I worry about my daughter because of the way Trump's corruption works. If he wants to impress a dictator like Putin and Putin wants to please a mobigarch who wants young American women to sell as sex slaves then what happens? Kidnapping? I bet Andrew Taint knows exactly how it works. Scumbags!

I wonder if Musk would like to replace the hard fought 40hr work week with unlimited hours with no overtime? Flex pay determined by task and time of day? Back charging employees for work not done on time? More red state "right to work" nonsense. He'd immediately get fired from almost any job.

After 2008, they bought up all the homes for pennies on the dollar, charged the people who lost them exorbitant rent, sucked out all the equity as home values went up and kept increasing rent to cover it. The vampire squid Matt Taibbi described in RS magazine is bigger and hungrier than ever.

I think the disingenuous rhetoric and betrayal of trust Trump and Vance exhibited in the meeting probably, unfortunately, looks very familiar to Zelinsky from His dealings with Putin and other kleptocratic "leaders" in his region. Albeit with a swingin' dick real-estate developer spin. GROSS!!

@aoc.bsky.social Private equity seems to be doing a lot of harm to ordinary people in various sectors of the economy. I think more privatization and deregulation, like republicans propose, would allow them to own everything and capture all of the productivity gains made by American workers.

I think the tax cuts Republicans are so enthralled with are maybe a little about the money but much more about de-funding the regulatory capacity of the government.

I don't know if this is true for others but it seems like the number of spam, scam and loan offer calls I get every day has exploded since the CFPB was shut down. Same exact voicemail left, always from different numbers. Impossible to block them all

I'd love to see a comparison between the types of people Putin has put at the head of various agencies that do his political assassinations and arrests and the types of people Trump has put in charge of various agencies. Are Trump's sycophants willing to assassinate and arrest his opponents.
