McMorrow: Don’t piss on my leg and tell me it’s raining. Nothing is working right now. Our automakers are gearing up for the worst…
And just as a reminder: all of this was man-made. Trump chose to do this. And it’s just a mess on the ground right now

Talerico: They are trying to insulate themselves from the will of the people. Normally, when you pass unpopular policies, you lose seats in the next election. That's how this is supposed to work.

Bove is going to be the new Clarence Thomas, but worse (until he gets elevated): A petulant, vindictive asshole who is going to use the bench to make up for his moral emptiness and deep sense of inadequacy

Norfolk Southern & Union Pacific announced a merger yesterday.
If approved, the combined railway giant would control 40% of rail freight in the US.
In 75% of US industries, fewer companies control more of the business than 20 years ago.
The monopolization of America continues.

United Farm Workers President Teresa Romero -
Two years ago, we invited all 100 senators to work in the fields. Only two of them accepted: Alex Padilla and Cory Booker.

RFK Jr.’s bird flu plan? Mass death.
A vet warns his idea to let it rip through farms will “kill all of them.” Other countries use vaccines. Smarter farming works. But RFK Jr. thinks mass infection is the answer. Disaster waiting to happen.
