True statement, but not because we want it that way. I for one would be happy to retire if I could afford it. Which won’t happen anytime soon

The U.S. has officially accepted a luxury jetliner from Qatar as a gift, and slated it to become a new Air Force One. Experts say that overhaul could take years and cost hundreds of millions.

California has been leading the way on car pollution standards for decades. Big Oil spent millions to skirt the filibuster and stop California from providing clean vehicle options. This is a direct attack on the state’s legal autonomy and will have a ripple effect across the country.

BREAKING: Trump gave a gold watch to Chinese foreign national Justin Sun, who up until he invested $75M into Trump's crypto company, the SEC was investigating him for FRAUD. After then pouring $23M into Trump's meme coin, Sun got VIP ACCESS to Trump’s dinner last night. Imagine if Biden did this.

For the first time in modern US history, Moody’s has downgraded the United States credit rating from Aaa to Aa1. A direct consequence of economic mismanagement & tariff terrorism by Trump and the GOP, which will lead to higher interest rates on mortgages, credit cards, car loans, and student loans.

Moody’s Ratings downgraded the United States’ credit rating, as the country’s debt soars and interest rates remain high. The downgrade, from the highest rating to one notch below, comes as the president’s budget bill suffered a blow in Congress.

For no particular reason, I thought I’d remind folks about the time Trump reposted a full-size, full-color image of a truck that was “decorated” with an unconscious Joe Biden, arms and legs bound as though he’d been kidnapped, during the campaign. open.substack.com/pub/joycevan...

Kroger is allegedly overcharging consumers by listing expired sales prices on shelves and charging full price at checkout. And thanks to decades of consolidation, Kroger stores are now the only grocers in some rural areas. Minimal competition means maximized price gouging.

60% of American households can’t afford a minimal quality of life. Meanwhile, the 19 richest households saw their wealth increase by $1 trillion in 2024 — the biggest one-year increase ever. Our problem isn't a lack of resources. Our problem is ever-expanding inequality.

The state of Georgia is using the body of a brain-dead woman as an incubator. Because she was 9 weeks pregnant when she died, and their abortion ban is from about 6 weeks, they are sustaining her on life support, without input from her family, until 32 weeks of gestation. A true dystopian nightmare.

In the middle of the night, House Republicans released the text of Donald Trump's "big, beautiful bill." Despite what they've said for months, it's now confirmed: They're ripping health care away from millions of Americans to give their billionaire donors another tax cut.🧵

Imagine if Joe Biden accepted a gift, a $400 million luxury jet from a foreign country(Qatar) that funds Hamas, & would be for his personal use after leaving the presidency. All while he is threatening to take away people’s healthcare in his budget bill. Imagine the outrage. 😡 #BlueCrew #antiTrump
