Scott, people are trying to buy 1 house — to live in.

Could the Trump Admin be any more out of touch?

Artist Wefail has created an image of Trump devouring America in a reimagination of Francisco Goya’s Saturn Devouring His Son. Goya’s painting is one of a group of 14 works known as the Black Paintings, which were created during a period of extreme psychological distress. /1

🚨 BREAKING: Trump wants to scrap federal taxes on gambling winnings, encouraging more gambling even as Americans lost $71 billion to the industry in 2024. One of his top donors, Miriam Adelson, runs one of the world’s largest casino empires.

It wasn't long ago that women were forced to have a male co-signer to get a credit card or a home loan.

Now, the Trump administration wants to end protections against such discrimination.

🇺🇸 On this day 25 years ago, The Conservative Supreme Court handed George W. Bush the 2000 presidential election.
A heartbroken Al Gore graciously conceded, and delivered a passionate call for national unity.

🇺🇸 Just 20 years later, Donald J. Trump lost by 7 million votes and attacked our country.

Trump says he is striking boats off Venezuela to stop drugs, mostly cocaine per reports.

Yet he just pardoned the Honduran ex-president who helped push more than 500 tons of cocaine into the U.S., took a $1 million bribe from El Chapo and bragged he would “stuff the drugs up the gringos’ noses.”

Trump on the legality of his deadly boat strikes: ‘I think we’re just gonna kill people’

Trump has embraced a model that allows him to order deadly military strikes against civilians, at a time and location of his choosing, without the approval of Congress.

Five corporations control 90% of the US media market.

Airlines merged from 12 major carriers in 1980 to 4 today.

Four giants control 80% of meat processing.

A handful of companies control the pharmaceutical industry.

The evidence of corporate concentration is everywhere.
