One thing we've learned from the American judicial system: The first 34 felonies are on the house*.

*Terms and conditions may apply. See prosecutors for details if you're not white. Or rich.

CEOs were paid 281x as much as a typical worker in 2024.

The Trump-Republican big ugly bill not only cut taxes for CEOs, it also included a tax break that allows corporations to write off the cost of private jets faster.

Is it any wonder why so many think the system is rigged?

A majority of the 500 biggest U.S. companies now pay for their CEOs to fly on private jets.

ICE racially profiles an elderly man and takes him into custody. They realize their mistake and release him. They also intimidate witnesses. This incident occurred in Long Beach, California.

I knew Fox News was theater. I just didn't realize it was a repertory theater that recycles actors for different roles.

You'd think a company that had to pay $787,000,000 for deceiving its viewers would be a little more careful about blatantly continuing the practice.

Did you know that the big ugly bill gives 28 billion of unchecked funds to ICE while they take away your healthcare?
Is this what you meant you wanted when you voted for Trump, or worse-didn’t vote?
Your river of tears won’t help you now.
Major self-own! Enjoy poverty.
