This is what authentic American leadership and pride in our way of life looks like.

It’s friendly and welcoming to the world, eager to showcase and share what we’ve built with people from every corner of it.

“On behalf of everyone across the Big Apple, welcome home my friends.”

The sooner Andrew Hastie boots Angus Taylor from the Liberal leadership, the sooner we have a chance of saving Australia’s parliamentary democracy.

I say this from the heart.

I’d rather a strong competitive Liberal Party led by Andrew Hastie, than One Nation, who’s owned and controlled by Gina Reinhardt and Lachlan Murdoch.

Worst of all, Hanson is a die hard MAGA cult member and would send our kids to any war Trump wants us to join.

He is only 33 years old. This is the biggest moment of his career. He’s probably been waiting for it for months.

But who will talk about it? There are 48 teams, hundreds of players, and representatives from all over the world. Who will finally speak up?

Magyar said to the opposition that they need to go out from the bedrooms of the hungarian people. Children has the chance to live a loved life with a single parent or a same sex couple instead of being harrashed, abused and abandoned. A clear opinion! 🥹❤️

When celebrities meet their teachers again

In 1879, JP Morgan paid a man to invent the lie that is the foundation of modern economics.

A billionaire who helped start Amazon just exposed the whole thing on Diary of a CEO, and once you hear it you will never look at paychecks the same way again:

146 years ago, a guy named Henry George wrote a book called Progress and Poverty.

It was the first mainstream book about the rich systematically stealing from the poor, and It literally became the bestselling book in the history of the United States at the time.

The working class was reading it everywhere, and the people at the top of the economy completely lost their minds.

So JP Morgan personally brought a man named John Bates Clark to Columbia University, which was essentially the intellectual headquarters of Wall Street, and told him to fix the problem.

Clark wrote a book called The Distribution of Wealth. In it, he invented something called the "theory of marginal productivity," which claims that because markets are perfectly efficient, the amount of money you earn reflects EXACTLY the value you contribute to the economy.

If you make $15,000 a year, that's because you're providing $15,000 of value. If a hedge fund manager makes $500 million a year moving money around, that's an accurate reflection of the value he creates in the world.

And Clark literally said the quiet part out loud IN HIS OWN BOOK.

He wrote that they had to prove to working people that no matter how much they make, whether it's a little or a lot, it accurately reflects their value, because if workers ever concluded that their labor was worth more than they were being paid, they would revolt and destroy the entire system.

That was the whole point. The theory was built to prevent a revolution.

And it worked so well that it got absorbed into mainstream economics and is STILL taught as a foundational principle to this day.

Every time a CEO tells you "the market decides your salary," they're repeating a framework that was literally commissioned by JP Morgan in the 1800s to convince you not to ask for more.

Nick Hanauer, the billionaire who told this story, also shared the numbers that prove why it matters right now:

The median full-time worker in America earns about $60,000 a year. If that same worker had maintained the same share of GDP they held in 1975, they wouldn't be making $60,000. They'd be making $120,000. That gap goes all the way up to the 90th percentile. If you earn $180,000 today, you'd be earning $250,000 under the old distribution.

The ONLY people who benefited from 50 years of economic growth were the top 10%, and the vast majority of that went to the top 1%. That is trillions of dollars every single year that used to be wages for ordinary working people and now sits in the accounts of the wealthiest people on the planet.

This happened because of policy. Tax cuts for the rich, deregulation for the powerful, and wage suppression for everyone else, all justified by an economic theory that was invented specifically to make you believe you deserve exactly what you're getting.

And the craziest part is that GDP growth rates in America were 4 to 4.5% for decades when workers were included in prosperity. As soon as the neoliberals took over in the mid-1970s and implemented these policies, GDP growth fell to 3% and eventually to 2%.

Including people in the economy doesn't slow growth down. It's literally the thing that CREATES growth. And the theory that convinced the world otherwise was a hit job paid for by one of the richest men in history to keep workers quiet.

What do you think?

Trump-appointed U.S. attorney Bill Essayli tells @ChrisCuomo "there is evidence of voter fraud" in California and they're investigating voter rolls but did not give specifics.

"If you were to say to a judge, 'We don't know that they didn't do it' ... that works in politics but not in law," Cuomo said.

Rollins wants to blame Biden’s “open borders” for screwworm.

Tiny problem: USDA and CDC describe this as an animal-health failure driven by livestock, pets, wildlife, surveillance, and sterile-fly capacity, not some magic parasite caravan.

She also skips the budget history.

Trump-era cuts weakened the USDA/international systems that help hold the screwworm line. Then Biden’s USDA put $109.8M into emergency control in 2023 and another $165M in 2024.

So no, this wasn’t “nothing was done.”

If you’re going to politicize flesh-eating parasites, at least have the decency not to edit out the damn funding trail.

Ken Paxton’s former lawyer: My former client is calling you ‘low-T Talarico’ and a vegan

@JamesTalarico: I'm an eighth-generation Texan. My family's been here since it was Mexico. I've been eating BBQ since before Ken Paxton's first indictment.

If the best they have is lying about me being a vegan. I feel pretty good about our chances in November.
