“Expanding the Supreme Court is no different that redistricting in California and Virginia. It is a proportionate response to Republican attempts to degrade liberal democracy and move America toward a post-liberal order.” open.substack.com/pub/thebulwark…

@HistoryBoomer Piker is a degenerate, terrorism supporting bigot. He should be treated no differently than Nick Fuentes, and the continued embrace of him by Democrats and the left is utterly discrediting.

5 years ago, Democrats introduced a bill to ban gerrymandering in every state nationwide. Every single Republican voted against it.

@USATODAY 1) SPLC isn't a federal agency. 2) It was indicted for all the wire fraud it committed in the process.

And if you assume a current policy baseline, interest becomes the largest item in the budget by 2040. Or sooner if interest rates rise, or Congress passes any more budget-busting bills (both pretty safe bets).

No one argues that employers believe workers have no value, just that said value is contingent upon supply of the right capital. The resulting value is literally why the employer hires them. But you think you know better than the worker and so have to invent some conspiracy to pretend that workers have no agency to sell their labor at a mutually agreeable price.

@heresyfinancial ok, then the restaurant can operate with no servers wait it can't? Shit, then I guess they're more valuable than we thought there are always people around who will sell themselves short and businesses engineer wages to take advantage of them

If an individual has the skill to generate $1,000 of value per hour independently, why would they be doing it for another company for only $16? Answer: they don't actually have that skill Like the skill of waiting tables has zero value without the restaurant, most skills are only "valuable" because of the company the person works for If they were actually that valuable inherently, that person would be doing it on their own and keeping the excess profits themselves

UNPOPULAR OPINION: Buying and selling is NOT capitalism. That’s trade. Capitalism is an employee generating $1,000 of value an hour but being paid $16.

The Democrats’ BUILD Act will allow developers to bring apartments to single family neighborhoods. They would be allowed to do this by right … ie no public hearing. Local authority will be tossed aside and suburban mayors are furious. What say you? Are you ok waking up tomorrow to find an apartment next door? See example below.

@Dustytwelve @DuPageCountyGOP You have the right to move if the nature of your area changes in ways you do not like. You do not have the right to prevent others from moving even if it changes the nature of your area in ways you do not like.

@DuPageCountyGOP So let me get this straight. I get a mortgage for a house I can't move. Developers get S8 contracts that bring undesirable people into my neighborhood that destroy property values faster than roundup on weeds.

I received a false copyright claim on one of my videos and YouTube removed the video because of this. It's a video about the Riemann Hypothesis. The claim comes from some person who submits a link to their paper about "The Continuity Engine: A Formally Verified Framework Prime Resonance Unification with Medical, Physical, Mathematical Evidence" with links to two unpublished papers that are completely unrelated to my video content. It's obviously some crackpot work, I receive dozens of those a day. YouTube took the video down based on this false claim. The only way they allow me to react to this requires me to submit my personal contact information to some random crank on the internet. Alternatively, I am supposed to hire a lawyer (!!) on my own costs, to track down some random guy from whom I then have to extract my up-front expenses. I have complained to YouTube support about this multiple times. No success, the video is still down. This procedure is completely unacceptable. It allows random people to try and blackmail me into responding to them. I have no time for this bullshit and no patience either. Frankly the only sensible course of action forward that I see is to sue YouTube for facilitating fraudulent DCMA claims. @YouTubeCreators @YouTube

I absolutely had to watch this to the end. We had a pet bunny when I was a kid, and sometimes our dog would chase it, and it went from being this ridiculous, truly absurd, but cute animal to impossibly fast. It’s a marvel to watch.

Great NYT story revealing memos—and true motive—of Chief Justice Roberts to bend the rules to stop Obama’s effort to regulate emissions. Roberts sees his role, not as defending the constitution, but instead as protecting the energy industry’s profits, sparing the power sector from incurring any expenses in addressing climate change. This is the mentality of a lobbyist, not a judge.

Tesla paid $0 in federal income taxes in 2025, despite making $5.7 billion. This Tax Day, remember that you have paid more in taxes than a multi-billion dollar company—all thanks to corporate tax breaks from Trump’s One Big Beautiful Bill.

@LincolnRestler Since you're an expert on what e-bikes should cost, perhaps you should start your own (private) e-bike business and undercut the competition. Should be easy, right?

A Citi Bike ride shouldn’t cost a penny more than a subway or bus ride. We’ve got a bill to cap e-bike fees at $3 and end Citi Bike-flation.

Corporate income taxes rank among the most economically destructive major taxes, per OECD and IMF analyses. They top the list for harming growth by discouraging investment, capital formation, and business mobility—more so than personal income taxes or consumption taxes like VAT/GST. Deadweight loss estimates: ~40 cents of economic activity lost per dollar raised from corporate taxes, vs. ~25 cents for income taxes and ~8 cents for consumption taxes (KPMG/Henry Tax Review data). This makes them highly distortive relative to alternatives.

If you paid even a penny in federal income tax last year, you paid more than: Tesla Southwest Disney Live Nation HP United PayPal CVS Health Palantir Citigroup PG&E 3M That's right. They paid $0 in federal income tax. It's time for big corporations to pay their fair share.
