CEO pay is up 1,085% since 1978, while typical worker pay is up just 24%. 

Why do we always hear "we can't afford to pay our workers more" but never "we can't afford to pay our CEO more"?

Romance is so much more fun to read when they’re obsessed with each other. I don’t want normal, I want them unhinged.

Hey, everyone!

Here are some of my favorite online markets to use instead of Amazon:

etrailer.com - DIY products, RV focused
bhphotovideo.com - Tech products, Jewish owned
chewy.com - everything pets, including prescriptions
bookshop.org - buy books, support local bookstores

Share yours below!

Fearing repercussions from your government. Fearing the sudden loss of healthcare for your whole family. Fearing that what the government intends for you is mere sadism—trauma without purpose or justification. This is what evil men do when we let them spend a lifetime doing evil without consequence.

"The scope of this greed is something we have never, ever seen before in this country, and we should not accept it as normal in the United States of America."

Of course, if Amy Gleason is the administrator of DOGE, as my colleagues and others have now confirmed, the questions now are *when* she was named and whether she has actual authority or is a conduit for Musk.

DOJ lawyers couldn't answer either question in court yesterday.

The GOP passed a budget resolution tonight that will gut Medicaid, SNAP, and other vital programs — as 60% of Americans live paycheck to paycheck.

Why? To finance more tax cuts for the top 1%.

We have socialism in this country for the rich, harsh capitalism for everyone else.

This morning at Dept of Housing and Urban Development (HUD) HQ in DC as mandatory return to office began, this video played on loop for ~5 mins on screens throughout the building, per agency source.

Building staff couldn’t figure out how to turn it off so sent people to every floor to unplug TVs.
