  1. Another great #Krugman article.

    "Public discourse about #taxes and #inequality is, even more than discussion of other #economic topics, infested with #zombies — ideas that should be dead, having been proved wrong again and again, but that keep #shambling along, eating people’s brains. What sustains the zombies is, of course, #billionaire money, which keeps #false claims in circulation as long as they seem to justify low taxes on the #superrich.“

  2. “More important than the #stinginess of the #superrich, however, is the fact that their #wealth has brought great #politicalpower, arguably more than the #robberbarons ever possessed — power that they abuse on an epic scale.”

    (A small favor among friends…)

    „The 142m-long (465 ft) multi-deck luxury boat, named Nord, is linked to sanctioned Russian billionaire Alexei Mordashov. It travelled from Dubai to Muscat, Oman, over the weekend - one of few private vessels to transit through the strait in recent months.“

  6. Michael Podhorzer and Lisa Graves discuss the recent New York Times blockbuster exposé of the corruption of John Roberts' Supreme Court. They focus on "why people should be enraged about not just the Roberts Court, but also its billionaire backers — and the media that erases the influence of those backers while giving institutional cover to an illegitimate, captured body."

  7. I’ve been reading stuff about the genuine #reality, stuff that sounds like The Onion on crack or a supervillain jumping straight out of a completely absurd script. Should I focus on real, dry reality, and how it would look like? Like a sugar-coated muffin or a musty, unironed shirt with tomato sauce stains?

  13. Why is democracy failing?

    🤔 Because the #UltraWealthy are buying it.

    Additionally, the #SuperRich are leveraging their media platforms to convince voters that they need #Fascism

    What we really need is a #WealthTax. Concentration of wealth is toxic to democracy

  20. Paul Krugman's pithy commentary on what the new employment statistics show us about Trump's claim to have built an A+++++ economy:

    "A+++++ my A++. …

    Trump owns this economy — because he broke it."

  22. Aaron Parnas also shares Epstein images from the cache released today, stating,

    "Some of the images are extremely disturbing in nature, and are part of a larger batch of documents that are set to be released to the public in one week."

  23. "One image released Friday shows what appears to be a bowl of novelty condoms with a caricature of Trump’s face...Another showed Trump with six women with leis whose faces were redacted by the committee."

  24. "These men should be shunned, banished from what we used to call polite society and disinvited from any and all honors which might be bestowed upon them such as speaking at a college, attending a wedding, or even being invited to a dinner party."

    Trump, Bill Clinton, Bill Gates, Alan Dershowitz, Woody Allen, Richard Branson: these are the men of whom Truscott is speaking.

  25. "The photo is one of a number from the 'personal collection of Jeffrey Epstein' released by Democrats on the House Oversight Committee today.

    Other photographs show sex toys and bondage equipment — including something with a 'choking hazard' warning on it — and a murderers’ row of men hanging out with their good buddy, Jeffrey."

    ~ Lucian K. Truscott

    The photo Truscott is referencing is at the head of his posting.

  26. "Other images feature individuals like Steve Bannon, Alan Dershowitz, Bill Clinton, Bill Gates, Larry Summers, Woody Allen, Richard Branson, and others. …

    The images show Trump at social gatherings and aboard aircraft connected to Epstein. Additional photos document items recovered from the estate that underscore the depravity of Epstein’s operation."

  27. "As more photographic and documentary evidence is released, it becomes clearer and clearer as to why Trump is so petrified of the Files being made public. …

    According to the committee, roughly 95,000 photographs were obtained from the Epstein estate. Only 19 have been released so far, and multiple include Donald Trump pictured alongside Epstein and individuals whose faces are redacted to protect their identities."

  28. "The release of new photographs from the Jeffrey Epstein estate has pushed the long-simmering questions about Donald Trump’s relationship with Epstein into an even more urgent phase, especially with just days to go until the DOJ is supposed to release the full Epstein Files. I have published all the photos we have obtained from the House Oversight Democrats in galleries below. Scroll down to view them all."
