Farmers vote Republican despite policies that harm them and enrich agribusiness. Decade after decade…
House Republicans are blocking a unanimous(!) agreement by the Senate to pay TSA, Coast Guard, and other essential employees
There is zero question which party is creating chaos at the airports. It's the Republicans

Trump wants you to believe he’s more powerful than he is - and that you have less power than you do.
Tomorrow, millions of Americans will gather to remind one another where power actually resides in this democracy: with us, the people.

Trump FCC Chair Brendan Carr is a disgrace.
The Trump Administration is walking away from its responsibility to protect consumers and competitive markets — putting corporate profits ahead of working families.
California is stepping up to fill that void.

This is a great site doing important work. They make me proud to be a supporter.
why aren't other countries helping us with the strait of hormuz after we started an unjust war, cut off trade, and insulted them for a year?

Now this is interesting.
Will the US now keep supporting Russia against Ukraine?
We renamed it “Regime 0” to help with pronunciation!
Regime 0 is easier to say. We switched to that.
Sen. Ossoff Statement on Iran Atlanta, Ga. - U.S. Senator Jon Ossoff today released the following statement. "Eight months ago, Donald Trump lied to the country when he claimed U.S. air strikes had 'obliterated' Iran's nuclear program. "Now Trump says he's taken America to war for regime change in Iran. "Trump has launched this regime change war and put American forces at risk without presenting evidence of an imminent threat, without clear objectives, without having exhausted diplomacy, without a plan for the aftermath, and without the consent of Congress. "I oppose yet another regime change war-of-choice in the Middle East. Congress must convene immediately and pass a War Powers Resolution to assert our Constitutional authority over war and peace. "The President has presented no evidence that Iran or its nuclear program — which he falsely claimed to have 'obliterated' — pose an imminent threat to the United States, or that diplomacy was exhausted. Iran's support for terrorism and uranium enrichment have long destabilized the region. But sending American forces into harm's way should only ever be a last resort. "I pray for the safety of U.S. forces who have been ordered into battle and commend their extraordinary professionalism."
Ossoff’s statement is 1000x stronger than Schumer-Jeffries. This is a moderate Jewish Senator from a Trump state. The split isn’t moderate vs progressive, but leading vs poll-reacting
The Fed Cir held in Global Tubing v. Tenaris, 2026 WL 530911 (Feb 26, 2026) that a firm claimed to have a 26% market share could be guilty of attempted monopolization by intentionally withholding material documents in its patent application. Things are changing at the Fed. Cir.

Great thread about how hard it is for independent agents to interoperate without a center.

🤳 Europeans should be allowed to trade personal data
💡Is it time to consider that neither unfettered access to user data or effective data sharing bans offer the best value to consumers?

Yay!!!
President Trump has made $4 billion by illegally trading access to the White House to get rich. He controls the Dept of Justice and the Congress so he won't be held accountable - until he doesn't control the Dept of Justice and Congress.
