Jeff Bezos took over the Washington Post Editorial Board and turned it into a mouthpiece for pro-corporate, pro-billionaire propaganda.

Now, WaPo is laying off hundreds of *real* journalists — including the reporter covering Amazon.

Democracy dies in billionaire hands.

A member of the Abu Dhabi royal family secretly invested $500 million into the Trump family’s crypto company, gaining a major ownership stake.

Months after inking the deal, the U.S. gave the UAE access to 500,000 advanced AI chips per year.

The corruption is breathtaking.

Sen Eric Schmitt is a professional internet troll and rage baiter. No plans. No brains. A vapid, soulless, bootlicking ghoul.

I've been running through the situation where Johnson is refusing to swear in Adelita Grijalva of AZ.

The swearing in process falls under 2 U.S.C. § 25, which states the oath must be given to & administered by the speaker.

However, I just read about Powell v. McCormack.

Walz: "The idea that the secretary of education would not know what IDEA is -- individuals with disability in education act -- that's like your mechanic not knowing how to put air in your tire. And she's in charge of this nation's education progress. It is catastrophic."

As a candidate, Trump promised to end surprise medical billing.  

Just weeks into his second term, DOGE has slashed the federal office charged with implementing a bipartisan law cracking down on surprise medical bills.

Yet another Trump lie.
Trump vowed to end surprise medical bills. The team working on that just got slashed
Trump's first round of staff cuts to federal agencies eliminated dozens of positions at the Center for Consumer Information and Insurance Oversight, in charge of implementing the No Surprises Act.

One thing Trump didn't talk about last night: his plans to abandon American women’s right to abortion care in medical emergencies.

I wonder why he wouldn't want anyone to know that.

Are We Now the Bad Guys?
There was a time, not too long ago, when America stood as the beacon of freedom, the defender of democracy, and the steadfast ally of those who resisted oppression.

Giant banks like JPMorgan and Wells Fargo hiked the cost of loans to make a bigger profit.

After pressure, they pledged in front of Congress that they'd pass on higher savings rates to their customers.

Senator Reed and I called on these CEOs to keep their word.

Many people think that as you get older, you care less about politics. But it’s not true.

You start thinking a lot more about the kind of world you want to leave behind. You want it to be better than the one you were born into.

We all have a personal legacy in mind. Mine is to outlive Trumpism.
