@zachdcarter It takes a truly delusional amount of hubris (and financial support) for a politician to think they have a chance to win a national election when they wouldn’t even win their home city or state. He should be shamed out of politics forever.

Michigan Governor Gretchen Whitmer caught on a hot mic talking about the controversial Al data center being built despite overwhelming opposition: "We're used to people saying 'f*ck no!', and then doing it anyway."

a lot of people who claim to love this country actually just love capitalism and that they personally attained wealth through it

there’s no love for what actually unites America. there is zero civic pride. no care for the common good.

they don’t love the U.S. they love the USD.

[Evo Morales Ayma @evoespueblo]

EEUU ordenó al gobierno de Rodrigo Paz ejecutar una operación militar, con el apoyo de la DEA y el Comando Sur norteamericano, para detenerme o matarme.
Entre los impulsores de esa acción están el exministro de Gobierno de Gonzalo Sánchez de Lozada -que fugó a Miami luego de la Masacre de Octubre Negro (2003)- Carlos “Zorro” Sánchez Berzaín; y el Viceministro de Defensa Social, Ernesto Justiniano, que se encuentra en Washington.
Previo a eso, el gobierno aplica una intensa campaña de difamación, insultos y acusaciones sin pruebas, con el asesoramiento de extranjeros expertos en guerra sucia y fake news (noticias falsas), como el argentino Fernando Cerimedo enviado a Bolivia por el derechista Javier Milei y cuyas operaciones sucias ya fueron reveladas por periodistas bolivianos honestos.
Se encuentran en el Trópico:
Novena División de Ejército: Comandante Cnl. Franz Andrade Loza. El gobierno le prometió ascenderlo a general y nombrarle comandante de las FFAA si acaba con Evo.
El F-10 dependiente del Comandante en Jefe de las FFAA (Gral. Víctor Hugo Balderrama), al mando del Tte. Cnel. Carlos Giménez Ortuño, ex ayudante del ministro de Defensa de Jeanine Añez, Fernando López.
El CITE (unidad militar de paracaidistas) comandado por el Tte. Cnel. Santiestevan, que estuvo encarcelado por las masacres del régimen de Añez en Sacaba y Senkata.
El CIE 298 (Compañía de Inteligencia del Ejercito) cuyos miembros entrenaron en Cotapachi para ejecutar la operación en el Trópico.
Francotiradores de F-10 del Regimiento Ranger de Challapata.
Desde el Batallón Ingavi VII Sajama, fueron enviados decenas de militares, entre coroneles mayores, capitanes, tenientes y suboficiales.
Los militares bolivianos estarán bajo el mando de marines norteamericanos y agentes de la DEA paraguayos, a quienes no les importa masacrar a hermanos y hermanas que residen en el Trópico.

not so fun fact: Tapper's Sunday show State of the Union has not featured a single Palestinian or Palestinian-American guest in almost 7 yrs. The last time was in 2019 when Tapper interviewed Rep Tlaib and grilled her about BDS and asked if Israel had a "right to exist" 3 times

The idea of “low-tax” red states is a myth. Lower-income and working-class people pay higher taxes in Texas than in California. Middle-class people pay about the same in both states. Rich people pay much lower taxes in Texas.

@jonathanmaze There is no shame felt in the complete dissolution of antitrust enforcement and consumer protection, apparently.

[Matt Strickland @MattForVA]

This isn’t a small deal. Restaurant Depot is where most mom & pop restaurants go to buy inventory because Sysco is so expensive.

Restaurant Depot was privately owned. Sysco is owned by… you guessed it, BlackRock & Vanguard.

Now private equity can control pricing for food costs with zero competition. Just like they did with housing.

This should be an anti-trust violation, but we have politicians that work for Big Corp, not us.

An unarmed Iranian ship was invited, along with the U.S., to be part of an Indian Naval exercise, and its sailors paraded on land before the president.

The U.S. at the last minute pulled out of the exercise and instead attacked the Iranian ship with a torpedo.

Breaking with all norms of civilization and warfare, we then refused to rescue the drowning survivors. The Sri Lanka Navy was left to pull the dead bodies from the water.

I am hard pressed to think of any other nation throughout history that would do something so cowardly and despicable. We are genuinely in a league of our own, and American media — mostly shrugging off the bombing of a girls school and acting as if carpet bombing Tehran is a normal military tactic — is deeply complicit.

[Adam Johnson @adamjohnsonCHI]

No one realistically thinks Iranians will “rise up” in league with the armies bombing their apartment buildings and elementary schools. The goal is to destroy, terrorize and sow sectarian and ethnic conflict, to create a thousand Lebanons that are weak and they can bomb at will

[Prem Thakker @prem_thakker]

The phrase “preemptive strike” is as insulting as when we were sold “humanitarian pauses” in the middle of a live-streamed genocide. The powerful looking you straight in the face and telling you your common sense simply doesn’t matter.

Most of this year's ICE budget comes from last year's reconciliation bill. House Democratic leaders discouraged its members from offering amendments eliminating that funding. Didn't want the party to come across as anti-ICE.

[Eric Michael Garcia @EricMGarcia]

Alex Pretti was a Boy Scout, ran track, and played football and baseball in high school. He worried about the Latino man who repaired his garage and given the ICE crackdown, gave the man a $100 tip.

His mom said "he loved this country, but he hated what people were doing to it."

[Stephen Semler @stephensemler]

4% of Democratic voters want to increase military spending.

70% of House Democrats just voted to increase military spending.

@drewfav @washingtonpost They’re competing with the NYT to see who can have the least journalistic integrity

[austerity is theft @wideofthepost]

its like this for “creative destruction” time and again, take some naked privatization effort that involved a lot of illegality to build market share, slap some “tech” narrative branding on top of it so its viewed as inevitable and then let vc gobble up some extraneous market
