Congress has completely abdicated its responsibility to hold the president accountable through the impeachment and removal power.

And SCOTUS is fully complicit with this blatantly unconstitutional act of betrayal against the people of the United States.

The Fascist Trump Regime is waging OPEN WAR against American cities and states that are governed by Democrats.

The Regime is also openly weaponizing the justice system to target political opponents, private enterprise, and the free press.

President Trump is abusing emergency powers to evade legal constraints on his actions, but he doesn’t actually have many of the powers he claims to have. My take in @gtownnatsec.bsky.social’s special edition on national security issues in the second Trump administration: tinyurl.com/3434ss8e

OF COURSE there's a billionaire behind the evidence-free belief that trans people cost Kamala the election.

Y'all understand that rich people have been using divide-and-conquer to great success since the days of indentured servants and enslaved Africans, right? And it's still working!

It's tucked into this Atlantic article about Searchlight, but I actually want to read more about how the contrarian debate seems to be driven largely by one donor advisor and/or his billionaire clients.

Tesla’s Cybertruck is flopping hard. The company sold just 5,385 units in the third quarter and a little over 16,000 so far in 2025—a far cry from the 250,000 Elon Musk once predicted would be sold annually.

The Affordable Care Act has proven a big success with the public, according to a new CNN poll. It’s gained 40 points in net favourability since 2014 and now stands at +30 points net favourable.

More Republicans than Democrats now use the ACA marketplace.

While he helps Wall Street get richer, Trump wants to make it harder for you to open up a small business.

I was wondering if Trump and his merry band of dipshits were dumb enough to grab this particular third rail. Apparently they are. I know die-hard Trumpies who worship their guns far more than they do their Golden Pig. Can confirm they ain't happy about this. At all.

Smells like some creative maths there, Elmo. How long before SpaceX sells these back to Tesla or to X in this shell game?

SpaceX has already taken delivery of hundreds of unsold Tesla Cybertrucks and is expected to receive thousands more

Tesla Cybertrucks haven't been doing so good sales-wise, so hundreds of them have been sold to SpaceX, with more expected to be on the way
