The attack on Nancy Pelosi‘s husband last night was despicable. Prayers for their family at this painful hour.

This is how corrupt it is.

This is the Death Spiral in real time. Fossil fuel industry sends billions to politicians; politicians let them pollute for free and give other subsidies; they make a fortune and give billions to politicians. businessgreen.com/news/40585…

Big Oil, Big Food etc aren’t so obscenely raising prices just to be greedy.
They’re doing it to influence our elections.

Sort of like Condaleeza Rice saying “How could we have imagined that they would use airplanes to attack us?”

It wasn’t the leak that made them a target. It was the decision that made them a target.

Multinational corporations are on pace to repurchase over $1.1 Trillion in stock buybacks by year’s end.
This will be the biggest buyback in the stock market’s history.
Reagan made stock buybacks legal in 1982 & income inequality has grown to gilded age proportions since. 1/2

Oz says he doesn’t want the federal govt involved in a woman’s reproductive decisions; he wants local & state politicians to “put the best ideas forward” & come up with solutions.
He wants the decision made by “a woman, her doctor & local politicians.”
That’s a “no” on choice.

I’d rather have my Senator be a principled man who sometimes has trouble getting his words out, than someone who can get his words out but sacrificed his principles along the way.
Here’s a truth few will say aloud but I will:
Being a senator is America’s easiest job. You just have to sit there & say “yay” or “nay.”
This notion that @JohnFetterman can’t do that job because he’s recovering from a health event is moronic — and everyone in media knows it.
