So proud to have been with @POTUS at today's Bidenomics speech. Great results for Americans -- and our allies --from him so far and more to come when he is reelected!

@Julia_Davis_share has this new story on how Russian State Media is attempting to change the narrative on the mutiny. This immediate change in the story by Russian State media only seems to prove many of Prigozhin’s previous statements so I predict this will turn into yet another unforced error by Putin that will hasten the end of his reign over the Russian empire. https://www.thedailybeast.com/the-kremlin-has-a-batshit-new-pr-position-there-was-no-armed-mutiny?ref=author

Justice Department Moves In To Nab More Private Tapes From Trump Property https://bipartisanreport.com/2023/06/28/justice-department-moves-in-to-nab-more-private-tapes-from-trump-property/

@rbreich @AlliFlowers

Trump’s excuse that he wasn’t holding classified documents mentioned in the tape and instead “it was bravado” would be more plausible if he likely knew the meaning of the word “bravado.”

Medicare for All would save $450B a year.

Every dollar spent on food stamps generates $1.50-$1.80 in economic activity.

Each dollar going to low-wage workers adds $1.20 to the economy overall.

It’s not about what this country can or can’t afford.

It’s about priorities.

I had my eyes closed as I said the incantation, so I didn't see the occupier of the pentagram arrive.
Only, I had called for a demon, not a cat.
"Are you Yaarrgh, Eater of Toes?" I asked.
The cat yawned.
Two years later, I still don't know if he is a demon.
But I love him anyway.

This is one of the best pieces by this author since her easy-to-read summaries of key COVID research articles from last year:

"Humans invested in public health and sanitation because they got tired of dying from diseases. They dragged their leaders kicking and screaming into public health, after it became painfully clear there was no alternative.

Well, here we are again. It would be nice if we could pay attention to history instead of constantly repeating it."

I would like to thank Elon Musk for posting a hateful antisemitic tweet and then defending it like a bratty five year-old, thereby reminding me that my quitting Twitter a few weeks ago was an absolute moral necessity. If I hadn’t done it then I’d have to do it now.
