investment from Washington, Missouri and Ohio Democrats are looking to block new Republican-drawn maps through uncertain avenues.

You know what I consider both evil and murder? The orange felon getting his updated covid vaccines whilst he, his deranged MAGA chaos agent RFK Jr and fascist republicans try to prevent the public from getting and taking those same protections.

Dear WH Press Corp
You should be ashamed of yourself.
Start demanding answers. Portland isn’t on fire. Chicago isn’t at war. Seattle isn’t thanking him.
ANTIFA isn’t assaulting ICE agents
Hold him accountable for the lies.
Refuse to ask anything else until he answers these.
Demand the proof

“We can give $20 billion to Argentina but we can’t afford the CDC’s measles experts” is a hell of an argument

Could you imagine having a job where you've called off all but 12 days in 79 days, and still have that job?

Yea me neither.

But the MAGA republican regime thinks that's OK, and if we check their CR, we would probably find they gave themselves raises again.

For doing nothing.

"The original #NoKings protest was 250 years ago. We've had democracy since then. Now we have a would-be king who wants to take it away—King Donald the First. Fuck that. Stand up and be counted in the nationwide No Kings protest on October 18."

Unbearably violent images from Downtown Chicago where a classical music concert was played on the Chicago River. This is too elegant and magical to be seen.

Just to be clear, this is EXACTLY what Pete Hegseth said, word for word, on video in a formal announcement:

“We’re signing a letter of acceptance to BUILD A QATARI AIR FORCE FACILITY at the Mountain Home Airbase.”
