85-year-old congressman Jim Clyburn just announced he's running for re-election.

Here he is last year, saying: ""I have had incidents when I was looking for my glasses and had them on."

Your grandmother-to-the-nth is almost certainly in my family tree, too, and it would be good if we learned to act like it. We’re all more like siblings than we generally admit.

Elon Musk's DOGE stole EVERYONE's private Social Security data and took it to a private company.

That's 350 million felonies.

My favorite quote, simply explaining the main reason why the ships aren’t sailing: β€œIt’s more about the safety of the crews rather than taking on insurance for damages.”

Because it never occurred to Donald that someone might care about the humans aboard the vessels.

LBJ, Trump, and the Freedom to Vote The president should use his authority to expand democracy, not restrict it.

President Lyndon B. Johnson used the power of the bully pulpit to demand that every citizen be granted the equal right to vote. Today, we have a president demanding that Congress pull back that very right. bit.ly/47Fxr3s

In Illinois’s Eighth District, AIPAC and AI Try to Buy a Seat - The American Prospect Pro-corporate Melissa Bean is massively outraising Junaid Ahmed, her main progressive challenger.

One of the Democrats who almost took down the ACA vote in 2009 is now pretending to be one of its biggest champions because her old district got much more liberal. She's a liar backed by $5+ million in Super PAC money.

This is a really good interview.It confirms what most of us already suspected: there’s no plan to end this war and Trump/Rubio have fired all the experts who could have helped. Iran will not open up the Strait of Hormuz just because Trump decides to stop the shooting.

Democrats ask what happened to millions earmarked for Trump’s library ABC, Meta, Paramount and X reportedly agreed to pay at least $63 million in settlements with the president. The original fund was dissolved last year.

Big Tech and Big Media donated some $63 million to a Trump-aligned nonprofit that was set up to help finance Trump's presidential library.

Now the nonprofit has disappeared and with it the money.

Three guesses on where it's gone.

New research published in Nature, analysing 33,000 fish populations across the Northern Hemisphere, found that fish biomass declines by around 7.2% for every 0.1Β°C increase in seabed temperature per decade. In some cases, losses reached nearly 20% in a single year.

The money that could have given Americans universal healthcare here at home is being spent instead to murder schoolgirls overseas.

Yeah well I mean, >85% of Democratic voters think this is a stupid fucking idea, >75% think negatively of Israel, and even >80% of Democratic members of Congress weren't stupid enough to vote against the WPR.

"He [Trump] is losing control of the decision to escalate... He can cut his losses now, pay a political price, try to stop the war, even though it would be a failure. Or he play for the long run and become Lyndon Johnson in the Vietnam War and face a more disastrous political outcome." - Robert Pape
