On the plus side, at least she's not shooting them.

Walz: "I keep saying this -- what is the goal at the end of the day? There's not a single economist who backs tariffs. Linda McMahon -- I bet she's never been in a public school. What is she is gonna do to improve our students' outcomes and lives? There's a vacuum for us to fill."

How Putin is stealing the 2024 election. Trump isn't the only Nazi on Putin's payroll. Putin is financing Nazi parties in every democracy, and nobody is doing anything to stop him. Soon it will be too late.

Instead of watching Orange Hitler's coronation, everyone should read this today.

The most important news story the corporate media has been hiding from you:

How Putin stole the 2024 election.

Trump Picks Burgum for Interior Secretary The North Dakota governor helped strengthen ties between the oil industry and President-elect Donald J. Trump.

In April 2024, Trump asked Big Oil execs for a $1 billion donation in exchange for deregulation and tax cuts.

Who helped broker Trump's dealings with Big Oil?

Doug Burgum β€” who testified today before the Senate to be Trump's secretary of the interior.

See how this works?

How Trump Will Change the World The contours and consequences of a second-term foreign policy.

The professor mentioned above is Peter Feaver, who opposed Trump and still does, and thinks of Trump’s foreign policy as nihilistic transactionalism easily manipulated by chaos agents. Which sounds right to me. Here’s his analysis about what’s going to happen: www.foreignaffairs.com/united-state...

Just from a business perspective i don’t understand how these guys think allowing offensive bigoted crap on their platforms will be productive for them. Do they think there’s a larger market for people who want to alienate women and minorities than everybody else?

AI Needs So Much Power, It’s Making Yours Worse There’s a strong link between proximity to AI data centers and higher levels of distorted power in residential areas

AI data centers are multiplying across the U.S. and sucking up huge amounts of power.

New evidence shows they may also be distorting the normal flow of electricity for millions of Americans

Obligatory reminder that we had an effective vaccine for Lyme disease a quarter century ago, anti-vaxxers sued it out of circulation for humans, but since medicine for dogs is only lightly regulated our pooches have continued to enjoy protection denied to their owners.

Harris got the 3rd highest popular vote count in history. trump simply got more, given the global anti-incumbent sentiment globally.

When democrats lose elections they are told to change. When republicans lose election, they are never told to moderate. It's always about going to the right.

We have a peculiar historical event shaping up where the oligarch billionaire class is about to fleece this country while most of their supporters are working people who are convinced that they are on their side because they hate migrants & trans people.

Donald Trump has picked Brendan Carr as his FCC chairman.

Carr was a co-author of Project 2025 and wrote an entire section about the govt agency.

Remember how Trump said he didn't know anything about Project 2025 or who was behind it?
