Trickle down economics does not work we have 50 years of data that proves it. The only time it will trickle down for the public is when Americans stand up and stop being bent over by the corporations bribing our government officials to have their way with us.

Please stop sending breakng news alerts via email or text like "Chuck Todd is leaving NBC". This is not important info I will ever need to have right away.

Heard ads on Spotify targeting the The Durbin-Marshall Credit Card Competition Act which would open up credit networks, giving business owners choices, reduce swipe fees, & reduce prices. Competition is bad for Visa & Mastercard's monopolistic marketshare & that's who pays for the ads opposing it.

No, it can’t be. This is illegal and also unworkable. Stop acting like it’s a legitimate idea to be entertained

I’m still not over the fact that Tim Walz went viral for calling Republicans ‘weird,’ put Trump and Vance on the defensive, then got picked as Harris’s running mate because of it, and then… he was immediately silenced, disappeared, and Dems stopped calling the GOP ‘weird.’

Dems. Never. Learn

“Report by Jack Smith says evidence ‘was sufficient to obtain and sustain a conviction’ had Trump not won re-election in 2024” - or had Garland not dragged his feet on this whole thing!!

Senator Gary Peters to Pete Hegseth: "I don't think there's a board of directors in America that would hire you as a CEO...you talk about standards...do you think that the way to raise the minimum standards of the people who serve us is to lower the standards for the Secretary of Defense?" 🎤

How can skin this thin still look like luggage?

Love this.

Indeed, we are burying more than just one man today. We are burying the myths of America. We have been profoundly exposed, in this era.

Paradise was wiped off the map and nothing happened. Lahaina was wiped off the map and no changes came. Now Pacific Palisades. There will be no changes. Because our government is owned by those doing this. The next city will be larger.

Trump got the questions ahead of time from Fox. Exactly what he always accuses Democrats of. What a surprise. www.cnn.com/2025/01/08/m...

$1,131,794,901 That's how much Big Oil has spent over the last 30 years paying off Congress to look the other way on climate action while the planet burns. Well, the planet is burning. Don't let them look away.

Congratulations to Exxon Mobil, Chevron, ConocoPhillips for all the work they did on the LA fires! Without their hard work, it's unlikely so much of LA would be on fire. Thank you to everyone who works in the fossil fuel industry for everything you do to destroy human civilization.

I’m going to say it again for the trolls on here who have trouble listening the first time: James Earl “Jimmy” Carter Jr was ten times the man Donald Trump was every day of his life, ten times the Christian, and ten times the president. I said what I said. Good day.

John Roberts is very upset that the public has lost confidence in John Roberts and the institution John Roberts leads following a series of confidence-cratering actions by John Roberts and his colleagues, and therefore would like everyone to know that this is not John Roberts' fault, it's yours.

Nailed it!

"We don’t have a policy on Palestine. We just do what the Israelis want us to do.” - Mike Casey, the US diplomat working on Gaza who just quit his job.

"Meet Elon Musk, Our New Shadow President." As Democrats and pundits start (rightly) calling him "President Musk," I'd like to modestly point out that we at Zeteo were well ahead of the curve on this, running this Jacob Silverman piece on the Twitter boss's newfound unelected power back on Nov 11:

Clarence Thomas Torn Over Case Where Both Sides Offer Compelling Scuba Trips theonion.com/clarence-tho...

People who've never been dependent on a paycheck should not get to decide how long you can go without yours.

Ouch. #presidentmusk

the feds: stop trying to turn this guy into some cool antihero with a badass public image also the feds: *treat him like they’ve captured the joker*

Right?

Just so we’re clear what just happened: Republicans tore apart their funding agreement with Democrats after Elon Musk told them to. They created a new bill that defunded child cancer research. And then they failed to pass that bill too.

Ambassador Herschel Walker. What a shit show.

I was traveling through Ohio and surprised by a MAGA flag I'd never seen before. "In God, we trust. In Trump, we believe" It really is a digital cult wrapped in Christian Nationalism.

Sorry, what? Zuckerberg did WHAT??

The fact that AOC may be allowed to become ranking member of the oversight committee because the 84 year old, multimillionaire leader of the Democratic Party establishment fell down a set of marble stairs in Luxembourg is…rich with symbolism.

One after another, the billionaire media and social media bosses - Bezos, Zuckerberg, Soon-Shiong, Benioff - bend the knee to Trump. No wonder Trump himself is bragging about having "tamed" the US media. For once, he's not lying.

Nancy Mace arrives in Congress after her “assault.”

"People don’t cheer for chaos when they feel like justice is possible. But right now... the Supreme Court is corrupt, voting feels useless, and the people in power are funded by the very corporations they’re supposed to regulate."

Pelosi is an inside trader, if progressives came into power and put into place anti-corruption measures it would be detrimental to her portfolio.

This makes sense when u remember that Blumenthal has worked overtime to push dangerous and aggressive censorship bills that heavily restrict American’s first amendment rights and civil liberties. He and Musk are completely aligned on their goals to destroy actual free speech online.
