A new report found that Elon Musk faced at least $2.37 billion in potential legal liability from 11 federal agencies on inauguration day. Many are now on DOGE's chopping block or have dropped their investigations into Musk's corporations. "Conflict of interest" is an understatement.

If you wonder why men obsessed with the United States having more children are kidnapping children and sending them to other countries, those children were the incorrect color.

The 19 richest U.S. households saw a $1 trillion wealth increase in 2024, a rise that exceeds the size of Switzerland’s economy. These 19 households now control $2.6 trillion in wealth — almost as much wealth as the bottom 50% of American households. If this isn't an oligarchy, what is?

If you changed your name, don't have a passport, or can't easily jump through red tape, the Republican SAVE Act will make it harder for you to vote. They don't want voters to decide elections. They want the billionaires who spent $2.6 BILLION in the 2024 elections to decide.

100 billionaire families spent $2.6 billion in the 2024 election. 70% of these donations went to Republicans. Now, Republicans in Congress are gearing up to slash essential programs to pay for another round of tax cuts for the rich. This is what oligarchy looks like.

The report suggests that most would lose Medicaid coverage not because they aren’t complying with a work requirement, but because they would struggle to report their compliance to the state. @chatlanis.bsky.social @stateline.org kentuckylantern.com/2025/04/03/m...

“They have essentially taken the grant money that goes to museums, cultural centers, universities, colleges across the state and frozen that money.” The money the Kentucky Humanities Council would use for operations is also no longer available. www.weku.org/the-commonwe...

Trump and his family stand to gain substantially from their corrupt crypto ventures. The rest of the economy will be subject to large and unregulated risks. Beware. https://robertreich.substack.com/p/trumps-crypto-inc

Working families are struggling to afford gas, groceries, and rent. But I'm sure making them pay for a tax break for the richest people in America will help. 🙄

The top 0.1% of Americans control $22 trillion in wealth. The bottom 50% of the country controls $3.8 trillion in wealth. Read that back. Is it any wonder why so many think the system is rigged?

Hours after Donald Trump did a free commercial for Tesla on the White House lawn, Elon Musk reportedly announced plans to donate $100 million to a MAGA super PAC. Money in politics has always corrupted, but it's hardly been this brazen.

The median household income would be DOUBLE what it is today if income inequality had remained the same as it was in 1975. Read that again. Decades of trickle-down tax breaks for the wealthy and corporations did that. And Donald Trump wants to do it again.

HEY EVERYONE REMEMBER WHEN TRUMP WAS IMPEACHED FOR DENYING AID TO UKRAINE BECAUSE HE WANTED ZELENSKY TO LIE AND SAY BAD THINGS ABOUT BIDEN AND ZELENKSY WOULDN’T DO IT? Maybe literally one fucking American newspapers could mention this in their, “think pieces,” about what happened yesterday.

DOGE recommends cuts to the FAA. Hundreds of workers get fired, including those tasked with producing air traffic navigation maps. Now Starlink is reportedly in line to take over a $2 billion contract to upgrade the nation's air traffic control systems. See how this works?
