Truth be told, it does seem kind of silly to have the FBI do background checks on presidential appointees when the president is a convicted criminal and an adjudicated digital rapist.

Just an incredible sentence to appear in a news story about the man who might be the next attorney general.

CMS is a real job. Maybe a TV host can pretend to do some mid-tier cabinet position while a deputy does the real work. CMS is a technocratic job responsible for 6,000 employees, complicated billing policy, HIPAA, etc. Dr. Oz knows how to do precisely none of that. www.axios.com/2024/11/19/t...

The IRS rolled out its first-ever free filing program thanks to the Inflation Reduction Act — which every Republican voted against. This "efficiency" department kicked things off by announcing two people will run it. Now it's recreating services that already exist. Efficient!

It’s never been about protecting kids. It’s always been about power. These people are disgusting. And we keep electing them.

Zuckerberg owns Facebook, Instagram, Threads, and WhatsApp. Jeff Bezos owns the Washington Post. Elon Musk owns Twitter/X. When multi-billionaires take control of our most vital platforms for communication, it’s not a win for free speech. It’s a win for oligarchy

"From pardoning Trump’s enemies to holding pre-confirmation hearings on his dangerous Cabinet picks, Biden and Senate Dems must move fast to protect democracy from the dictator-in-waiting." Important piece from @normornstein.bsky.social for Zeteo. Hope White House & Senate Democrats listen to him!

Boeing workers went on strike for seven weeks. You might have missed it, earlier this month they ratified a new contract that includes a 43% wage increase, as well as improvements to retirement and healthcare benefits. Remember that we can always find hope in the labor movement.

On this day in 1960, a six-year-old Ruby Bridges became the first Black student to attend William Frantz Elementary School, an all-white school in Louisiana. A mob protested her. This is not ancient history. Ruby bridges is 70 now.

Democrats should use this inflection point to shift ground – from being the party of well-off college graduates, big corporations, “never-Tumpers” like Dick Cheney and vacuous “centrism” – to an anti-establishment party ready to shake up the system on behalf of the vast majority of Americans.

Casual reminder to ignore the anti-union propaganda from corporate America. If unions were actually bad for workers, corporations wouldn't need to spend millions of dollars on union-busting.

Working Americans need real champions. To win back them back, Dems must unapologetically take on the billionaires and corporations who have rigged our economy.

The GOP loves blaming the deficit on Social Security and Medicare. But the real culprit is giveaways to corporations and the rich. If not for the regressive tax cuts under Bush and Trump, we would have a stable debt-to-GDP ratio. That's one thing the GOP will never tell you.

So the richest man in the world spent $130 million to elect Donald Trump. Now he's being put in charge of a "government efficiency" agency while controlling corporations with billions in government contracts that are also under federal investigations. See how this works?

Trump promised to lower costs, but his House Republican allies are now demanding he scrap Biden's crackdown on junk fees charged by banks. These fees cost consumers over $3.5 billion every year. Once again — the GOP isn't the party of working people.

A handful of billionaires now have unprecedented control over banking, the food we eat, the health care we can access and, now, the information we receive. This is what oligarchy looks like.

Ever since Citizens United, outside spending on elections by groups like super PACs has skyrocketed. The biggest individual donor to outside spending groups in 2024 was Timothy Mellon — heir to the Mellon banking fortune. This is how dynastic wealth corrupts our politics.

Never forget this: The GOP’s nonsensical culture war is meant to distract you from corporate corruption, worker oppression, and staggering wealth inequality.
