Under the “Big Beautiful Bill,” federal lands like Teton National Forest will be put up for sale to pay for tax cuts for the rich. Enjoy it while it lasts.

@Variety #WGA leadership is being next-level vindictive. 6 writers were charged and punished but ONLY the 4 who filed for appeal got their names in the trades. The Board rewarded the other 2 for their compliance with anonymity while the 4 have been subjected to an industry-wide shaming.

@Deggans seems like a bad idea

It's called "covering" the news, as in hiding it

I long for a Democratic Party that understands that Ronald Reagan is the root of so many of today's problems, not one that whitewashes his record (and crimes!) and pretends that he was some type of fine statesman.

(1/3) It needs repeating: in 1994, Ukraine was persuaded to give up its nuclear weapons to Russia in return for the US, the UK, and Russia guaranteeing Ukraine’s sovereignty, security, and territorial integrity.

Bill Burr: “There is so much fucking money in this country, and there’s so much work being done. If you work a full fucking week, you should be able to pay your fucking rent. You shouldn’t have to go and get another fucking job and still be struggling. It’s bad for the country.”

Pulitzer-winning cartoonist @AnnTelnaes has resigned from her position at the Washington Post after she says her cartoon depicting Bezos and other billionaires on bended knee for Trump was killed.

Her piece here: https://t.co/QHVFgM5g2r

[Wajahat Ali @WajahatAli]

Respect to @AnnTelnaes for quitting the Washington Post due to censorship over her on-point cartoon. More of this from artists and writers, please. Don't obey in advance, especially to the broligarchy.

[Aaron Parnas @AaronParnas]

Jeff Bezos never wanted this cartoon to become public.

He killed it, and as a result, pulitzer prize editorial cartoonist Ann Telnaes quit.

Make sure everyone sees this cartoon.

RIP Joe Lieberman, Iraq War cheerleader who led the fight to make sure Medicare was not extended to millions of Americans who desperately needed the kind of health care coverage he enjoyed in the Senate

Joe Lieberman leaves a towering political legacy of single-handedly killing the public option in the Affordable Care Act and spreading lies about the existence of WMDs in Iraq. A giant of the Senate.

[Charlotte Clymer 🇺🇦 @cmclymer]

I hope Joe Lieberman received the absolute best health care available in the last hours of his life, something to which every person should be entitled and something which millions of people did not receive because he killed the public option as a favor to insurance companies.

@Deggans I'd be happy to talk with you about it but it would have to be WAY off the record. There is such a climate of rage and retribution now on these topic. If a white male tries to engage in any nuanced discussion they are immediately shouted down as hateful, MAGA and misogynist.
