The world if we taxed billionaires out of existence.

Billionaires have no right to exist. They are parasites on the rest of society.

Hard to believe the biggest fuckups in the history of the world fucked this up

I choose to not believe in free will.

I feel this strongly: I don't care. I am DISGUSTED that 175 little girls are dead and that thousands are dead across the region and that 1 million people are displaced in Lebanon alone. THIS IS EVIL.

hey what if we made the entire government and the entire economy out of corruption

As a point of comparison, the US spent $21 billion in FY 2022 to feed billions of breakfasts and lunches to kids in schools across our whole country for an entire year under the universal school meals program that was later discontinued.

I think people are overrating the odds the ayatollah is a purely rational utility maximizer and underrating the odds the guy is rather upset about his father, wife, and daughter being incinerated and wants his pound of flesh.

Officer having anxiety attack took ambulance sent for man dying from police shooting, report says A man who was shot by Connecticut police last year and later died had to wait 10 extra minutes for another ambulance to arrive at the scene, after another officer having an anxiety attack took the first one.

$11.3 billion could cover any of the following for a full year:
-1.4 million people on Medicaid
-19 million kids getting free school lunches
-1.4 million people getting affordable housing
-1.1 million hungry seniors fed
-0.8 million children given free child care

Cities in Vermont and Maine are experiencing some of the same tactics that ICE has been using across Minnesota since December, and facing lots of resistance.

Feels to me like whoever runs on "I am going to put into prison every single person currently in power in government, business, or law enforcement" has a decent chance at 500 electoral votes.

It is interesting to me* how this total military, geopolitical, & economic omnishambles is not being covered in the press with remotely the same fierce EPIC DISASTROUS FAILURE urgency that Joe Biden’s not 100% surgically clean withdrawal from 🇦🇫 was covered 🤔

[*It is not remotely interesting to me]

i assume dem leadership knows this, but i don’t think they’ll be able to count on fetterman for anything if they take the senate back; he’s becoming more and more juvenile and unable to control himself.

Trump only got into Wharton after his family pulled strings and got him an interview with an official who did a "special favor" to the family. A Wharton prof later said he was "the dumbest goddamn student" he ever had.

So, yes, his admission does say a lot about how smart he is.

For comparison's sake, the entire National Park Service costs $3 billion - a year.

Man, we're gonna *lose* lose this war, aren't we?

My opening assumption was a strategic defeat but tactical stalemate that Donald would spin into a win in domestic politics because we killed a lot more of them than they did of us, but this is gonna be like if Vietnam and the oil crisis had a baby.

“epstein class is iranian propaganda” is definitely something i’d expect the epstein class to say

Never forget who Trump appointed to be the head of our domestic anti-terrorism people.com/trump-admin-...

It is a weakness of our system that the murder of 160 schoolchildren does not result in an immediate dissolution of the government.

First 6 Days of Iran War Cost U.S. $11.3 Billion, Pentagon Says

The 2026 National Science Foundation budget is $8.75 Billion.

despite extraordinarily stiff competition from the Roberts Court, Citizens United keeps its place as one of the most damaging Supreme Court decisions of all time

The president is handing out oversized clown shoes to his cabinet — and watching to see who refuses to wear them.

It's Solzhenitsyn's Stalin story come to life: the first person to stop applauding ended up in the gulag. The lesson then, as now — never be the first to stop clapping.

Insane that it takes 2/3rds of Congress to overrule the president unilaterally taking the country to war. Even more insane that the only thing we're talking about isn't how to change that. You'll never get a better demonstration of why it's bad than a senile TV dumbass blowing shit up

HUGE.

Some folks treated me like a naive child for believing we had the money to cancel a portion of student loan debt

Democrats are on the path to winning this year, but it is by default. The party has done a horrific job on politics from almost the minute Trump was defeated in 2020. So, sure, they are winning right now — but it’s because we have no other choices. Not exactly a ringing endorsement.

ADL condemns Zohran Mamdani for hosting Mahmoud Khalil at mayor’s mansion ‘Gracie Mansion belongs to all New Yorkers. Public office must never be used to legitimize hate,’ an ADL spokesperson said

eat, and I can’t emphasize this enough, shit jewishinsider.com/2026/03/adl-...

tariffs happening for no reason and theyre making your life worse, secret police kidnapping people for no reason and making your life worse, firing thousands of government employees for no reason and making your life worse, going to war with iran for no reason and making your life worse

we remain firmly on track for 'republican president leaves the country an omnishambles, next democratic president is punished for not cleaning it up fast enough'

This is extremely true and I continue to think that some part of it is deep, semi-conscious shame & embarrassment. If he's an absolute moron, what does it say about us that we let him get this far? They're stuck in the bluff with him.
