What a line from Warren Buffett this morning:

β€œBe kind, and the world is better off. I'm not sure that the world will be better off if I'm richer."

Let's elevate the fighters:

Van Hollen for risking his life to find Abrego Garcia in El Salvador
Booker for his 25 hr speech to expose on Trump & Musk's corruption
Schatz for blocking 300 Trump nominees
Bernie & AOC for rallying hundreds of thousands of Americans
Newsom for suing Trump over tariffs

Kleptocracy, Inc. Under Trump, conflicts of interest are just part of the system.

β€œAmerican government, American foreign policy, and American trade policy are slowly being transformed, not to benefit Americans but to benefit the president, his family, and his friends.”

House Strikes Down $5 Overdraft Fee Limit, Sending Issue to Trump (Gift Article) Lawmakers also struck down a rule giving the Consumer Financial Protection Bureau supervisory power over tech companies’ payments apps.

Republicans want banks to charge you higher fees.

If you're a billionaire, then you'll barely notice a few thousand dollars a year in higher prices at the store from these Trump tariffs - plus you can count on him to get you another big tax break for the wealthy.

But for everyone else, this is a big deal, and a bad one.

Trueism: Presidents don't have a lot of impact on the economy.

Longest speaking filibuster ever was 24 hours, 18 minutes by Strom Thurmond in opposition to the Civil Rights Act of 1957.

In a few hours, that record will be shattered by Sen. Cory Booker, a Black man, laying out the case for saving democracy from an aspiring despot.

The richest man in the world spent more money than most of us will see in our lifetimes to lose a state Supreme Court race by 10 points.

And the fact his $25 million was a drop in the bucket compared to what he's spent on other elections is exactly why we must overturn Citizens United.

Rich ppl telling folks crypto is a viable savings plan is like sharks telling you that the water is warm and safe to swim in.

Not getting much attention, but the Senate GOP is about to start voting - to make sure banks can charge higher overdraft fees. Seriously.

Good time to let your Senators know what you think of that.

We’ve been taught to believe that the menace to society was the fraternity alpha male. It isn’t. Society is being subjected to the sociopathy of a bunch of tech CEOs who, in my view, did not get laid enough as young men.

Mike has been a friend of mine since we were young reporters at the @washingtonpost.com in the 1980s. He brims with talent, integrity and commitment to the truth. This is exactly what I expected and he had hoped he could stave off, which is a trash move by trash people. Throw them out.

This is the Serbian people protesting their pro-Putin autocratic regime.

Similar uprising in Hungary against GOP darling Viktor Orban.

Dear allies, the investigation of the Lithuanian prosecutor’s office has confirmed our suspicions that responsible for setting fires to shopping centres in Vilnius and Warsaw are the Russian secret services. Good to know before negotiations. Such is the nature of this state.

He’d certainly know about deeply unprofitable. Don’t take my word β€” Google it. This aside, what nonsense comparing America to a private company (yes, some tech dudes are that reductively stupid). You can be for more government efficiency and not support the random bonfire of cruelty that DOGE is.
