Nice to see WaPo confirm what I wrote about Tulsi in 2019...and what @realchrissyg has been saying for a lot longer.

They were right about Tulsi Gabbard.

@MetamateDaz I strongly dislike lazy, generational divide-type of takes. The older half of Boomers had the Vietnam War draft and the younger half got screwed by Reagan, too.

The Pentagon is the only place in America where you can fail 8 audits in a row, admit you’ll fail the next few & still get handed more money than you asked for.

But let a family need help buying groceries and suddenly it’s a lecture about hard work, responsibility & bootstraps.

Russia isn't allowed at the World Cup but still scored a spectacular own goal!

@mehdirhasan Mehdi with the deep cut.

[Elizabeth Warren @ewarren]

Since 2019, the revenue projected from passing a wealth tax on millionaires and billionaires has doubled.

That’s because the ultra-wealthy got even ultra-wealthier in those years.

Workers' wages didn't double.

Billionaire wealth did.

It’s time to tax the rich.

@fiago7 Now is your chance to experience another Chicago institution: your neighborhood Walgreen's. Get some spray-on Solarcaine for that nasty burn. They also sell sunscreen. Go with spf 50

Milwaukee — 93 years ago today

Jerome Silberman is born to a Jewish family in the one and only Sherman Park neighborhood. After graduating from Washington High in 1951, he anglicized his name to avoid antisemitism and became “Gene Wilder.”

This is the last completely Christian village in the Holy Land. This is what Israel just did to it. Are you going to do anything about it, Ambassador Huckabee? @USAmbIsrael

The U.S. has given Israel $352 billion in aid since its founding.

NASHVILLE: “If a data center project is not good for a zoo, it’s not good for an HBCU.”

Rep. @brotherjones_, students, alumni at @Fisk1866 U opposed a mysteriously-funded on-campus data center project shrouded in secrecy.

(His environmental racism class was abruptly canceled🤔)

[Chicago Bars @chicagobars]

Hmmm…. Ricketts, Mansueto, Ryan, Wirtz, and Reinsdorf families all figured out how to develop or expand their own stadium districts IN Chicago in past 15 years.

But one pro sports family, the McCaskeys (ably un-assisted) by Kevin Warren) couldn’t? Weird.
