Peace must be the goal — for both Israelis and Palestinians. When Trump ignores the damage caused by the Netanyahu government and calls him a “hero,” it shows he’s not taking this seriously. Without accountability, peace becomes harder to achieve.
Netanyahu, Trump project unity as Middle East tensions rise
Netanyahu has hailed Trump as the “greatest friend Israel has ever had in the White House.” Now the two must navigate rifts over Middle East strategy.

What I always hear: “We can’t afford to pay our workers more than $15 an hour.”
What I never hear: “We can’t afford to pay our CEO millions of dollars a year.”
Funny how that works.

Democrats gave these companies everything they wanted. This is the result. I’m running to put an end to it. Giant corporations are not on your side.
Google is hosting a CBP app that uses facial recognition to identify immigrants, while simultaneously removing apps that report the location of ICE officials because Google sees ICE as a vulnerable group. “Big tech has made their choice.”

After buying it for $18.8 billion, Walgreens' new private equity owner has eliminated paid holidays for all hourly workers on Christmas and New Year's.
Last year, Walgreens had a CEO-to-Worker pay gap of 410 to 1.
Corporate greed that would make even Scrooge blush.

John Deere got this video taken off our YouTube for two weeks. It took our lawyers reaching out to YouTube to get it back up.
The video lays out how a handful of corporations took control of the agriculture industry, bankrupting farmers and screwing us all over.

Throwback Thursday to Christmas of 1999 — when Pokémon cards were currency, Furby was watching us, and Tekno Dog felt like the future.
A lot has changed since then.
Washington… not so much.
It might be time for leadership that understands today’s challenges — and tomorrow’s opportunities.

1. For at least 10 years, Pepsi has conspired with Walmart to force up grocery prices. That’s the shocking evidence made public today in an unsealed FTC lawsuit. The suit was abandoned in May by the Trump FTC just before it was to be un-redacted. We went to court to get it unsealed & won.
