CBS is cooked. Bari Weiss is about the worst choice you could choose if you wanted to report news. Folks the Broligarchs have openly shot their shot and are making moves in broad daylight. This will require complete unity on our part. nypost.com/2025/10/02/m...

1/ A longtime Wired editor just wrote a mush-brained essay about how he totally missed the political rot of Silicon Valley (& still doesn't get it).

But in the late 1990s, a Wired journalist warned of a toxic ideology bubbling up from tech. Paulina Borsook has largely been erased. Let's change that

The bailout of Argentina for no other reason than the president being a right-wing fellow traveler of Trump's is really absurd, and it's not just an economic bailout but a political one. Bob Kuttner has the story.

Bessent’s Bizarre Bailout

Today on TAP: Argentina will get U.S. help despite its perverse economic policies, only because fellow economic pervert Trump and Argentina’s Milei are soulmates. It won’t work.

The left and anti-fascists the world over need to take much more notice of what's happening in Myanmar. A fascist government is committing wanton acts of atrocity, and people are resisting. It deserves our attention, and the people deserve aid and solidarity.

Wake up America. Democrats will never save you from fascism. The duopoly is a scam, and you are the mark.

Democrats in the Senate: "I dunno about this Mamdani guy. He's said some pretty disturbing things about defunding the police and globalizing the intifada, or so I've been told"

also Democrats in the Senate: "I voted for a National Day of Remembrance for Charlie Kirk"
