If policy makers are genuinely concerned about loss of population in the United States, the easy answer is immigration. What they really seem to want is more white people.

Today is the fifth anniversary of one of the darkest days in U.S. history, an attempt to use brute force to block the lawful transfer of presidential power. We are a nation of laws, not violence.

The internship is a requirement for her degree, btw. There are less than half the number of available internships from a year ago. Those that are posting don't know if they'll get funded. And God knows there are no jobs in this field anymore. Elon Musk and Tr*mp made sure of that.

So Trump told the press he was going to invade Venezuela, and he told the oil companies he was going to invade Venezuela, but he never bothered to ask CONGRESS if he COULD invade Venezuela.
And congressional Republicans are just like… “meh”.
Are you fucking kidding me?!!

It’s hard to believe a president would time an illegal military attack to distract the public’s attention, but today is the statutory deadline for DOJ to release its report on the Epstein file production. Maybe it is just a coincidence.

Your daily reminder there are no ethical billionaires and tremendous wealth is not a sign of tremendous intellect.
It is, however, often a sign that something is deeply wrong with that person. Hoarding resources while millions go hungry is abnormal.

That’s where the culture wars come in handy. Distract people with fear so that they tolerate the money grab from tax policies that favor the wealthy and deregulation of consumer protections.
America has 925 billionaires as of this year. Collectively they have a record $6.9 trillion in wealth.
The bottom 50% of Americans control $4.2 trillion in wealth.
When 925 people control more wealth than half a country’s population, we have a very serious problem.

Release the Jack Smith transcript.
Jack Smith is calling for the House Judiciary Committee to release the recording of his full closed-door deposition before the panel.
"Doing so will ensure that the American people can hear the facts directly from Mr. Smith, rather than through second-hand accounts."
