I get Romney is retiring & doing his tell all book but—
1. We already knew all this. Him affirming it makes zero difference.
2. He's still in power. He can vote w/Dems & pass BBB, child tax credit, abolish filibuster, etc—but won't.

Talk is cheap. Let's see action for justice.

Deceit isn't just a routine part of Musk's public statements. It's a core practice in how he does business.

The New York Times

Time for everyone to make their views known.

We just witnessed a political massacre and a coup d’état by the North Carolina Supreme Court. Five Republicans—all white—with two African-Americans dissenting, decided to be the focal point of voter suppression in North Carolina.

“This state” takes ten characters; “Nevada” takes six.

This is a forward reference headline, which goes out of its way to conceal what the corresponding story says.

It’s a consequence of click-based advertising and of course it makes our information streams less useful. The practice started among clickbait junk websites but has spread to CNN, the Washington Post, the New York Times, and others.

@jeffjarvis Democrats: “Well it’s very important that we follow precedent and norms since we pride ourselves on being the adults in the room so we’re going to have a 11-point plan to manage around…”

Republicans: “Black and trans representatives aren’t allowed to talk anymore. We’re also taking the debt markets hostage until every social media account follows Tucker Carlson”
