Five corporations control 90% of the US media market.

Airlines merged from 12 major carriers in 1980 to 4 today.

Four giants control 80% of meat processing.

The evidence of corporate consolidation is everywhere.

It means more power for them and less freedom for you.
Netflix's $83 billion takeover of Warner Bros Discovery would mean more corporate consolidation.

Netflix, by far the #1 streamer, would take over HBO Max, the #3 streaming service.

This giant merger could violate antitrust law and hurt consumers.

I can't stop thinking about the purported drug smugglers being murdered by the US military. The punishment for drug offenses isn't the death penalty. This is just bloodlust and men in suits playing with lives they don't care about. It's truly grotesque and gravely compromises this country.

Conclusion, industry could give two shits.
A UN Environment Programme satellite watches for super-emitter events of methane (the main component of natural gas and a fast/potent greenhouse gas) and alerts the people responsible. Out of 3,500+ alerts since 2022, UNEP "documented 25 cases of mitigation action."

That's a 0.7% action rate. 🤦
Better data driving action on methane emissions, but more work needed
Nairobi, 22 October 2025 – Government and industry responses to UNEP’s more than 3,500 satellite methane alerts climbed from one to 12 per cent in the past year. Nevertheless, action must accelerate t...

The bottom 90% lost a collective $79 trillion in wages over the past 50 years.

Why? Because the top 1% ate up an increasingly larger share of the national income — so that $79 trillion flowed to them instead of the working class.

The greatest trick of all is trickle-down economics.

Military leaders sat in an office for 42 minutes watching two men on the verge of drowning mid-ocean, clinging to wreckage, with no aid or ability to call for help. They sat there deciding whether to execute them, and then they did it.

Tom Cotton argues that murder is "righteous", because of course he does.
He's on record in violation of the US Constitution he's sworn to protect! MAGA Republicans are not committed to the Rule of Law, enhancing our welfare, or addressing Corporate greed & their indifference to our safety. They legislate to protect profits.

Tom Cotton Says U.S. Strikes On Alleged Drug Boat Were ‘Righteous’

Egg producers suspect bird flu is traveling through the air.

After a disastrous Midwestern outbreak early this year, we tested that theory and found that where the wind blew, the virus followed.

Vaccines could help, but the USDA hasn’t approved them.

When the rich have finally succeeded in destroying the middle class, they're going to realize that the rich alone won't support the economy, then they will finally have to pay their fair share to support the government. Of course, by then, they'll own the government.
When buying a house is unattainable and jobs are disappearing, it's no surprise young people think they can’t succeed, especially young men.

It's not their fault. It’s Washington’s fault for allowing the middle class to be hollowed out just to make rich people richer.

Trump rails against perceived election fraud while lobbying for the release of someone convicted of election fraud. Yeah, that tracks.
If an elderly cancer survivor didn’t want to spend 9 years in prison, because that would terrible and not worth the risk, she shouldn’t have committed four felony counts of election fraud…

I'm living proof that Leavitt's full of shit.
Leavitt’s citizenship comments clash with SCOTUS

Karoline Leavitt: “You’re either a U.S. citizen or not — You can’t be a U.S. citizen & a citizen of another country.”

The Supreme Court: It ruled in 1967 that the government can’t strip U.S. citizenship unless a person voluntarily relinquishes it.

"forcibly transferred or deported"
Kidnapping is the word you're looking for there.
The United States joined 90 other countries at the United Nations on Wednesday to demand Russia "ensure the immediate, safe and unconditional return of all Ukrainian children who have been forcibly transferred or deported" and urge Moscow to stop the practice.

This admiral may be Hegseth's scapegoat, but he's also guilty as hell. At best, Hegseth gave the order. But this guy carried it out, know full well that it was illegal.

Current US Policy:

If you’re suspected of trafficking a small amount of drugs with no evidence, we will murder you, but if you’re convicted of trafficking an enormous amount of drugs with copious evidence, we will pardon you. Because we are currently a very stupid country.
