Thanks to Mike Johnson, House Republicans voted to allow senators to fleece taxpayers for millions of dollars as their reward for conspiring with Trump to try and overturn an election, and now House Republicans will be held accountable for that when it happens.

This story is extraordinary even by 2025 standards. Marco Rubio, the nation's top diplomat, made a deal with Bukele and agreed to renege on informant agreements in a years-long DOJ investigation into MS-13, totally undercutting credibility of such agreements.

Starbucks is closing stores and cutting 900 jobs in a restructuring move.
1,100 jobs were slashed earlier this year.
Reminder that Starbucks’ CEO made 6,666x more than the company's median employee in 2024.
This was the widest CEO-to-Worker pay gap in the entire S&P 500.

MSNBC has zero moral authority to talk about cowardice of Disney, ABC, or Republicans for bending the knee to MAGA when they did exact thing in their termination of me and others. They are doing the exact thing they complain about others doing.
