Grocery stores are going to use the oil futures to jack up the price of food again this week. Those prices will never come back down.

Groovy. Smashing. Yay capitalism. 🫤

The response when progressive policies that help millions of people are proposed...

"How will you pay for it?"

The response when the richest 1% ask for tax cuts, or banks ask for bailouts, or defense contractors ask for more contracts...

"How much do you need?"

It doesn't have to be this way.

TAPPER: You know that if you vote against an additional $50 billion of funding for operations in Iran, that vote will be cast as you voting against the troops.

CHRIS MURPHY: Come on. The American people do not want this war. If you support the troops, you should be voting against this war.

It’s cool that this generation gets to find out the answer to “what would you have done when we started interning the Japanese?” and “what would you have done when we invaded Vietnam?” and “what would you have done in Watergate?” all at the same time.

Recap on Carney and Anand on #Iran:

1️⃣ They support the US and Israel's attacks.

2️⃣ For three days, 🦗🦗🦗 on international law.

3️⃣ Carney: actually, we support attacks "with regret" & it's prima facie illegal

4️⃣ We can't rule out Canada joining in.

Seriously: What will they say tomorrow?

When you were a kid, did you ever meet another kid who was clearly out of their mind, and incredibly troubled and destructive, who made you really uncomfortable to be around, and you just hoped that they would grow up to… Not be like that?

And then they grew up to be even worse?

Supreme Court could greenlight geofence warrants A new case may legalize suspicionless mass surveillance of journalists and whistleblowers

A free press can’t exist in a surveillance state.

Geofence warrants allow the government to collect location data on everyone, including journalists and whistleblowers.

A Supreme Court case could make it worse.

Here’s how.

What are the betting odds that the US State of the Union goes longer than 2 hours?

God speed to all the ethical journalists who will be listening and making notes all the way through.

Sure glad I’m not in that industry anymore 😅

We don't have any money and we don't have any migration. I have the perfect idea -- let's spend millions on a referendum.
