Democrats should introduce national paid sick and parental leave and call it the MITCH Act. If you can be missing from your job for months as a U.S. Senator and still collect your full paycheck, working Americans should get the same deal.

Never forget that RFK Jr. testified in his divorce proceedings that he couldn’t afford alimony because he was so brain damaged he couldn’t hold a job.

Anyway, now he’s the Secretary of Health and Human Services.

Republicans have already bailed out farmers with $44.3 billion of our money over the past year because of Trump’s policies and now want to give them $11.1 billion more for a total of $55.4 billion but the vast majority vote Republican because they are against socialism.

I'll tell you why people despise Elon:

It's because he punches DOWN.

He's the wealthiest man on the planet, he has a quarter billion Twitter followers (mostly botted, for sure), and he uses his immense power and influence to punch down.

He deprived poor kids around the world of food, resulting in thousands of deaths. He hired a bunch of snot-nosed kids who cut and slashed and didn't have a clue what they were doing, f*cked shit up, and have not an ounce of remorse for what they did.

He stirs up alarmist racial animus -- he loves to post videos of Black and White people fighting, trying to frame it as a race war that's happening now. It's not.

He claims he's not racist because he f*cks a woman of color. Racists LOVE to lean on that bullshit.

You know who else f*cked women of color?
SLAVE OWNERS. You think THEY weren't racist?

And you know what? He and his family lived a privileged life as white South Africans under apartheid. Look it up.

If I had Elon's wealth, I would have already solved world hunger, and had more money left over than my great grandkids could spend in 20 lifetimes.

I would be a damn HERO. I'd solve homelessness too.

But that thin-skinned jackass used his wealth to basically curate the world's largest echo chamber to feed his goddamn ego with his groveling, soulless Muskite fans. He's trump with way more money and a slightly larger vocabulary.

This woman did a GREAT job interviewing Elon. She skewered him, triggered the hell out of Mr. Moneybags. The guy who "doesn't care," he did the old "No, YOU are" arguing method. Real mature.

He couldn't stand that this woman, who he looked at as beneath him, had the audacity not to quiver and bow to his pseudo "greatness."

He's a fucking TRILLIONAIRE whose cuts directly caused the deaths of THOUSANDS of third world children.

When I was a kid, and was about to throw away uneaten food, my Mom would say "Do you know how many kids are starving in Africa?"

As a kid, I was expected to have more empathy for starving kids in Africa THAN THE RICHEST MAN ON THE PLANET has.

He shouldn't do these interviews any more, not if he doesn't want to be completely reviled. He looks like a jackass.

And it makes NO sense: his cars, the Tesla, were meant to appeal to people like me, the Libs, the progressives, people who actually believe that climate change is a thing!

What does he do? Antagonizes the majority of us, having us look at other EVs like the Rivian or whatever.

And I don't give a shit if Space Karen sees this. He's been crushing my signal strength ever since he bought this app, despite his declaring the return of so-called "free speech."

The world's worst secret is that he's been propping up right wing accounts and throttling the rest of us.

Honestly, I saw this video earlier today, and I barely skimmed over it. I haven't normally paid much attention to what he does. I don't follow him on Twitter, and didn't even care about his interview.

But what struck me was how smug and entitled he was in the interview, like he couldn't believe she was talking to him like that. And then I remembered how all those kids died because of him.

Anyway, THIS is how you interview power: be fearless, unafraid, come prepared with facts, push them all the way back. Elon looked like he wanted to jump out of his chair and hit that woman.

BRAVO to her.
We need more journalists like her.

And f*ck the Epstein class.

R. Sikorski👇
„Związek Radziecki, którego spadkobiercą uważa się Rosja, pod koniec lat 30., czyli na 5 lat przed wydarzeniami na Wołyniu, przeprowadził tak zwaną operację polską.
​Widzę, że nie wszyscy rozumieją, o czym mówię.
​To znaczy szef NKWD Jeżow wydał rozkaz — oczywiście uzgodniony z Biurem Politycznym — zniszczenia wszystkich Polaków w Związku Radzieckim. Zamordowano ponad 100 tysięcy osób. Kolejne 100 tysięcy wysłano do Kazachstanu i na Syberię.
​I to z jakiegoś powodu nie zachowuje się w pamięci w Polsce. A uważam, że trzeba o tym przypominać.”
​Komentarz 👇
​„Wielka szkoda, że Radosław Sikorski nie został prezydentem Polski i nie wygrał rywalizacji wewnętrznej w partii Tuska.
​Myślę, że pozbylibyśmy się wielu problemów, które są teraz w relacjach między Ukrainą a Polską. Ponieważ jego stanowisko jest właśnie jednym z najbardziej rzeczowych, prawidłowych i takich... w tej sytuacji.
​Bo widać, że operuje faktami, zadaje właściwe pytania i, krótko mówiąc, jest naszym sojusznikiem w Polsce. Dlatego należy wszelkimi sposobami wspierać takich polityków w Polsce i nie wystawiać [ich na ciosy] idiotycznymi oświadczeniami czy działaniami z naszej strony.”

Panie @NawrockiKn, o jakich wartościach Pan mówi? Sam poznał Pan żonę na gdańskiej klatce schodowej, gdy miała 17 lat i była już mamą 2-letniego dziecka.
Co więcej, w momencie ślubu w 2010 roku ONA WCIĄŻ NIE BYŁA PEŁNOLETNIA (miała 17 lat)!
Wtedy patchworkowa rodzina i łamanie standardów Panu nie przeszkadzały?
Może o „wartościach” porozmawia Pan z Martą Kaczyńską, której nieformalne związki zniszczyły małżeństwa aż trzy razy?
Albo z Jackiem Kurskim, który po 25 latach i trójce dzieci bezwstydnie „unieważnił” ślub kościelny, i posłanką Chorosińską, dumną autorką zdrad i dziecka z kochankiem?
Dla siebie i pisowskich elit macie seryjne rozwody, zdrady, nastoletnie małżeństwa i kościelne unieważnienia, a dla zakochanych Polaków – średniowieczny zakaz?

