Layoffs just hit their highest start-of-year total since January 2009 — the height of the Great Recession — according to data tracking firm Challenger.
Meanwhile, CEO pay and corporate profits continue to hit record highs.
Does anyone still believe that trickle-down tax cuts create jobs?

When anyone from SCTV dies it’s like 30 people have died. Every character they created was as alive as anyone else you’ve ever met.

I've been saying this since the first round with 45. The failed Reconstruction brought us here.
We did not properly punish the confederates. We did not properly punish the insurrectionists on January 6th. We have to punish ICE.
They can’t be allowed to slink back into their communities quietly. Expose them. Arrest them. Convict them. Imprison them.

The Democrats suggesting these milquetoast compromises are engaging in a huge mistake the union leaders call “negotiating with yourself.”
Any stance short of “Fuck you. Abolish ICE” leaves no room for meaningful change.
This move shows Democratic leaders are not just weak but also incompetent.

If Murphy et al are making a list of basic concessions upon which they’ll cave— which is what these “demands” really are: masks and visible badge numbers must be at the very top of the non-negotiable portion of that list and those state investigations? Must be *civilian* oversight boards.

Since this lawless Trump Regime refuses to hold their people accountable for crimes, this will happen again & again & again. Nobody will be prosecuted. Nobody will be fired. And Trump will pardon more wealthy fraudsters and drug dealers who pay $1 million to his PAC. Had enough?

The Goal Was (And Is) Dictatorship
This was clear years ago: Trump hungered for total power and retribution, while extremist Republicans mocked liberal government and right-wing groups plotted a fascist takeover.

Do any Republicans in Congress care about Trump grabbing oil from Venezuela, handing it off to his megadonors to sell on the international market to whoever, depositing the proceeds in foreign bank accounts, then spending the money however he sees fit with no input from Congress?

I can't believe I'm posting this video - but we actually have to have a conversation about the real world implications of America going to war over Greenland.
Let me walk you through it. It doesn't turn out well for us.

Better yet, disestablish all of DHS, and undo the nightmarish idiocies that we created in a panic 25 years ago. Reestablish the INS, get rid of ODNI, fix the damage from the Patriot Act, etc.
