"Taxing the ultra-wealthy is an idea so obvious that both Bernie Sanders & Mitt Romney agree it's the right way forward. I hope every candidate will commit to advancing policies like the one I proposed earlier this year to increase taxes on Utahns making over $1 million each year."

When even Mitt Romney can see that neoliberal economics has been a failure, the dawning of a new age is near. It's up to us to make it happen. Demand better from our representatives. Where needed, demand better representatives.
Mitt Romney, “we have reached a point where any mix of solutions to our nation’s economic problems is going to involve the wealthiest Americans’ contributing more.”

DOJ broke the law today by refusing to produce all the Epstein files. It also broke the law by redacting information other than to protect victims. Yet, the corporate media is acting that DOJ did us a huge favor.

So...
1. How much pressure was placed on the broadcast networks by FCC Chair Carr to air what turned out to be an idiotic tantrum?
2. How much of a mistake was it for the Trump regime to expose Trump's dementia/insanity to a much larger TV audience while preempting very popular programming?

“In effect, Trump took to the airwaves, pointed his finger, and said: Quiet, piggy.” Thanks, @radiofreetom.bsky.social
For 20 minutes, Americans watched Donald Trump address the nation, “drenched in pure panic as he tried to bully an entire nation into admitting he’s doing a great job,” @radiofreetom.bsky.social argues:
This Is What Presidential Panic Looks Like
Donald Trump delivered a fear-drenched rant live from the White House.

The DNC's failure to release the report also seems to evade taking a public stand on some of the biggest questions in the party right now, such as how to talk about immigration:

He says he's brought down inflation and prices both. Yet the price of his ballroom has doubled in just a few months.
I'm starting to wonder if the whole point of the damn ballroom project is simply to launder bribes. (Not a very original take, I know.)

Working at bookstore, woman comes in tells me she saw a movie about WWII, did we have the book it was based on?
I said we'd many books on WWII.
She looks confused, It's part of a series?
I ask if she wants history or fiction.
She smirks, "Um, movies are pretend. Made up" like I was the biggest tool.