[Jesus Freakin Congress @TheJFreakinC]

🚨BREAKING: ICE agents were filmed assaulting, handcuffing, and kidnapping a U.S. citizen in Passaic, New Jersey… while refusing to even look at the ID he repeatedly begged them to check.

A man is pleading with federal agents to verify who he is…

And they refused.

Instead, one agent says, “We need to get him on the ground,” puts him in a chokehold, throws him to the ground, and multiple agents pile on top of him before handcuffing him, and throwing him into their vehicle.

Under the Fourth Amendment, the government cannot arrest, or seize someone, without probable cause that they have committed, are committing, or are about to commit an offense that authorizes the arrest.

U.S. citizens are also not required to carry identification unless they’re driving a motorized vehicle.

And if federal agents are refusing to verify someone’s identity before arresting them, then they are openly ignoring the constitution.

Which should terrify every American.

Because that means no one is safe from being kidnapped by the government… and disappeared.

Every agent involved should be publicly identified, and DHS should be forced to explain why they believed they had the legal authority to seize someone, while refusing to verify who he was.

This cannot become normal.

The reason ICE was able to shoot and kill another unarmed person in broad daylight was because the last two times they shot innocent unarmed people this country did nothing about it...and didn't even properly investigate it.

Outrage is good.
But without action it's NOTHING.

[zellie @zellieimani]

It doesn’t matter if the man killed by ICE in Maine was authorized to work in the United States or not. It doesn’t matter if he had a social security or not. ICE should not be killing anyone. Period.

THOMAS MASSIE: “It’s ironic that we control the House, Senate, Supreme Court, & the White House -- and we're yelling 'election fraud'? We won all the damn elections.

What are we doing with that? We’re bankrupting the country. We’re starting new wars. We’re violating the Constitution. We’re not cracking down on the fraud. The problem is not the elections. We won the damn elections. The problem is that we’re wasting the opportunity voters gave us."

Texas Attorney General, and now Republican nominee for the Texas Senate Ken Paxton gave his friend 28 days in jail after he repeatedly raped a young boy.

He does not have to register as a sex offender.

He didn’t even lose his license to practice law.

[Mr PitBull Stories @MrPitbull07]

A young woman named MacKenzie Tuttle graduated from Princeton in 1992 with a degree in English. One of her professors was Toni Morrison, who later described her as one of the finest creative writing students she had ever taught.

After graduation, MacKenzie took a job at the New York investment firm D. E. Shaw. There she met a colleague named Jeff Bezos, who had an ambitious idea: selling books on the internet.

She didn’t laugh at the idea.

They married in 1993, and the following year drove across the country to the Seattle area to build what would become Amazon.

In the beginning, there was no global empire.

There was a garage.

MacKenzie handled accounting, wrote business materials, answered customer emails and phone calls, and packed orders alongside Jeff. Like many startups, everyone did whatever needed to be done.

As Amazon grew, MacKenzie stepped away from day-to-day operations to raise their four children while continuing to pursue her own passion for writing.

Her debut novel, The Testing of Luther Albright, won the American Book Award. She later published a second novel and quietly built a respected literary career.

Meanwhile, the story of Amazon became one of the most famous business stories ever told.

Jeff Bezos became one of the world’s most recognizable entrepreneurs.

MacKenzie’s role was rarely part of the public narrative.

She never seemed interested in changing that.

What many people don’t know is that she also knew financial hardship.

Her family filed for bankruptcy while she was still a student, and she has spoken about the kindness of people who helped her through difficult times—acts of generosity she never forgot.

In 2019, after her divorce, MacKenzie Scott received approximately 4% of Amazon’s shares.

Almost immediately, she made a decision that surprised the world.

She signed the Giving Pledge, promising to donate the majority of her wealth during her lifetime.

Then she did something even more unusual.

Instead of building a massive public foundation or attaching her name to buildings, she began giving away billions of dollars through large, unrestricted grants.

Universities.

Food banks.

Housing organizations.

Rural communities.

Women’s health initiatives.

Tribal colleges.

Climate organizations.

Small nonprofits that had never imagined receiving gifts of that size.

Many recipients reportedly thought the phone calls were scams.

They weren’t.

Since 2019, MacKenzie Scott has donated tens of billions of dollars to thousands of organizations, making her one of the most significant philanthropists of the modern era.

Despite giving away enormous sums, her fortune has remained substantial because of Amazon’s continued growth.

The woman who once packed Amazon’s first orders is now helping fund opportunities for millions of people she will probably never meet.

She never asked for buildings in her name.

She never demanded headlines.

Sometimes the greatest legacy isn’t the company you help build.

It’s what you choose to do with the success that follows.

Step 1: Remove filters in Reflecting Pool because Obama put them in.
Step 2: Give your criminal neighbor who runs "Greenwater Services" a $20 million no-bid contract to paint the pool.
Step 3: Fill the pool with water from the Potomac River, the phosphates from which cause algae blooms.
Step 4: Freshly sealed pool and extreme heat result in a super scum event
Step 5: Direct National Park Service to dump hydrogen peroxide into the pool which causes the paint to peel.
Step 5: Deploy US National Guard to stop people from taking photos of the swamp as a perfect metaphor for the administration.
Step 6: Blame someone else.
