Amazon just announced 14,000 layoffs. Its CEO made over $40M last year.
UPS announced 48,000 layoffs. Its CEO made over $24M last year.
Intel announced 20,000 layoffs. Its new CEO's pay package is valued at nearly $69M.
This is what I mean when I say the system is rigged.

We are overdue for a “ Have you no decency” kind of moment.
Pritzker: "When did we become a country where it's ok for the US president to insist on national television that a state should call him to beg for anything? Especially something we don't want. Have we truly lost all sense of sanity in this nation that we treat this as normal?"

Had a powerful convo with a fellow resister today. We must stop saying “Congress” when we mean Republicans. The GOP hides in our ambiguity. The average voter blames “Congress” while the GOP escapes accountability. Name the culprit. Every time. #Voices4Victory #DemVoice1 #USDemocracy #ProudBlue

Watch MAGA Republican Byron Donalds (R-FL) get DESTROYED by seniors at his town hall in ruby-red Estero when he tried to defend DOGE.
He tried to pivot to Obama and Biden, but the crowd kept yelling:
“Yes or No.”
The man who wants to be Florida's next governor is in for a rude awakening.

Many lawyers who argue for Trump at Supreme Court are heading for the exit
At least half of the front-line attorneys in the solicitor general’s office plan to leave as Trump’s emergency requests pile up at the high court, people familiar with the situation said.

House Republicans unanimously voted to gut the power of federal courts with the so-called “No Rogue Rulings Act”—a direct assault on the judicial branch. They’ve abandoned the Constitution and their constituents.
