Billionaires "radicalize" the moment their unexamined bland liberal template comes into conflict with being a billionaire. We should not talk about these people in terms of changing, but of who they chose to be when they were finally required to do so.
Jeff Bezos once grieved Jamal Khashoggi’s killing—now he’s in business with the man who orchestrated the savage murder, in a deal that lays bare his true colors, @passantino.bsky.social writes for the Saturday edition of @status.news.

if you're ever talking about a TV show on social media and encounter someone who has the name of the TV show in their bio:
1) remain calm and still
2) stand up straight and extend your arms to make yourself big
3) address them in a low, quiet voice
4) do not run, but back away slowly

Chaos for Trump and GOP—The House Budget Committee blocks the GOP tax and spending bill from advancing in a 16–21 vote. Republicans Clyde, Roy, Brecheen, Norman, and Smucker voted NO. An embarrassing setback for Johnson and Trump from their own party.

I'm watching CNBC. These anchors are so angry. They really didn't believe he'd do it. They're actually just now, 10 years into this shit, realizing he's a maniac hellbent on revenge and there's no grand plan for the markets. Better late than never but holy shit.

Booker’s speech, which began at 7pm on Monday night, was not a filibuster but instead an effort to warn of what he called the “grave and urgent” danger that Donald Trump’s presidential administration poses to democracy and the American people. Continue reading...

It’s truly insane that the economy is in a free fall and the president, who doesn’t drive, is spending his time giving a PR boost to the car brand of his billionaire buddy.
