Over a quarter of all homes sold in the first three months of 2025 were bought by real estate investors.

If we want to make housing affordable again, we must get Wall Street out of our homes. https://youtu.be/q9TOGxDJ0TE?feature=shared

The clearest picture of corporate greed in this country is CEO-to-worker pay ratios.

At the 100 lowest-paying major US companies, CEO pay averaged $17.2M in 2024.

Median worker pay at these companies was just $35,570.

That’s a ratio of 632 to 1.

How can anyone defend this?

Alas.

Wait, wait, wait!!!
Pete Hegseth is pledging to Senators that he WON’T drink while serving as Defense Secretary?!!!?
He wouldn’t be running a fucking Applebees.
He’d be in charge of our entire fucking MILITARY.
‘I pinky swear I won’t drink on the job.’

How the fuck are we here?

PSA: If the guy you want to be our next SECRETARY OF DEFENSE needs his mommy to go on tv to say he’s a good boy, he sure as shit shouldn’t be anywhere the fuck near the job of overseeing our armed forces.

Like are you even fucking kidding with this shit? Do you hear yourselves?
