It took four years longer than Trump planned, but the January 6th insurrection ultimately succeeded after all. This was due to three main reasons: the cowardice of feckless Republicans in Congress; the greed of all-powerful billionaires; and disinformation fed to voters by Fox News and social media.

Always selling to the highest bidder.
In case anyone was wondering, that goes for National Secrets as well.

A federal judge just blocked Kroger's $24.6B acquisition of Albertsons.

Four corporations control 70% of retail grocery sales in America. Kroger and Albertsons are two of those corporations.

Less competition means more opportunity to price gouge.

This deal was a rotten egg.

The NY Attorney General has REJECTED Trump's bid to dismiss his $500M civil fraud judgment post-election. The AG stated that Trump's presidency doesn't shield him from civil litigation over non-official conduct, per the Constitution and multiple court precedents.

Misconstrued? Pete Hegseth has been crystal clear: he doesn't think women in the military belong in combat and now he's trying to cover up his dangerous views.

This is a baffling article, seeing a contradiction where none exists. Immigrants appear to be complements, not substitutes for native-born workers. So deporting many of them drives up the wages of the remaining immigrants, but reduces real wages for the native-born 1/ www.ft.com/content/2bb6...
Economists need to get their story straight on immigration
Focusing on the impact on the wages or employment levels of native workers is too narrow

If we all find 100 posts to like every day, engagement and good will on @bsky.app grows exponentially.

Is it worth a few minutes to make the platform stronger ?
