“Real power is achieved when the ruling class controls the material essentials of life, granting and withholding them from the masses as if they were privileges.” ~ (George Orwell).
Your ability to eat should not depend on your productivity

Your ability to get healthcare should not depend on your productivity

Your ability to get housing should not depend on your productivity

Saying “be more productive!” To those who are struggling devalues human life.

It aids fascism.

“And I believe that totalitarianism, if not fought against, could triumph again.” ~ (George Orwell).
Firing an entire federal arts commission to clear the path for your own triumphal arch? It’s a textbook indicator of authoritarian executive overreach — the exact trend we warned about in our assessment.

Wait, are people really upset that Mamdani spoke about his “aunt,” and it was actually his father’s cousin and not his father’s sibling?

Because that is an extremely normal thing a lot of cultures do. Including a lot of large Jewish families!
In a bit of a tense moment, one of the La Mega co-hosts presses Mamdani on why he "lied" about his "aunt" having been scared to ride the subway after 9/11 while wearing a hijab.

Mamdani says it was "not a lie" because he refers to his father's cousin as his "aunt."
Is he talking about Trump again? Elect a clown expect a circus.

UPS just said it cut 48,000 jobs this year.
Here’s why that matters:

💰 The company is making record profits;
📈 Its stock rose after the layoffs.

When a company calls that “savings,” it’s not efficiency — it’s putting profits way over people.
Why is he speaker of the house. He seems to know nothing about anything ever. If he's this uninformed he should just step down and let someone qualified and informed lead.
Q: What's your reaction to yesterday's purge of senior ICE officials? When is it time for Congress to do some oversight?

MIKE JOHNSON: I don't know any of the details of that yet. I just heard about that, literally I was walking in.

Maybe they should watch Russell Crowe’s new Nuremberg movie when it comes out next week. Just some helpful advice.
“Now I will tell you the answer to my question. It is this. The Party seeks power entirely for its own sake. We are not interested in the good of others; we are interested solely in power, pure power.” ~ (George Orwell).
Trump building himself a new gold-plated ballroom at the White House shows what he really cares about - which is definitely not you.
“Fascism is always about controlling the narrative of the public. Any bad incident or bad decision is never their fault. It is always someone else’s fault.
It is the opposition’s fault, it is foreign powers fault, or it is the minority population’s fault.

Thursday: Target to lay off 1800 corporate jobs
Monday: Amazon to lay off 30,000 corporate jobs
Tuesday: UPS to lay off 48,000 operations and management jobs

You'd think with all these layoffs, CEOs and CFOs and COOs would also be fired. Alas.
The entire Republican house is dead.
JUST IN: The U.S. Senate has voted 52–48 to overturn Trump’s 50% tariffs on Brazil. Five Republicans joined Democrats: Susan Collins (ME), Mitch McConnell (KY), Lisa Murkowski (AK), Rand Paul (KY), and Thom Tillis (NC).

The measure is DOA in the House.

Just to be clear who’s to blame for SNAP cutoff:

1. Trump admin claims that a $5B emergency fund can’t be used for it.

2. Thune said Trump wants to use SNAP cutoff as leverage.

3. 22 Dem states filed a lawsuit about it.

4. Dems willing to join many Rs for SNAP bill but Thune is blocking vote.

Sean Duffy: "If you're a Democrat, you're a liberal, you don't like cars and you want people to ride public transportation, I think that's wonderful, good for you. But if you want us all to ride public transportation, make it safe. Make it clean. Make is beautiful. I don't know why NY can't do that"
