Florida Republican lands MILLION DOLLAR ANNUAL golden parachute job as president of Florida's largest state college in "hastily arranged" vote. Welcome to America's future. Reads like The Onion.

Wasn’t the outrage over Hillary Clinton’s private email server at home the possibility that it might contain sensitive information? But now South African Michael Scott can just install a commercial server at OPM to scoop it all up?

I was a hungry kid. I often went without school lunch because I didn’t have the money. I later moved to Oklahoma and attended school on native land. Guess what the Cherokee did? They fed every kid with no questions asked. I was able to learn with a full belly with no shameful stigma attached.

Ann Telnaes resigned after the Washington Post editorial page killed her cartoon. It’s worth a share. Big Tech executives are bending the knee to Donald Trump and it’s no surprise why: Billionaires like Jeff Bezos like paying a lower tax rate than a public school teacher.

Jeff Bezos never wanted this cartoon to become public. He killed it, and as a result, pulitzer prize editorial cartoonist Ann Telnaes quit. Make sure everyone sees this cartoon.

Until a member of Congress goes to jail for theft and/or fraud, these offenses are going to keep happening. It is time for us to publicly declare—if by no means accept—that both DOJ and the FBI have no problem whatsoever with politicians defrauding their donors or stealing money from voters. None.

Imagine celebrating Donald Trump’s victory in November Then being MORE excited at the death of Jimmy Carter And calling him “a despot” After he won the Nobel Peace Prize for his work in human rights And spent decades building houses for people in need Friends-THIS is what we’re fighting against

The "Department of Government Efficiency" (DOGE) is just a scheme to cut spending on everyone except billionaires, funneling funds to further enrich the wealthy.

so the party that tells young men not go to college because it’s gay has a feudal tech faction that hates hiring women but is ok with hiring brown men under strict visas that tie them to employers and the ethnonationalist faction doesn’t like that so the tech faction is doing social media censorship

The concentration of wealth in the hands of an elite few isn't just bad for our economy. It's corrosive to our democracy. When the wealthy and well-connected control our political system, the American people don't have a voice. The result is demagoguery and corruption.

Trump's first round of tax cuts for the rich added nearly $2 trillion to the debt. Extending them would add another $5 trillion. If we "can't afford" universal health care or paid family leave or basic social safety nets, Trump's handouts to the rich are why.

The CFPB has returned nearly $20 billion to the victims of financial fraud since 2011. This is the real reason why billionaires want to abolish the agency. It actually fights for working people.

America's richest 10% now hold 60% of the nation's wealth. The bottom half of America? It holds just 6%. Wealth inequality is eating this country alive.

The biggest divide in America today is not between “right” and “left,” or between Republicans and Democrats. It’s between democracy and oligarchy. The old labels — “right” and “left” — prevent most people from noticing they’re being shafted. Know the truth.

Even a system that calls itself a democracy can become an oligarchy if power becomes concentrated in the hands of a few very wealthy people.

This is the supreme irony of the MAGA schism over H-1Bs. Many workers who stayed at Twitter after Musk’s takeover did so because their status in the US was contingent on their employment. They kept a site running that was then used by MAGA folks to question why they were here in the first place.

The richest man on the planet could probably solve child cancer himself using less money than he burned destroying Twitter. Instead, he used his influence to strip $190 million from the budget for pediatric cancer research. What a fucking asshole.

ONLY AN ABSOLUTE HORROR OF A HUMAN BEING WOULD DO THIS… Republicans slashed $200 million for childhood cancer research—a program created with bipartisan support under Obama—from the CR bill. Why? Because Elon Musk told them to.

They cut pediatric cancer research out of the bill after President Musk got involved. Pediatric cancer research. Merry Christmas.

Today, #KashPatel sent a letter to my counsel @markzaidesq.bsky.social threatening to sue & demanding I retract my MSNBC comments on his unfitness to serve as FBI Director. This follows his threats against media & political opponents, showing how he might act if confirmed. I stand by my statements.
