Wyden has been the main voice pointing at the large trove of US Treasury documents that exist on Epstein that haven't been released either.

Epstein made 4,725 wire transfers of over $1 billion dollars, with no legitimate purpose... And yet was never audited by the IRS?

Shady all the way down.
I don’t like this

Insidious Waylon Smithers is the worst.
More specifically, he's lying that the SAVE Act is "voter ID." It creates a requirement at the time of *registration* to vote which is deliberately calculated to make traditional voter registration drives impossible. It is not what people usually think of and many states have, ID check at the polls.
Mike Johnson lies that voter ID "is an 80 or 90 percent issue on the polling nationwide"

If study after study shows what actually ends homelessness, it's worth asking: whose interests are served by keeping that truth obscured?

Wild to me, and it shouldn’t be, that there aren’t four or five republicans congresspeople and a dozen or so GOP senators who find this problematic and want to do something to stop it. I know they’re all in on perpetual grift via holding office, but still. Do they not know how this ends for them?

Another batch of Trump's judicial nominees refused in their confirmation hearings today to publicly acknowledge that Joe Biden won the 2020 election, which annoyed Sen. Richard Blumenthal enough for him to call them "monkeys" and "puppets"

Highlighting the speaker who stood in front of the Surprise mayor and told him to consider what the Mayor of Ohrdruf must’ve thought before he died by suicide: “He might have thought ‘how is this my fault I had no jurisdiction over this’ maybe he said ‘this site was not subject to local zoning.’”

I think greed is like any other addictive vice, and like other addictive vices, (gambling, tobacco, alcohol, social media, and even non-addictive ones like marijuana), should be taxed to discourage abuse.

Greed is a destructive force in society, just like other vices.

"rich dipshit owner doesn't understand the industry he's bought into and clumsily destroys what made it good" feels less like a narrative unique to the washington post and more like the music that's been playing in the background of all our lives for at least 40 years

The worst of us have all the money and they’re using it to do the worst things imaginable so that they can accumulate even more money. The rapacious accumulation of wealth beyond what is necessary to have what you want is a psychological disorder akin to hoarding physical objects.

Delighted that I, some goofball lawyer, could walk into Meta and have way higher "performance" metrics than most of their software engineers, because I'm just going to brainlessly keep feeding stuff into the coding AI until some other AI says it works, without ever understanding what I'm doing.
Meta now forcing all employees to use AI tools and tying it to employee performance, according to @theinformation.com.

HR said "this is not an activity tracker—it’s an impact-evidence starter"

That's a fun way to rebrand workplace surveillance.

This is civic action.

Surprise, Arizona. Pop. 167,000. Huge crowd shows up to the City Council meeting to oppose DHS recent purchase of ginormous warehouse. Meeting + overflow room filled and hundreds more gathered outside.

130 people sign up to speak. 128 opposed to ICE warehouse.
The overflow room at the Surprise City Council meeting has also filled up (it has a 500 person capacity). I can’t tell how many are still outside but we can hear them chanting “ICE out” in here so it seems like quite a lot.
