Nothing would please me more than seeing an excellent candidate like @ColinAllredTX retire Ted so he can focus on his podcast... PERMANENTLY! #ByeByeCancunCruz
The June jobs report is out from payroll processor ADP — and WOW!
Private sector jobs in the U.S. increased by 497,000, blowing past expectations of 220,000. In addition, annual pay rose at a rate of 6.4%.
The official federal jobs report will be released tomorrow.
BREAKING: 174 defendants who were charged for their participation in the January 6th insurrection have said they were answering Donald Trump's calls when they came to DC and joined the violent attack on the Capitol. https://t.co/eJEg21LUoc
Lviv. Consequences of the night attack by Russian terrorists. Unfortunately, there are wounded and dead. My condolences to the relatives!
There will definitely be a response to the enemy. A strong one.
I’ve been in or around politics for over a half-century now.
I’ve watched as corporations ransacked our system.
In 1952, the corporate share of federal tax revenue was 32%. In 2020, it was down to 7%.
Here’s how we break the corporate oligarchy and return power to the people.
BREAKING—
The Department of Justice has filed a less redacted version of the search warrant affidavit that led to the FBI search and discovery of multiple Top Secret documents at Mar-A-Lago. https://t.co/C98iG8qhly
A CO woman asked me to write homophobic & anti-Semitic jokes to express her hostility to gay-marriage & Jews in general to promote her non-existent web-design business. Do I have to?
Good morning and Happy Wednesday to everyone who remembers that we legislated laws for wearing seatbelts in cars, against driving under the influence, and cigarette smoking, so why are we still waking up after a long weekend to news of 3 mass shootings in Philadelphia, Baltimore, and Fort Worth, TX?
Will an assault weapons ban stop ALL mass shooting deaths? No. But neither did the seatbelt law prevent ALL deaths, nor did the drunk driving law prevent all vehicular deaths.
But those deaths were reduced drastically. And the deaths were reduced drastically the LAST time we passed an assault weapons ban in the 90s.
Gun violence is now the leading cause of death for children and teens in the United States. Don't we owe it to them to try everything in our power to reduce those deaths? Especially when we have PROOF that it worked before???
BAN ASSAULT WEAPONS.
The DOJ and Office of Director of National Intelligence have no records of a "standing order" to declassify documents from the Trump administration.

There is a long history of right-wing front groups feeding cases to the FedSoc justices.
In this case, it was an imaginary injury.
In Janus and Friedrichs, it was right-wing front groups finding plaintiffs of convenience (and giving one a job).

On this 4th of July, 2023, I say this: We are the people the history books will write about, regarding the saving of our democracy.
We are the ones. Let that sink in for a moment.
When the citizens of the future, look back at the history of this country….they will talk about this period of time we are living in….right now.
They will read about how a rogue President sold out the country. How that individual attempted to hijack the nation, for his own personal gain, and how close he came to succeeding.
However, the story will conclude, with this:
“Those who were committed to democracy, came together in a way that the masses hadn’t done since WWII. They organized. They kept their cool, and pushed their fears into the periphery…and forged ahead with tenacity. Their steel like resolve and determination, to be the ones to save democracy in 2024-from what would have almost certainly been the final chapter for freedom-was the turning point. One that allowed for the continuation….of what you’re still enjoying, now, fifty years later, in 2073.”
I hope that while you read this, you feel something close to what I felt…while I was writing it. I do.
We. Are. The. Ones.
Now we have information from our intelligence that the Russian military has placed objects resembling explosives on the roof of several power units of the Zaporizhzhia nuclear power plant. Perhaps to simulate an attack on the plant. Perhaps they have some other scenario. But in any case, the world sees – can't but see – that the only source of danger to the Zaporizhzhia nuclear power plant is Russia and no one else. Unfortunately, there was no timely and large-scale response to the terrorist attack on the Kakhovka hydroelectric power plant. And this may incite the Kremlin to commit new evil. It is the responsibility of everyone in the world to stop it, no one can stand aside, as radiation affects everyone.
When you rent a car, you should receive the car you reserved on time—but too often, rental car companies shortchange consumers with delays and vehicle shortages. My Rental Car Consumer Protection Act protects travelers and requires companies to hold up their end of the bargain.
