Amazon just announced 14,000 layoffs. Its CEO made over $40M last year.

UPS announced 48,000 layoffs. Its CEO made over $24M last year.

Intel announced 20,000 layoffs. Its new CEO's pay package is valued at nearly $69M.

This is what I mean when I say the system is rigged.

Half of all Americans die in hospice care.

Easy money and a lack of regulation transformed a crusade to provide death with dignity into an industry rife with fraud and exploitation.

Right now, Democrats should be unified in opposition against Trump’s Tax Scam and Republicans’ corruption.

Unfortunately, some Senate Democrats are on the verge of helping the GOP advance a bill that would enable Trump’s corruption. Please call your senators ASAP: indivisible.org/resource/cal...

Republicans in the Judiciary Committee just voted to allow Trump to illegally detain and deport US citizens.

They won't even stand up for their own US citizen constituents. This is stunning.

The nominee for U.S. Attorney in D.C. is a Jan. 6 conspiracy theorist and celebrant who praised a white supremacist Hitler-lover as an “extraordinary man, and extraordinary leader.” Are there no Republicans who will oppose this disgraceful nomination? www.washingtonpost.com/dc-md-va/202...

The Attorney General is so unserious.

If you’re a prosecutor who is serious about obtaining a conviction, you don’t go on Fox and talk about the (alleged) facts of the case like this.

Has Bondi read the Justice Manual? Has Bondi heard of pretrial publicity motions? How about bar ethics rules?

NEW: When a firefighter dies, a small team of federal health workers helps pinpoint what went wrong and identify how to avoid similar accidents in the future.

Trump laid off nearly all of them.

Morning Bluesky.

A draft Executive Order seen by the NYT suggests the US is about to abandon Africa, which would be a big win for Russia and China.

The drastic overhaul of the State Department would eliminate almost all African operations and close embassies and consulates.
