Trump's DOJ has granted Boeing a non-prosecution agreement over the 737 MAX crashes, despite the company's repeated attempts to deceive regulators. Boeing donated $1M to Trump's inauguration and has paid AG Pam Bondi's former lobbying firm at least $480K. Follow the money.

Yet another lesson in how "corporate social responsibility" is mostly BS. Corporations are in the business of making as much money as possible. They will do whatever they can to maximize their profits and share values, social responsibility be damned.

At NASA’s Goddard Institute for Space Studies, Manhattan, they specialize in planetary climates — especially Earth's. The White House decided not to renew their building lease — where they’ve been for 64 years. NASA’s total funding is 0.3% of the Federal Budget. Just saying.

These are real images of exoplanets. Four super-Jupiters, imaged 10 times over 12 years around a star 133 lightyears away. These are real, giant worlds, out there in the dark. And we can see them.

This piece features one bone-chilling quote after another: “Most Americans ... may assume they can keep their heads down for four years, make concessions, and then regain their independence on the back end. But history shows—and the Hungarian experience shows—that they would be mistaken.”

Today, U.S. Department of Education will resume collecting on defaulted student loans. It sounds hard to believe, but college used to be free. This is the real story behind skyrocketing student debt. (Spoiler: It has a lot to do with Ronald Reagan)

How did 11 top corporations — including PepsiCo, ComCast, and Kimberly Clark — spend their spoils from Trump's tax scam? By spending three times as much on stock buybacks as they paid in taxes. Nothing trickled down. https://www.theguardian.com/us-news/2025/apr/09/trump-tax-cuts-stock-buybacks

I'm sure this has nothing to do with the fact that Intuit, the company that owns TruboTax, which makes money off filing income taxes with the IRS, gave Donald Trump $1,000,000 for his inauguration slush fund. #Corruption

Trump bears the bulk of the blame for the unprecedented global economic crisis now unfolding. But let’s not ignore the role played by the hideously bad judgment of the business and financial leaders who supported Trump and didn’t realize this was an inevitable outcome.

A tricky thing about modern society is that no one has any idea when they don’t die. Like, the number of lives saved by controlling air pollution in America is probably over 200,000 per year, but the number of people who think their life was saved by controlling air pollution is zero.

Trump’s Commerce Secretary told people to buy Tesla stock last night. The White House announced that it will use Starlink internet earlier this week. And Trump held a Tesla showcase at the White House last week. The robber barons of the first Gilded Age would be jealous.
