Starting with Bernie and the progressives vs. the moderates on the timing of the reconciliation and bipartisan infrastructure packages. So far Pelosi is on the side of the progressives.

Sinema is a phony jackazz and grandstander who the GOPukes love. They figure she’ll either switch parties or be defeated by one of them in 2024. At least the FL aholes are crooked FRight aholes, and don’t (have to) change their stripes. The so-called ‘moderates’ are Raygun GOPukes. No telling what Botox Pelousy will do. She looks awful and really needs to retire.
Politico is such trash. “Massive” “colossal” “vision” is what they call the deeply compromised infrastructure package to try an invest in our communities. You wish they would just add an editors note saying that they are corporatist stooges who oppose the plan.

Even though it starts with the
GriftersSacklers, this is really a thread (my desktop emojis are so old there is no thread)/article on Private Equity (PE).tons of links in the article.
Snippet:
TY, moderator. :o)
So many stupes and seniles in that Senate, who knows what anymore??
fewer mods, more progs, please
Waters needs to tell the ‘mods’ to f### off!
This discussion of the same subject by authors V Bevins and and V Prashad of their books Jakarta Method and Washington Bullets treats the same subject. I can only continue to hope but as Martin implored, “Where Do We Go From Here? Chaos or Community?” Sadly, looks like chaos.
really good. i am so disappointed that more progressives, like the squad, i must admit, don’t call this out. that’s what it’s going to take. msm can’t deny aoc an audience forever, but she goes along with this.
i couldn’t make out the name of the movie that john sayles made that he recs. around the 58-59 min. mark.

oh, looks like this is subscription. sorry. finally got around to “watching” it. lol

Congresswoman Cori Bush Introduces Unhoused Bill of Rights
:O)
T and R, jcb!! 🙂 I hope wi63 is okay. Read where parts of WI and IL got slammed with very violent weather.
It hit hard in Ripon where one of my relatives live. All ok as the storm missed my area though we had the loud thunder boomers. Its like mother nature is getting pissed and sending a message. we had 70s dewpoints which we dont see all that often-fuel for the storms . If they didnt get tornadoes it was low level hurricane type winds that caused a lot of damage.
ola! I put some (i think good) snippets from Cory’s article under the tweets on the Sacklers and PE. It said “awaiting moderation,” and now it’s gone? hoping it’s ok for publication. ty. :o)
Wow. Have these rethugs no shame?
Just another tea party scone.
The stupid biz RW has been on the warpath since Medicare passed back in 1965. They have been on the same warpath when SS was enacted back in the 1930s. It should no longer be a surprise.
