These six lawmakers from South Carolina have now introduced a bill calling for the death penalty for those who seek abortion care irregardless of age. You should give them all a call andt them know how you feel because this could be your family member.

US troops are not in Germany to protect Germany. They’re there because the US needs bases to conduct operations beyond the North American continent. If Trump withdraws them, he will harm the United States, not Germany. It’s absurd how many Americans fail to grasp this.

Lambs and humans can form deep, lasting, and affectionate bonds, particularly when lambs are hand-reared or treated with consistent kindness. They are intelligent, social creatures capable of recognizing human faces, learning names, and seeking out, or nuzzling familiar caregivers.

A research revealed that roughly one in five CEOs and senior executives displays clinically significant psychopathic traits. This rate is strikingly similar to the prevalence found among prison populations. According to findings presented at the Australian Psychological Society’s annual congress, approximately 21% of high-level professionals exhibit strong psychopathic characteristics. That’s dramatically higher than the 1% to 4% seen in the general population. These so-called “successful psychopaths” often rise to the top by using charm, confidence, and strong social skills. Yet the same traits, a lack of empathy, superficial relationships, and a tendency toward manipulation, can lead to unethical decision-making and long-term harm to organizations. Forensic psychologist Nathan Brooks, who led the study with researchers from Bond University and the University of San Diego, points to flawed hiring practices as a key factor. Many companies focus heavily on skills and experience while overlooking dangerous personality traits. The researchers recommend implementing more thorough personality assessments during recruitment to screen for toxic characteristics. By prioritizing character alongside competence, organizations can better protect their culture and future from leaders who deliver short-term gains at the expense of long-term integrity.

Are you experiencing high gas prices and grocery prices? Are you having trouble paying your bills? If so, the President just made fun of you and thinks your concerns about affordability are “bullshit.” November is coming.

Most of you will never have had: Measles Mumps Rubella Tetanus Diphtheria Polio And none of you will ever have had Smallpox Why? Because vaccines work

The Paramount-Warner Bros merger reeks of corruption. Trump said he would be “personally involved" in the transaction. He said he wanted Netflix & Paramount “to compete for his approval.” He reportedly shared “implicit support” for Paramount’s bid. I'm sounding the alarm.

What we're really seeing in Iran is another forever war. A war with no obvious end. Donald Trump has demonstrated over and over and over that he has no plan and no exit ramp. Republicans in Congress must act.

It was not--unless you consider counting backwards from 100 by 7s complex.

These embarrassments should not just be kept from judgeships, they should lose their licenses to practice law. They clearly would violate their oaths once sworn in.

Instead of spending $50 billion to bankroll Trump’s criminal war on Iran, we could: -Extend ACA subsidies for one year -Restore SNAP benefits for 2.4 million people -And ensure Medicaid coverage for nearly 2 million people It’s not about what we can afford. It’s about priorities.

For the first time in 80 years, the federal debt-to-GDP ratio is over 100%. In the past, the rich used to pay higher taxes. Now, the government pays the rich interest on a swelling debt, caused largely by lower taxes on the rich. It's a big switcheroo. Watch.

I think I have a fan. There are about 30 of these comments in my mentions. All in response to me telling people NOT to blame Jewish people for Netanyahu/Israel’s behavior. Insane to me.

And our president just said he doesn't care if things are affordable.

Correct… and all white men, BTW…

Trump’s war in Iran put Spirit out of business, and it’s likely going to make air travel prohibitively expensive. Gas is well over $4 a gallon, consumer confidence is in the toilet, and we have no plan to reverse any of it. Are we great again yet?

Sadly, Joe Walsh is spot on and absolutely correct! 😢

@RBReich ...and don't just take it from me. Here's an hourlong conversation between an Iowa corn and soybean farmer and an NYC rideshare driver. Spoiler alert: They agree there's much more unites them than divides them youtu.be/oMPkAyJKCA0?si…

Donald Trump wants you to think that the least powerful people in this country are the most responsible for your problems. But you can’t deport your way out of a rigged economy. Former FTC Commissioner @BedoyaUSA explains how economic populism can bring workers of all stripes together — and is the only real antidote to Trumpism.

Today marks 60 days since the start of Trump’s failed war on Iran. robertreich.substack.com/p/the-real-rea…
