The oil industry buys off Congress. No action on climate. The NRA buys off Congress. No action on guns. Insurance companies buy off Congress. No action on health care. The list goes on and on. Money in politics is the root of our dysfunction.

The top five egg producers own roughly half of all U.S. laying hens. The biggest of those corporations is Cal-Maine, which just announced quarterly profits of $509 million — more than 3x what it made a year ago. Corporate concentration + bird flu = a price-hiking free for all.

Good morning. Today is the 80th day that the U.S. President is running a backdoor bribery scheme in which any CEO or foreign oligarch can send him money secretly through his crypto coin scam in exchange for favors. It's the biggest scandal in the history of the Presidency.

Let’s be clear. He sold $2.4 billion of his stock the day before he announced tariffs. He’s now crashing the stock market deliberately. He will then buy stock when it’s fallen through the floor. All this is is him stiffing everyone to get richer. That’s it.

I drink basic ass Folgers black silk coffee. It's nothing special. It's cheap and strong, which are my 2 requirements. In the past week, a med. sided container went from $14 and change to over 17. A lg. container went from a little over $15 to 20. The tariffs haven't even hit yet. Price gauging

While we all watch the absolute decimation of trillions of dollars in 401K holdings, just remember this. 75M of you voted for this. For those who sat this one out or voted for the orange fat fuck because they didn't like a black woman who liked to smile, I have a simple message. Fuck you.

The Trump admin’s tolerance for corruption is both an invitation to corruption and a signal of approval of corruption. Corruption is the theme of this administration. www.brookings.edu/articles/us-...

Auchincloss: Republicans don’t think of themselves as members of a separate and co-equal branch of government, devised by the Constitution to be a check on the power of the presidency. Instead, they see themselves more like a board of advisors to a CEO—competing for access as courtiers.

It's weird to have elected leaders who say they want to crash the economy, reinstate segregation, strip human rights and create a perpetual underclass and then have people ask why are they doing this are they bad at economics ?

I have a real question that I need smart people to answer. So,America clearly fucked up. Is there a way to remove Congress people that refuse to vote in line with their constituents' wishes? Can a district impeach their own representative? If so, does anyone have some $ to run ads in those areas?
