Big Tech CEOs took turns lavishing praise on Trump at a White House dinner this week.

Fascism backed by Big Money is one of the most dangerous of all political alliances.

It happened in 1930s Germany, and it’s happening again today. https://youtu.be/0LEnI9THvLA?feature=shared

The Trump-GOP tax bill proposal:

-Extend 2017 cuts for top earners
-Increase the "pass-through" loophole for big businesses
-Expand the estate tax exemption for the ultra-rich
-Make a huge tax break for offshore corporate profits permanent

Trickle down economics on steroids.

The richest man in the world spent more money than most of us will see in our lifetimes to lose a state Supreme Court race by 10 points.

And the fact his $25 million was a drop in the bucket compared to what he's spent on other elections is exactly why we must overturn Citizens United.

If Trumpty-Dumpty is working with the Russians to screw up America, he's doing a great job. Eggs, $11 a dozen. Health & Human Services down the dumper, ditto VA. If you call Social Security, they tell you to call back later. Guys 'n gals, this is more fucked up than Peter O'Toole on his birthday.

We expected 2,000 people out in GOP-held Greeley, Colorado.

11,000 people showed up.

Something special is happening, folks. Now is the time to organize in every dimension possible and get to work.

This is more important than you realize. Bluesky doesn’t downgrade links. Which means news sites will get more traffic from here than other sites.

Which gives them economic reasons to post here first.
Bluesky says it is now sending referral traffic through its "go" subdomain to make it easier for publishers to track the traffic coming from the social network (Sarah Perez/TechCrunch)

The administration is removing phone support for Soc Security recipients. Making it more difficult for seniors to get their checks. It’s a back door way to cut SS benefits. Horrific.

If you know anyone who is impacted, please help them get online to get their benefits approved

Truly the most corrupt President in U.S. history.

FTC Commissioners are charged with protecting consumers from corporate fraud & monopolies. Trump has no authority to fire them. He’s doing so to carry water for his corporate donors.

Just straight up corruption in violation of the law.
Exclusive: Trump fires both Democratic commissioners at FTC, sources say
President Donald Trump fired the two Democratic commissioners at the U.S. Federal Trade Commission on Tuesday, two sources familiar with the situation said, in another major test of the independence of regulatory agencies.
