It's Wemby. Anybody trying to say it's not Wemby is trying to make something simple into something complicated, just for kicks.

Why? What's the purpose of this? Do you think he'll replace her with somebody better? These "impeach _____!" campaigns are a waste of time.

The fact that people don't care about this just shows how inoculated we are to the corruption of the rich. We just expect it. We're fish & wealthy corruption is the water we swim in. We barely even know it exists, we think it's just how life works.

The SAVE America Act is a voter suppression scam. It would take away the rights of working people to make their voices heard at the ballot box.

The Senate must reject this bill.

Two Progressives Fight AIPAC (and Each Other) in IL-09 - The American Prospect It’s a two-way race between Daniel Biss and Kat Abughazaleh, but neither is counting out AIPAC-backed Laura Fine.

Reporting from Chicago, our writing fellow @emmarjanssen.bsky.social dives in on Illinois' 9th congressional district, the most interesting race among the area's open House seat primaries next week, where AIPAC's favored candidate is collapsing and two different progressives are in the lead.

democrats saying that on the other side of whatever economic fallout is coming from trump & friends, under no circumstances are they going to raise taxes on the wealthy and corporations. best democratic voters can hope for is around the edges tax relief while cost of living skyrockets

Really starting to feel like some consultant pollster memo went out across the party saying that every candidate needs to have some kind of means tested tax cut. No other explanation makes sense.

What's awesome about this is that Amazon under Bezos got caught doing differential pricing in the late 90s and vowed to never, ever, ever do it again. They still change prices rapidly, of course, and now Bezos is recapitulating this at WaPo.

The National Security Case for Renewable Energy - The American Prospect Turns out oil is vulnerable to price shocks caused by blood-crazed presidents.

The Iran war is showing that renewable energy is a national security imperative, and that fighting renewables tooth and nail as the White House has been doing since day one deeply undermines national security, as @ryanlcooper.com writes.

The killing of schoolchildren should shock our conscience and cause us to recoil in horror.

A nation whose leaders can so easily shrug off the death of children, no matter the cause, is in need of moral repair. 

There must be accountability and lessons learned from this tragedy. And we must never forget that Iranian children, too, are children of God.

Elizabeth Warren’s Amazingly Progressive Housing Bill - The American Prospect How the Massachusetts senator enlisted most Senate Republicans to support sweeping legislation

A major housing bill passed the Senate yesterday with 89 votes, and we actually have two stories about it. First, here's Bob Kuttner on Elizabeth Warren's talent to find areas to partner with Republicans on bills that do deliver some degree of economic populism:

Under capitalism, new technology isn’t mainly about freeing workers. It’s used to raise profits by tightening control over workers, simplifying jobs, and weakening worker power.

This was *the* case pro-Israel defenders would point at to say "See? Israel takes human rights violations seriously!"

And after all that β€” including mobs of Israeli rioters and politicians storming a military base to protest the arrest of these soldiers β€” it's being dropped.
