We - with good reason - spend hours trashing Elon Musk for destroying Twitter. But I'd say that Sundar Pichai and Prabhakar Raghavan deserve a hundred times more bile for destroying Google Search, and have casually harmed society so that they can make Google over $100bn a year.

There's a lot to factor in to assessments of this moment in the Middle East. One thing not to forget is just how profoundly stupid the Trump decision to pull out of the Iran nuclear deal was.

True

Given what we know of Russian intentions and European investigations, the presumption has to be that some US legislators are on the Russian payroll. Nice analysis here. newrepublic.com/article/180630…

I'm American. Lived under ru terrorist occupation for 45 days. Can confirm, everything is true.
There IS no law or order. Stealing is the least of your problems. Orcs can murder anyone on the street, without repercussions.

In recent years, they all paid their execs more than they paid in taxes.

This is what a corporate-rigged system looks like.

I recall Steven Mnuchin gifting millions of dollars in PPP covid loans to himself, Joel Osteen, Betsy DeVos, Kanye West, Tom Brady, Moscow Mitch’s wife Elaine Chao, Jared Kushner, MTG, many GQPers and it was all forgiven. Fascist republicans can STFU about student debt relief.

Do you know how Republicans won a filibuster-proof majority in the Florida Senate?

They paid a former state Senator a six-figure dark money payment, which he used to recruit a fake candidate and flood races with dark money mailers.

FPL made the plan.

Putin desperately needs Trump. If he doesn't take Ukraine, he's a dead man.

Trump desperately needs Putin. If he doesn't win the election, he's a dead man in prison.

Same w Netanyahu.

3 desperate monsters all being aided by House Republicans.

While the DeVos/Koch voucher lobby’s bill is stalling in the TN leg over whether voucher schools will be subject to academic testing:

Reminder that vouchers have some of the worst academic results—ever.

The scale is on par with COVID and Katrina declines. The cause is that…

The Republican Party died when Putin’s POTUS fired the FBI director during Russia probes, then celebrated with Russia’s top spies in the Oval Office, giving secrets that got people killed. It since morphed into a powerful instrument of war for Russia, with many more being killed.

Well said.

I would add:

Matthew 6: Forgive us our debts, as we forgive our debtors.

Matthew 18: Forgive because your debts have been forgiven.

The voucher lobby is fighting so hard to prevent private schools from testing is because their national backers saw same data I do—they just don’t say it.

They’re desperate to avoid more headlines like these 👇

CBS’s Paula Reid and CNN’s Kaitlan Collins pierced Trump’s bubble and he couldn’t handle it presswatchers.org/2020/04/cbss-p… Great piece from Dan Froomkin (PressWatchers.org)

The 1864 Arizona law forbidding most abortions, upheld by the State Supreme Court, also sets the age of consent for females at 10 Years.

No doubt, the real reason those pigs chose this law to resurrect.

Duke admits 11% of the general applicants but 23% of legacy applicants—whose parents and grandparents parents were accepted during Jim Crow.

Duke didn’t even accept Black students until 1963. Now Black scholarships are banned but racist Jim Crow Legacy thrives.

This is America.

Wow. Two of the FEC commissioners reviewing the complaint about Ted Cruz funneling podcast money to his super PAC have major conflicts-of-interest.

One endorsed him in 2016—the other, the current FEC Chairman, worked for him.

NEVERTHELESS, THE LOWER IT GOES, THE WORSE TRUMP IS. So lets put some numbers on that hoped for misery. This counts as Rosie for me. TRUMPS STAKE HAS DIMINISHED BY 3.8B IN TWO WEEKS. That clown Nunes has managed to lose 5.5M.
