Capitalism "can never be a free market, because the concentration of wealth that it inevitably brings will overflow into the political system and mean that the state will continue to skew the market in favour of big capital." -- Steve Owens

USDA Secretary Brooke Rollins announced that she plans to force millions of low-income SNAP recipients to reapply for the program. The news comes just weeks after Trump announced that, during the government shutdown, it would not provide SNAP benefits to those reliant on the program.
USDA Secretary Says All SNAP Recipients Must Reapply, Dubiously Citing Fraud
“Forcing millions to reapply is a deliberate effort to shrink the program and leave families hungry,” said one lawmaker.

Billie Eilish asked an important question: "If you’re a billionaire, why are you a billionaire?"

There are FIVE ways to accumulate a billion dollars:

1) Profiting from a monopoly
2) Insider-trading
3) Political payoffs
4) Fraud
5) Inheritance

Billionaires are the result of a failed system.

They are confident that the files will not be released because of an "open DOJ investigation" which is why they are agreeing to vote yes, not because they had a change of heart.
Breaking on MS NOW: Republican Sen. Tommy Tuberville says he'll support the resolution to release the Epstein files if it makes it to the Senate.

"Sure, I'd vote for it," he tells NBC News. "…the Democrats have been yelling about it. Let's just shut them up."

I took social media apps off my phone. I look at these sites a lot less & it's felt like my brain is healing.

I've come to believe it's no coincidence that this society's smartest, most talented & creative people are barely on these sites. They are protecting their brains.

Trump and Pete Hegseth just killed three more people in another bombing, this time in the Pacific. The dead were said to be part of a "designated terrorist organization," which is itself utterly absurd. No evidence provided.
Trump's illegal murders in the Caribbean just got worse. An internal DOJ memo on the bombings says the victims are waging war on the US, but per NYT, it extensively cites the WH's *own claims* to this effect as evidence!

It gets even darker than that. 1/

But for years he rebuilt the American legal system, resulting in the Supreme Court's right-wing supermajority.

Remember: The concentration of wealth in the hands of a few isn't just bad for our economy. It's corrosive to our democracy.

When the wealthy and well-connected control our political system, regular people don't have a voice.

The result? The demagoguery and corruption we're seeing now.
