“why is Luigi so popular?”

Life-saving drugs should be accessible, not grossly overpriced just to explode unjust profits. It's time to end the practice of these extreme price hikes and the unjust corporate concentration and market monopolization that makes it possible. We need fair competition and just pricing.

The next president has to do two things: 1) right the wrongs of Trump and go after those who broke the law and were corrupt. 2). Then spend time divesting power from the presidency and building real guardrails and passing laws like, “the president is not immune” etc. And get the money out

Yay it’s Reclaiming My Time…um time again! And yes it’s Noem getting trashed again!

"Avelo, a little known budget airline, is nowthe carrier for ICE deportation flights. But Avelo’s government approved abductions can – and must – be stopped. They took this contract because they prioritize profit over people, and we need to show them that there’s no profit in kidnapping.+

My latest newsletter takes a deep dive into Alex Cooper and her continued affiliation with Barstool Sports, and why that makes a partnership with the NWSL especially ill-advised for a league attempting to re-brand after multiple sexual and workplace abuse scandals.

Whoa‼️ Acting FEMA chief David Richardson just told his staff, “Don’t get in my way… I will run right over you.”—at his intro meeting. Threatening career FEMA workers who might resist Trump’s agenda. What matters is loyalty. Obey or get steamrolled. Authoritarianism — one agency at a time.

The war in Gaza has killed or injured 170,000. Children are starving to death. Trump is encouraging the ethnic cleansing of 2.2 million people. Why is there no discussion in the US government about why we are spending billions of taxpayer dollars starving children in Gaza?

Elmo’s LinkedIn update has me 😫

Trump’s trade deficit is growing—and so is the myth that Republicans are fiscally responsible. The media keeps letting GOP leaders lie unchecked, while Americans miss the basic facts they deserve to know. @joshlevs.bsky.social explains

And you thought the left was censorious. How about actual censoring?

Wealth hoarding is a competitive sport for these MFers. They can NEVER be satiated. They'll ALWAYS take MORE. Until we organize and stop them.

This brief summary of yesterday’s letter is really good.

Never Surrender

The worst form of addiction that this country now faces is the greed of the oligarchy.

This is your regular reminder that executive orders are not royal decrees. Because America has no king.

He’s so good at this.

Quinn's powerful message to trans athletes and the importance of being your authentic self 🏳️‍⚧️🥺

WOW. One of the Venezuelans whom Kristi Noem tried to render to El Salvador's slave prison managed to avoid removal and was able to make it to immigration court, and you'll never guess what happened: THE GOVERNMENT GAVE NO EVIDENCE OF HIS GANG MEMBERSHIP. Due process ftw
