Never has it been clearer that the U.S. is a plutocracy. And ironically a plutocracy that doesn't even represent the interests of its own oligarchs, but those of a foreign ethno-religious state. Interestingly, Massie was one of the only congressmen with a genuine engineering background: he studied at MIT and founded a pioneering haptic interface company from scratch that obtained 24 patents. "China is run by engineers. America is run by lawyers" -> well, look what happens when an engineer tries politics in the U.S....

NOW - Thomas Massie concedes his Kentucky Primary race: "Welcome to the most expensive congressional primary ever in the 250 year history of this country."

Chris Rabb now up 14 points with 81% in. It’s over. If this holds, there will be many people justly deserving credit for this upset victory. American Priorities, the pro-Palestine super PAC, dropped almost $500k, while Justice Dems and the Working Families Party also piled on. @AOC and @hasanthehun also had critical endorsements, both hosting rallies for Rabb. And Rabb himself ran an exceptional race, building on years of relationships he built among progressives and activists in the city. And also AIPAC royally screwed up, got caught trying to spend money through 314 Action to prop up a flawed candidate, and then never recovered when she flopped.

>go to China to film a concentration camp >it's just a desolate prison and there's no concentration camp >nothing happens, leaves the country >go to the free and democratic USA >get put in a concentration camp
Daily Turkic@DailyTurkic

Sadly, we’ve learned that Guanguan, who risked his life in 2021 to secretly film the Uyghur concentration camps in China, is now in ICE detention in the U.S., facing the risk of deportation back to China. He should be protected, not punished.

Maybe pay attention to what I *actually* said. I didn’t say medical debt is $2.5B, I said WE COULD ELIMINATE IT for $2.5B Why? Econ lesson. Debt is traded on secondary markets, it’s valued at ~1c on a $. So yes, you could retire America’s $225B of Medicare debt for < $2.5B 😘😘
Breitbart News@BreitbartNews

"This is so stupid!" @AlexMarlow reacts to MI senate candidate @AbdulElSayed spreading the patently false stat that total medical debt in the U.S. is $2.5 billion. "He has fact checkers. He's got researchers. He's got a staff. He's got a communications team. And no one put their hand up and said, 'Are you sure it's only 2.5 billion? Are you sure it's not several hundred billion, minimum, maybe more? I don't know if we should go out for this, go into prime time. This is a Bernie Sanders Fight Oligarchy rally.'"

It's never been easier to travel to China. And China has never been more welcoming or ready for visitors. Everywhere we've traveled over the past couple of years has been amazing - and the people are super welcoming and friendly. So I guess it makes sense that a known anti-China propaganda outlet like the WSJ needs to release an article claiming "distrust of foreigners" is a thing now? This is such an obvious attempt to manufacture fear and concern that it's almost laughable. I am an American literally named "American" and in 21 years living in China, have never once run into any form of distrust. Do people these days recognize that the US government has gone insane? Yes. But since I agree with them on that point, we all can laugh and go on with our awesome lives.

“I can’t shake the sense that something fundamental in China has changed.” Journal correspondent Yoko Kubota reflects on how a distrust of foreigners has come to permeate everyday life in China. 🔗 on.wsj.com/4n93KP3

I like that building high speed rail in California requires nine thousand years of environmental impact studies but throwing up a data center the size of Texas takes fourteen seconds with zero material public support.

“There is a crime here that goes beyond denunciation. There is a sorrow here that weeping cannot symbolize. There is a failure here that topples all our success. The fertile earth, the straight tree rows, the sturdy trunks, and the ripe fruit. And children dying of pellagra must die because a profit cannot be taken from an orange. And coroners must fill in the certificate- died of malnutrition- because the food must rot, must be forced to rot. The people come with nets to fish for potatoes in the river, and the guards hold them back; they come in rattling cars to get the dumped oranges, but the kerosene is sprayed. And they stand still and watch the potatoes float by, listen to the screaming pigs being killed in a ditch and covered with quick-lime, watch the mountains of oranges slop down to a putrefying ooze; and in the eyes of the people there is the failure; and in the eyes of the hungry there is a growing wrath. In the souls of the people the grapes of wrath are filling and growing heavy, growing heavy for the vintage.”
