Honduran Ex Pres & Drug kingpin pardoned by POTUS. What’s the Scam? The Payoff? Why do small boats off Venezuela get blown up and all survivors killed, while others get pardoned? Either way, you know it’s dirty. @apnews.com @sanders.senate.gov @govpritzker.illinois.gov

The four kids shot in Stockton, California were 8, 9, 14 and 21.

Why isn’t that a national tragedy?

Why doesn’t that provoke the outrage that we saw with Charlie Kirk or the National Guard shooting?

This country doesn’t care about children. They don’t care about gun violence.

I agree. It would be great to get rid of Citizens United though.
If Democrats want to regain working people, they must disavow Big Money.

They must hammer economic populism — and have a laser focus on the cost of living crisis in America.

There’s no way the party can speak for or represent the working class in America if it's beholden to corporate interests.

Careful? JPM had a huge client who moved large amounts of cash around and borrowed much easier than the rest of the world. His name was Jeffery Epstein. According to Sen E. Warren anyway.
Dimon on why JPMorgan Chase is not funding WH Ballroom:
We have an issue, which is anything we do, since we do a lot of contracts with governments here and around the world, we have to be very careful how anything is perceived, and also how the next DOJ is going to deal with it.

THIS IS BULLSHIT‼️

Undocumented immigrants already get almost no federal “tax benefits.” Fox makes it sound like there’s a giant welfare pipeline. Not true.

They’re barred from Social Security, Medicare, SNAP, unemployment, and most federal programs, yet they still pay billions into the system.

How we beat back the corporate takeover of America:

1. Break up corporate monopolies

2. Continue building union power

3. End Citizens United and get big money out of politics

Let’s keep working to unrig the system.

The moves come after a $60 million lobbying blitz from the chemical industry.

This is why you always follow the money.

The EPA has approved two new pesticides with "forever chemicals" that will be used on food.

The agency has also announced plans for four additional approvals.

The approved pesticides will be used on vegetables such as romaine lettuce, broccoli and potatoes.

The President of the United States just called for Democratic members of Congress to be executed. "HANG THEM", he posted.

If you're a person of influence in this country and you haven't picked a side, maybe now would be the time to pick a fucking side.

Citizens of Louisiana are much better than Clay Higgins. He must be voted out of office. Gator skinner would be a step up for this guy. @apnews.com @chrismurphyct.bsky.social
At least he was consistent. All the rest that refused to sign the discharge petition and spent months minimizing the scandal at every turn are no better.

Watching the Epstein survivors holding a news conference today on Capitol Hill. Truly heartbreaking listening to their stories. Some are getting threats. Will Congress listen? Will the Administration listen?

Beshear: Let me be clear. The president has both the funding and the authority to fund snap during a shutdown. In fact, every other president in every other shutdown has done so. People going hungry in this instance is a choice that this president has made.

We need unions now more than ever.
Walmart, McDonalds and Amazon are the largest employers of people who require SNAP assistance.

The CEOs earned between 18-40 million last year, 1000x their median employee income.

They took billions in profits, while their workers relied on SNAP to survive.

Wanna fix fraud and abuse?

Fix that.
