Rep. Alexandria Ocasio-Cortez (D-NY) said Thursday that Sen. Mitch McConnell's (R-KY) five-week absence from Congress and lack of response to Gov. Andy Beshear's (D-KY) request for an update on his health "conveys a very disturbing inability to fulfill his duties." "I understand that people have a right to medical privacy to deal with their issues, but we do not have the right to disappear from our jobs without explanation," she said. "I don't think any American has ever experienced the ability to just leave your job for over a month with no explanation to your employer."

FYI within three years, the last name “Trump” will be treated the same as “Dahmer” and “Benedict Arnold.”

The iconic arrow sequence was actually filmed using real arrows. In other words, the arrows striking the wooden boards were not created with special effects, but carefully staged with skilled archers. Toshirō Mifune moves his arms to deflect the arrows embedded in the wood, subtly pointing at the direction he intended to move to. Throne of Blood (Kurosawa, 1957)

MAJOR BREAKING: In a now deleted post by former MMA fighter Daniel Cormier, he posted screenshots of Eric Trump trying to get an insider scoop on whether any of the MMA fights at the White House are rigged so that he could try and illegally make money off of them.. Below is the Direct Messages that Trump allegedly sent Cormier. There is no reason to doubt the legitimacy of these messages.

I just introduced the Anti-Insurrectionist Act in NY. It's simple: If you're a New Yorker who takes from Trump's illegal January 6th slush fund, NY will tax 100% of it.

Here’s the deal. Biden botched the withdrawal, but the withdrawal was forced on him by Trump. We built an Afghan military that relied on US contractors, then we pulled the contractors, air support, logistics, etc. And we didn’t even include the govt in negotiations

Virtually all modern technology America operates on today was created prior to the age of billionaires. The computer, the internet, AI, the semiconductor, plastics, software, et al. These guys just captured the value politically, they didn't create much at all.

In 1939, as over 425,000 Soviet troops invaded Finland, a 5'3" farmer with no scope and perfect aim took position in the snow. His name was Simo Häyhä, and he wasn't just a soldier. Before the war, he was a competitive sharpshooter, known for hitting targets others missed He wore white camouflage, packed snow in his mouth to hide his breath, and used iron sights to stay invisible. Then he got to work. In less than 100 days, he recorded over 500 confirmed kills-the most in sniper history. The Soviets called him "The White Death." They shelled the forests. Sent snipers. Launched entire offensives. None of it stopped him. Until one day, an explosive bullet hit him in the face. By a miracle, Simo survived the war. But never spoke of what he'd done.

Erin Brockovich has launched a website and has begun tracking all data centers in America and logging resident complaints In just 1 week it’s already logged 1,690 resident complaints For this who don’t remember Erin Brockovich was the paralegal responsible for winning out a case against PG&E, Hinckley in California, because their wastewater runoff was seeping into rural areas and creating a lot of health issues for, for the surrounding neighborhoods That case brought in a $333 million settlement that went to the families affected by the situation because a lot of them either had staggering medical bills due to their tap water was no longer safe So why is this important, well residents all over America are reporting their tap water and river water is being heavily polluted by data centers Her map of data centers is new, she just launched it The website features an interactive US map showing operational, under-construction, and proposed AI data centers, overlaid with community-reported complaints Residents can submit reports with details, photos, and locations. Within days of launch, it received a surge of submissions over 1,600 in the first week, and reports of 1,800+ from 47 states shortly after Common Resident Complaints Being Logged - Water usage - Raising utility bills for residents - Noise pollution: Constant 24/7 humming from fans, generators, and cooling systems disrupting sleep, daily life, and wildlife. - E-waste from frequent hardware upgrades, pollution including PFAS concerns

@anders_aslund @2catsanddog Indeed Slava Ukraini. 🤣🤣🤣 AI .

Ukraine is doing so much better on the battlefield against Russia when the US is out of the war and no longer trying to restrain Ukraine. Slava Ukrainii!

For as long as I live, I will never understand how January 6th wasn’t the end of Donald Trump. I will never, ever understand it.

Warren Buffett, in his first sit-down since stepping down as Berkshire CEO, gave the cleanest indictment of legalized gambling in a decade. He called it a tax cut for the wealthy. The math proves him exactly right. Americans wagered $165 billion at legal sportsbooks in 2025. They lost $16 billion of that. FanDuel pulled $6 billion of the losses. DraftKings pulled $5.3 billion. Every state with legal mobile sports betting collected a tax on the bettor side. New York alone took in over $1.2 billion in 2025 sports betting tax revenue. Layer the lottery on top. State lotteries generate over $90 billion a year. The bottom half of income earners account for roughly 70% of total spend. The average lottery player makes $38,000. A household earning $20,000 spends three times more on tickets than one earning $30,000. The implicit tax rate, meaning whatever the state keeps after prizes, runs 30 to 50% depending on the game. No other revenue source in America has that base and that rate. The structural design is the engine. A single straight sports bet carries a hold of 4 to 5%. A four-leg parlay carries a hold above 30%. FanDuel and DraftKings spent five years rebuilding their apps to make parlays the default product. FanDuel's blended hold rate hit 11.4% in 2025, up from roughly 7% in 2022. The product got worse for the customer and the customer wagered more anyway. Now look at the substitution. Nine US states have no state income tax. Seven of those nine run state lotteries. Seven of those nine have legalized sports betting. The states most committed to never taxing wealth are the same states running the largest extraction machines on people who cannot afford to lose. Read it as policy. Here is what Buffett is actually pointing at. The state needs revenue. It can raise income tax on the top decile, or it can run a lottery plus a sports betting tax. The second option raises the money from the people who can least afford it. The first option becomes politically optional. New York's $1.2 billion in 2025 sports betting tax is $1.2 billion the state did not have to ask of someone earning $5 million. DraftKings and FanDuel sell a privatized collection mechanism for a regressive tax that the state never has to defend at the ballot box again. Voters approve legalization once. Collection runs forever. The state takes a cut. The wealthy get a quieter top bracket. The bettor's cut shrinks every quarter as the parlay menu gets pushed harder. The function of a government, Buffett said, is not to play its people for suckers. Thirty-nine state governments now do.
