If Jeff Bezos could afford to spend $75 million on the Melania movie & $500 million for a yacht to sail off to his $55 million wedding to give his wife a $5 million ring, please don't tell me he needed to fire one-third of the Washington Post staff.

Democracy dies in oligarchy.

still, great taste!

Primaries for senators

Senator Warren says: Here we have Zuckerberg and Bezos getting billions in tax breaks paid for by kicking 15 million Americans off their health care. How does handing out billions of dollars to corporations for research they did [years ago] lower costs? Trump IRS Nominee: I can't give you any view at this point.

Even Donald Trump’s top IRS nominees can’t explain how his “Big Beautiful Bill” makes any sense.

Sure seems like Big Pharma spent way way more energy, money and lobbying capital on fighting Dems on prescription drugs than doing anything about the Secretary of HHS casually, and without any real evidence, telling everyone their products kill kids and give them autism.

GOP: We will bury you!!!

DEMS: We look forward to finding ways we can work with our friends across the aisle to achieve the burying.

The plan? Change none of Pete Buttigieg's policies but give him a beard and run him again in 2028

The astonishing thing about Watergate, in contrast to today, is how the President was actually shamed into leaving office.

Imagine that: shame.

The Mothership Vortex: An Investigation Into the Firm at the Heart of the Democratic Spam Machine How a single consulting firm extracted $282 million from a network of spam PACs while delivering just $11 million to actual campaigns.

The annoying spam texts destroying the Democratic brand:

$678M raised through those spam tactics

$282M to one consulting firm: Mothership Strategies.

$11M to actual campaigns (1.6%)

The party isn’t just treating donors like marks—it’s being fleeced itself yet continues to back Mothership.

Rasmus Jarlov on Twitter writes: "There is nothing to celebrate. Moving from average tariffs of less than 2% on trade between the USA and Europe to 15% under today’s deal will inevitably lead to inflation. Almost everything will become more expensive in both Europe and the USA, and we will all be worse off. The economic illiteracy in the White House is doing serious damage to the West." Stylish Skunk replies: "I have a feeling you have 0 idea what you're talking about. In fact I know you do." Rasmus Jarlov responds: "Of course. I am former minister of trade in Denmark and you are an anonymous Twitter profile. You probably know a lot more than me. For sure."

lol

Dem Party: We are spending $20M to figure out how to talk to male voters.

Mamdani: Save your money. I have +45 favorability with male voters & +73 with men under 45. Endorse me.

Dem Party: No way dude. Now—why is our favorability is -54? Let's spend $20M on wealthy consultants to figure it out!

The Democratic Party's approval ratings are terrible, a young Democratic politician solidly wins a primary in the country's biggest city by generating enthusiasm and high turnout, and Democratic leaders think the move is to publicly distance themselves, even denounce him, do I have that right?

I'd just like to point out how weird it is that places with hundreds or even thousands of reporters — the NYT, WaPo, CBS, NBC, AP, etc. — are all getting pummeled on every major story by the dozen computerboys at Wired. To fumble the bag this consistently is, at some point, cowardice and a choice.

Crazy how Corey Booker stood up for 24 hours, people got all wound up that maybe the dems were gonna get off their asses, just to have them shift in their seats, continually lame observers, allowing all of this to continue.

but what do you really think brad lander hellgatenyc.com/brad-lander-...

i am begging you to primary the do-nothing party leadership so i don't have to clip their videos anymore. free me of this curse

the reaction to Mamdani's campaign is clear proof that centrism is a reactionary ideology, and has nothing to do with a pragmatic desire to win.

Aldi recalled some cheese. Saved you a click.

So you can avoid the clickbait it’s Popeyes Chicken

So you can avoid the clickbait it’s A&A Auto Parts, a Pennsylvania-based auto supply retailer

This you, Amy?

If this is who we’re lifting up, we’re not serious about change. We’re just repackaging the same centrist complacency that got us here.

Do better. Quit letting these centrist Dems exploit our trauma for their political careers.

Real question: Why was @amyklobuchar.com given the mic at the Hands Off protest today? THIS is who we’re rallying behind? A status quo, neoliberal, Milquetoast Minnesotan who voted to confirm 6 of Trump’s cabinet picks?

This is the voice of resistance protest organizers chose? Come on.

@chuckschumer.com has decided to charge a $56 (!) entry fee to hear him at his “Town Hall.” This boring useless grifter had better get a grip. It’s past time for him to RESIGN.
Meanwhile, Bernie and AOC are drawing in thousands FOR FREE!!

Hey I believe you but I was curious where I can go to learn more about this — I was trying to hunt it down myself but couldn’t find anything

Let me ask again: where are presidents Obama, Bush and Clinton. Where are the Fortune 500 CEOs? The university presidents. Is all this “leadership” stuff they tout just words?

I don’t want to think so but the question must be asked.

JEN PSAKI: Democrats just lost everything. They control nothing...

JON STEWART: They do control the email lists that continue to ask for money.
