What I always hear: “We can’t afford to pay our workers more than $15 an hour.”

What I never hear: “We can’t afford to pay our CEO millions of dollars a year.”

Funny how that works.

Donald Trump telling Marjorie Taylor Greene not to talk about Epstein because "my friends will get hurt" is an example of how manipulative Donald is.

Donald doesn't have any friends. And he only cares about himself.

He was trying to manipulate her to protect himself.

When one makes up that many lies it's inevitable the lies will conflict with each other. It's more proof that it's all been lies.

When and if sane and honest people ever again control the U.S. government, one of the first things they should do is enact a tax on large accumulations of wealth. https://robertreich.substack.com/p/if-the-market-were-working-well-we

Carlitos Ricardo Parias was shot in the elbow by ICE during an immigration arrest in October.

A judge tossed the indictment after finding the government violated his constitutional rights, and it looks intentional.

He’s not hiding his medical records because he’s healthy, and he’s not hiding the Epstein files because he’s innocent.
This isn’t complicated.

Russia chose to grant Snowden protection and citizenship, and his continued presence there has served Russia's interests. A U.S. pardon would retroactively legitimize those decisions at America’s expense.#holdfast

This is such a scary, dangerous moment. The President of the United States is, and always has been, on Putin’s side. Which means as long as he’s in the White House, the United States is NOT on Ukraine’s side and is NOT on the side of the free world. Our European allies must understand this. Quickly.

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.

If Marjorie Taylor Greene *really* cared about the Epstein victims, she would read the names of the perpetrators on the House floor (where she would have immunity) before she leaves office.

Did the United States really spend trillions of dollars on winning the Cold War, only for its president in 2025 take orders from a Russian dictator?

This is an earth-shattering humiliation for America of which its reputation may never recover.

One way to quantify the GOP's attack on free and fair elections:

My law firm is litigating 78 voting and election cases in 39 states. This is, by far, the largest caseload we have carried in a non-election year and close to our peak in 2024. The question is how many more can a small firm handle.

Julie K. Brown is a reporter for the Miami Herald who did groundbreaking work on Epstein beginning in 2018, including groundbreaking work on the disgusting coverup by Alex Acosta.

Her travel itinerary was released with some of the Epstein files. It appears the DOJ was monitoring her in 2019.
