This story about Leonard Leo buying off Clarence Thomas via his wife has a real tip of the iceberg vibe. https://t.co/8docA9fOqG

Electric cars are booming – global sales are on course to jump 35% this year

In 2019, only 2.5% of cars sold worldwide were electric

In 2023, they're set to reach 18%

A non-binding piece of paper hasn’t done anything to stop corrupt behavior by Supreme Court Justices. The fact that Justices think this non-binding piece of paper is sufficient to prevent corruption shows how arrogant and out of touch they are with the American people.

People who think Emmett Till being lynched in 1955 is ancient history should remember that 18 current members of Congress are older than him & the white woman Carolyn Bryant who got him lynched just *today* died—w/o accountability

Its not ancient history—its contemporary reality

All 5 New College professors going up for tenure were denied today, despite approval from the college's faculty and previous administration. Every academic should be paying attention to what's happening there, now. Florida is very likely your future. https://t.co/9ZyvU7meyP

most people don't know that Colorado's rent control ban originated from 1981, after activists in Boulder tried to put a measure on the ballot to enact rent control here.

the Republican legislature — in response to that — banned rent control statewide.

🚨NEWS: Fox News says it can claim a tax write-off for its defamation settlement with Dominion.

The deduction would lower the company’s tax rate, effectively forcing taxpayers to provide up to a $200 million subsidy to the company for its election lies. https://t.co/IH0fiLiFo7

Please know that this bill is meant to legalize unaccompanied migrant child labor. Do not be fooled, be horrified.

Look at this graphic. Alabama & Republican states have among the HIGHEST murder rates in the United States & Republicans want you to believe it’s blue cities & states that are responsible for this. 100% false. Don’t fall for it.

Clarence Thomas has reported between $50,000 and $100,000 in annual income from a real estate company in recent years. There’s just one problem. The company went out of business in 2006. 🧐 https://t.co/uzLRTnDtsf

A team of data analysts has found the presence of Black primary care docs in a county, even a single one, means Black residents in that county live longer. Even veteran researchers call the finding stunning https://t.co/gt4pIe11Dt

3/ The dirty secret is that Fox News is the only commercial tv channel that actually doesn't need a single adl. They could have $0 in ad revenue and they'd still have more than a 35% profit margin.

That's cuz Fox is the 2nd most expensive channel on every cable bill (ESPN is #1)

Regulators are empowered to recall defective products when they cause harm, with one major exception—guns. There are no federal safety standards for guns even when design flaws seriously hurt people. Congress must end this immunity for gun manufacturers. https://t.co/t6CdWZAtxx

Looks like I’ll be spending my gardening money elsewhere from now on. Home Depot is a corporate sponsor and backer of the Cop City urban warfare training facility in Atlanta.

Hey Colorado, if you think your schools are already underfunded, just wait until this $2.2B neutron bomb goes off, devastating local community funding by radically capping revenue from every property, including from luxury homes & corporate headquarters. #copolitics #coleg
