The left has one job right now: stop treating authoritarianism like a debate club topic. It is here. It is funded. It is organized. It is wearing a flag pin and thumping a bible.

Mike Johnson says Republicans have a plan to cut Social Security, Medicare, and Medicaid—after already passing the largest healthcare cut in history.

Higher costs, less healthcare.

That’s what Republicans are running on this November.

This is much more than guilt by association.
In a 2010 deposition, Jeffrey Epstein was asked:
"Have you socialized with Donald Trump in the presence of females under the age of 18?"

Epstein: "Though I'd like to answer that question… I'm going to have to assert my 5th, 6th, and 14th Amendment rights, sir."

NOW HE'S DEAD #DemsUnited #Epstein

🚨🇮🇱 Thomas Massie CONFIRMS Israel used NAPALM on the USS Liberty.

34 Americans were burned alive, skin boiling from their bodies, after the IDF dropped Napalm on the unarmed ship.

He confirmed this yesterday in the U.S. Congress.

The Epstein class is not a conspiracy theory. It is a social class: billionaires, fixers, politicians, media owners, lawyers, and institutions protecting one another from consequences.
Elon Musk and Donald Trump are part of the Epstein Class.

People protesting the mass arrests of women and girls in Herat, who dared to stand up for their rights and dignity, were met with Taliban gunfire, beatings, arrests, and violence.

This is the reality of Taliban rule: a regime so threatened by unarmed women that it responds to their voices with force.

The push for normalization, engagement, and recognition has helped whitewash a system built on oppression and the erasure of women from public life.

The world was told that Afghanistan had achieved “security” and “stability.” But there can be no security or stability where women are punished for speaking out, and no peace where fundamental human rights are treated as crimes.

Let's be precise about what Bill Pulte actually did.

In December 2023, Pulte organized an event at a Florida hangar for investors in a company that had already gone bankrupt. They paid $500 each believing he had secret knowledge about how to recover their money. He arrived in a helicopter that had taken off from the same airfield, circled overhead, and landed again for dramatic effect. Attendees signed away their shareholder rights to one of Pulte's associates as a condition of getting a single share of Pulte Homes in their ticket package. They got cases of Coors Light, bottled water, and a promoter slapping a supporter in the face with a green dildo.

The bankrupt company did not resurrect. Nobody got their money back.

This is the man now nominated as acting Director of National Intelligence. Not a reformed con artist. Not someone who made one bad call. Someone whose documented record across memestock promotion, a failed 50-year mortgage proposal, and opposition research that went nowhere is a consistent pattern: say what the audience wants to hear, perform confidence, collect the reward, and move to the next room.

The intelligence community employs roughly 100,000 people and holds the country's most sensitive secrets. Indiana families have kids in that workforce. The people who rely on accurate threat assessment to make decisions about American safety deserve someone whose qualifications extend beyond getting a retweet from Trump and buying a Mar-a-Lago membership.

Vietnam veteran is reconsidering being buried in Arlington Cemetery because of Trump's arch:

It's just simply inappropriate. If he wants to build a smaller arch that honors all veterans, particularly those who fell defending the United States, an arch that's appropriate in size and location, I'd have no problem with that. It's a vanity project.

So this has nothing to do with Joe Biden, but Trump and DOGE definitely screwed our cattle industry.

Excellent, this is how it’s done! Rep. Steve Cohen of Tennessee, a longtime member of the House Judiciary Committee, has filed six articles of impeachment against Chief Justice John Roberts, accusing him of letting the Supreme Court become a partisan weapon.

A new USPS rule created to carry out Trump’s plans to restrict mail-in voting is an “unconstitutional attack on the millions of Americans who vote by mail,” the American Postal Workers Union (APWU) said.

Congress created the USPS as an independent entity from the White House, the union says. https://t.co/Kcw2CiKW9i

Garcia to Reporter: Today we had Ms. Groff, who’s actually still testifying before the committee. She’s giving us, in fact, I think a lot of names of staff, employees, and folks who worked in the Epstein orbit. She worked for Epstein for 18 years, so she’s being asked some very tough questions, rightly so, about what she knew and who she scheduled appointments with. We know she scheduled massages, and that’s being asked of her.

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?
