Friend who served in the Army says he’s getting messages from friends still serving saying, “I’m ashamed to be an American.” Utterly disgusting.

I can't stress enough just how awful this bill is. It's not a question of "will my utility bills go up if this passes?" It's DESIGNED to make your bills go up while removing tons of oversight from utilities. arktimes.com/arkansas-blo...

Just got fired from being a freshman football coach, if you want to know what MAGA does to communities. They don’t care about what helps people, because the school is certainly not going to find an ex-NFL player willing to coach there at that level, they only care about trying to hurt people.

Jeff Bezos Sends Note To Whole Foods Staff Forbidding Criticism Of Grapes

submitted 1 day ago • 159 comments

87% of jobs at Amazon pay less than $20 an hour while half of its warehouse workers struggle to cover food and housing costs. Meanwhile, Jeff Bezos saw his net worth increase by $7.9 million an hour in 2023. Is this the "free market" Bezos is so desperate to defend?

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?

The GOP passed a budget resolution last night that will gut Medicaid, SNAP, and other vital programs — as 60% of Americans live paycheck to paycheck. Why? To finance tax cuts for the top 1%. We have socialism in this country for the rich, harsh capitalism for everyone else.

Trump's Social Security Administration commissioner just called for a 50% staff reduction. This would gut SSA field offices and make it harder for millions of seniors to access benefits. Make no mistake: this is an attack on Social Security itself.

The embrace and protection of Andrew Tate at the highest level of US government tells you everything you need to know about this rotten administration. They worship at the altar of abusing women and girls. Their version of morality supports sex trafficking under the guise of camming

Andrew Tate being allowed to come to the U.S. and avoid facing trial for sex trafficking in Romania is beyond stomach-churning. This man is a HUGE influencer and uses his platform/following to further abuse women who have accused him. Now he won’t face justice, reaffirming his lies to his followers

So increasing the minimum wage to a livable wage is “socialism”? But Amazon union busting, keeping wages low, and forcing workers onto public assistance while its founder increases his net worth by $7.9M an hour is the "free market"? Perhaps this could be a WaPo opinion piece.

Last week, the Senate GOP passed a budget that included a $150B increase in military spending. This week, the House GOP will vote on its own budget — which includes massive cuts to Medicaid and SNAP to pay for more billionaire tax cuts. This isn't about what we can "afford."

I understand why these stories exist but it’s important to be clear that he’s not “saving” 16 billion, he’s choosing, personally, without oversight, to wipe out 16 billion dollars of government services to veterans and the disabled and food safety etc etc
