Big group of riot police enters the hq of Turkey’s main opposition party in Ankara. They’re helping oust the party leadership after a court annulled the congress that elected them and appoint Kilicdaroglu, who has never won a single national election.

The words "Gaza" and "genocide" appear precisely zero times in the DNC autopsy. Turning a blind eye to crimes against humanity was a grave injustice, and a terrible election strategy.

The facts: -Bezos paid $0 fed'l income tax in 2007 -He paid $0 in '11 -Btn '14-19, his wealth grew by $99 BILLION and he paid $973 million in taxes. Sounds like a lot but it's 0.98% of his wealth growth (which is his true income).

"People sometimes say that I don't pay taxes. It's not true. I paid billions of dollars in taxes," says @JeffBezos. "That's not going to solve the problem. You could double the taxes I pay and it's not going to help that teacher in Queens."

Effective tax rate paid by Jeff Bezos from 2014 to 2018: 0.98% Effective 2025 federal tax rate paid by Amazon: 1.4% Typical tax rate paid by the average American: 14.5% Just thought I should point that out.

@PeterMackness @fuckyouiquit As someone who is not devoid of a sense of humanity or empathy, in a situation like this, I'd keep them. Nobody needs to make the money these billionaires seek to earn. Simp

@fuckyouiquit You are missing the point, of course. What would you do, keep people employed as ornaments in an office? If the job is no longer needed or they are not delivering, what would you propose?

Governor Kathy Hochul@GovKathyHochul

Tonight, the @MTA reached a fair deal with the five LIRR unions that delivers raises for workers while protecting riders and taxpayers. I’m pleased to announce that phased LIRR service will resume beginning tomorrow at noon.

still not quite over the fact that i watched 15 year olds get sued for millions of dollars for downloading twelve songs and now we all have to accept AI slop because every tech company in the known universe decided that IP laws don't exist now that they're inconvenient for them

Mayor Zohran Mamdani mocks Ronald Reagan’s infamous quote. “I can think of nine words more terrifying than ‘I’m from the government and I’m here to help…’” “I worked all day and can’t feed my family.”

BREAKING: Israel will implement the death penalty exclusively for Palestinians in the West Bank starting today — while Israeli settler terrorists who murder and attack Palestinians will not even be arrested. What do you call this system?

remember when biden ran on public option in the primaries against bernie’s m4a & every serious pundit told us bidens plan was the responsible doable alternative- only for biden to never bring it up again. the private healthcare industry is up to the same tricks one more time.
Sahil Kapur@sahilkapur

Scoop: Democratic think tank @SearchlightInst is pushing the party to embrace a new idea: Free primary care for all Americans. The group wants Dems to rethink their approach to health care and break out of the M4A vs ACA rut. They’re unimpressed with CAP’s proposal and warn that Dems need to have a vision beyond opposing Trump and restoring expired subsidies. “This is still our best issue, but we have not been on offense in a way that’s capturing people’s imaginations and getting them excited,” says @AJentleson. “We don’t need to be on defense or just advocating for incremental reforms.” Story w/ @BerkeleyJr: nbcnews.com/politics/polit…

Today marks Nakba Day, an annual day of remembrance to commemorate the expulsion of more than 700,000 Palestinians between 1947 and 1949 during the creation of the State of Israel and the year that followed. Inea is a New Yorker and a Nakba survivor. She shared her story with us — one of home, tradition and memory over generations.

71% of Americans oppose new AI data centers near them. They're right. So, why has Congress done nothing to address their concerns? Follow the money. Big Tech has spent $300 million on the midterm elections to ensure Congress does nothing to regulate them. End Citizens United.

This is not a drill. Guess who is funding the massive AI data centers? None other than BlackRock. And its criminal CEO Larry Fink already knows how unpopular these data centers are, so he is preemptively accusing any American who fights back of being a “domestic terrorist.” 👀
