I've been researching the idea of Unconditional Basic Income since 2013. Here's a list of findings I've compiled from various UBI experiments, unconditional cash transfer studies, and cash dividend research.

The data speaks for itself.

It seems there is an entirely different set of rules for Republicans and Democrats.

BREAKING: More than half of the publicly identified donors to President Trump’s White House ballroom project have won new or expanded federal contracts worth more than $50 billion, per WaPo

[Joyce Alene @JoyceWhiteVance]

So, the slush fund was just a fringe benefit. What Trump really cares about is the “almost as good as a pardon” deal he gave himself via the IRS. Explained here: https://t.co/tTiMtlkCu7

DeLAURO: So the blanket immunity for the Trumps is not something you're going move back on?

BLANCHE: It's not blanket immunity. That's not true

DeLAURO: It is!

BLANCHE: No it's not

DeLAURO: ... ... ...

BLANCHE: Nothing has changed with that

DeLAURO: Friends, listen to what is being said here. This is really pretty extraordinary

This is truly one of the worst things the court has done — both in terms of legitimacy and in terms of the law — since I have been covering the court.

Every time the shadow docket has touched a contested map, the outcome favors Republicans.

Texas gerrymander: allowed.

New York Democratic flip: blocked.

Louisiana: VRA gutted.

Virginia Democratic map: refused to save it.

Alabama: a Black district erased.

Same direction every time.

Scott Pelley issues new statement after being fired by CBS for opposing their pro-MAGA bias:

“New management has instructed me to inject falsehoods and bias into a politically sensitive story. I’ve been told to include assertions that are unverified. To date, in every case, I have managed to ignore these instructions or refuse them.

Recently, politicians have been invited to choose correspondents for interviews on the broadcast. Giving politicians control over 60 Minutes interviews is not how this is done.

Finally, incompetence and unprofessionalism in the new management have wreaked havoc. In a case involving one of my stories, the entire program came within 19 minutes of not getting on the air at all.”

"Workers are now taking home the smallest percent of America's economic output since records began in 1947," per MorePerfectUnion

[Mehdi Hasan @mehdirhasan]

This is an official government account in a democracy.

This is what Orbanism looks like. The president bragging, via AI video, that he forced a comedian who mocked him off the air and ‘into the trash’.

BOMBSHELL CONFIRMED: The Supreme Court corruption scandal that was lingering from a year ago? We can now call it CONFIRMED today.

Chief Justice John Roberts' wife pocketed $10.3 million recruiting for law firms with cases before his court. He illegally labeled it "salary" instead of commission on disclosure forms.

Justice Clarence Thomas took $500,000+ luxury yacht trips, $133,000 real estate deals, and decades of private jet vacations from billionaire Harlan Crow—all hidden from the public.

Justice Neil Gorsuch sold a $1.8 million property to the CEO of Greenberg Traurig—a law firm with 22 cases before the Court—just nine days after his confirmation. He left the buyer's name BLANK on his disclosure forms.

Republicans: "The Supreme Court is impartial!"
The Supreme Court: a billionaire-funded cash register.
Three justices. Three scandals. Tens of millions in hidden money and favors.
This isn't a court. It's a corruption convention with robes.

Tell me again why we should trust these people with our rights?

[Clarence Thomas the Tank Engine @TheRealJChubby]

It's insane how openly corrupt this administration is. Just so in your face with it all the time. Great reporting here.

[Garry Kasparov @Kasparov63]

The instant he lost his seat, Cassidy began standing up for things he’s known all along were right. Profiles in cowardice, through all the ranks of the GOP.

BREAKING: Donald Trump executed 3,642 securities transactions during the first quarter, averaging nearly 58 trades for every U.S. trading day.

This translates to roughly nine trades every hour or about one trade every seven minutes during market hours, per YF

[evan loves worf @esjesjesj]

Honestly pure dictator shit. A real democracy would immediately imprison him for even trying this

[Jamie Bonkiewicz @JamieBonkiewicz]

Every time Mike Johnson says “I don’t know anything about that,” a reporter needs to say “maybe you should start doing your fucking job”
