CEO pay is up 1,085% since 1978, while typical worker pay is up just 24%.
Why do we always hear "we can't afford to pay our workers more" but never "we can't afford to pay our CEO more"?

"Zohran Mamdani was born in Uganda, but has lived in America since he was 7. He became a U.S. citizen in 2018. Donald Trump can’t just strip him of his citizenship, can he? The answer is kind of terrifying: It’s a definite 'maybe.'" And if him, anyone.
Trump Is Coming for Your Citizenship
Your citizenship won’t save you any more than Congress, or the laws, or the courts do.

The massive government failure seen in Texas and the loss of life can be directly attributed to the ongoing mismanagement under Greg Abbott. This isn't the first time Texas has been failed and as long as they keep empowering ghouls, it won't be the last.

To the “I voted for this” crowd:
You voted for the guy who gutted the National Weather Service. Now we’ve got dead families and missing kids in Texas, because storm warnings didn’t go out in time. And he gutted FEMA so they can’t properly respond to disasters.
That’s what you voted for?

As Texas officials point to the National Weather Service failing to predict the amount of rain that caused this tragedy, it’s fair to wonder if the cuts made to the dept that many warned about played a role here.
(Now add FEMA cuts & hospital closures)

Angus: Canadians need to be really ready. We are upping our investment in military spending significantly. We are now procuring from the Europeans—whereas before, we would have just gone to the United States as usual to buy gear. We’re not buying gear from the United States.

This Fourth of July, I am taking a moment to reflect. Things are hard right now. They are probably going to get worse before they get better.
But I love our country — and when you love something, you fight for it. Together, we will continue to fight for the ideals of our nation.

Congress abdicated its role as a separate and independent branch of government on January 20 while also relinquishing all oversight responsibility, so it’s entirely appropriate for Johnson to show that he has surrendered his gavel to the executive.

Mike Johnson just said if you are for reducing the deficit, this bill is for you.
The bill adds 3-4 trillion dollars to the deficit.
