Although they are marketed as flushable, wipes cause sewer backups and damage pumps in the wastewater system. Never flush them. Learn more: https://t.co/YwK990TfjW

Read it slowly. Carefully.

They're not even hiding it anymore.

This is what we're dealing with, which is a fascist, far-right disinformation machine — and it's chilling. Since it takes a modicum of intelligence to understand what is truly happening, America is in deep trouble. 😳👇

Amazing idea to break up an alliance that has kept the West safe for 80 years after two World Wars, and fulfill Putin’s lifelong dream, because the EU is being mean to Elon.

Meanwhile in Russia: this is how the most watched state TV channel in the country welcomed Melania Trump's upcoming return to the White House. Olga Skabeeva is trying not to laugh. This was probably her idea.

May I say a word for the Democratic Party for all its faults?

It is the Republican Party that nominated Trump three times, that gave way to Trump, that supports and enables Trump.

The Democratic Party in opposition could have done better. But at least they were in opposition.

It’s hard for me to explain the depth of sadness I feel about Jack Smith moving to vacate the remaining schedule in the DC case. All that work. All those filings. And Donald gets to just walk away from accountability. It’s profoundly depressing for those of us who seek justice.

Would #Trump’s new Chief of Staff, Susie Wiles, pass a background check? Her daughter Caroline Wiles failed a security clearance in 2016.

🧵Alleged family ties to a Kremlin-linked lobbyist infamous for the Trump Tower “dirt” meeting and lobbying against the Magnitsky Act.

My piece in politico points to the biggest change in our political world: how information flows. Latinos and young people, who shift led right, disproportionately get news from social media. (Local news collapse also shapes the new reality)

CBS News: Hungary’s Viktor Orbán seized control of universities rewrote the Constitution and neutered the courts. Is that what you're advocating for in the US?

JD Vance: I think Orbán made smart decisions that we could learn from in the US. (May 2024)

Our Star this Saturday is Stormwater Technician Claire Hansen! Claire helps protect the Eno River by making sure that only stormwater flows in stormwater drains and ditches. She also educates the public on stormwater management and helps with community stormwater projects.

Ever since the disastrous Citizens United ruling, outside spending on federal elections has skyrocketed.

Big money corrupts our politics and erodes our democracy — creating a vicious cycle that funnels more wealth and power to those at the top.

[David Frum @davidfrum]

Everyone who endorses the false claim that the US economy of 2024 is an inflation-wracked hellscape of misery for working people ...

is doing advance comms work for the Trump administration when in 90 days time they start taking credit for the best economy since the 1960s.

From Ipsos last month. People who answered factual questions about inflation, crime, and immigration incorrectly were "more likely to opt for Trump," while those who answered correctly preferred Harris.
Disinformation and lack of basic education and knowledge are destroying us.

This. We will not be able to get accurate information.

Here’s @mcuban saying the threat of Trump’s tariffs is already impacting how businesses operate, steering money away from bonuses and raises and storing inventory and raising prices as if the tariffs already hit.

[The Tennessee Holler @TheTNHoller]

Here @nytimes we fixed this for you

[AntifaPuddin’Pop @Andie00471]

One of my GCs I partner w is a Trump guy. We won a new job that will start next year. I just told him I won’t honor today’s materials’ pricing past January. He asked why. I said tariffs could cause 100% increase in COGS or more. That I would send new pricing in the spring. He said but I have to sign the fixed price contract w them tomorrow! And there you have it! One lesson learned two days too late! Too bad. So sad.
