When Bezos changed the Washington Post's editorial board standards to align with “personal liberties and free markets,” he meant his own liberty to become even richer and more powerful, as the rest of America slides into worse economic insecurity and fear.
The Washington Post editorial board railed against a wealth tax without noting its owner, Jeff Bezos, stands to benefit more from its tax policy prescriptions than nearly anyone else on the planet.

Pastor Black: While I was in the middle of using the words of Jesus, they opened fire on me. It was so clear that they had been so poorly trained, or — the alternative — that they had been deliberately told to escalate violence against peaceful protesters.

The right-wing Supreme Court majority has once again shredded its credibility by rubber-stamping a racially gerrymandered map in Texas.
Republicans know the extremists can only win by cheating.
The people of California and beyond will prevent that from happening.

The notion that costs are going down under Donald Trump is ludicrous. People aren’t stupid, they see their health care costs skyrocketing as 2026 premiums hit their mail boxes.

Donald Trump spent Thanksgiving with Jeffrey Epstein when Trump was already president and Epstein was already a convicted sex offender. The narrative that Trump cut off Epstein in the early 2000s is clearly false. We have the signatures, it’s time to #ReleaseTheEpsteinFiles

Trump's blanket pardons for Jan 6th rioters put violent criminals back on the streets and emboldened extremists.
For too long, Republicans have excused even Trump’s most grotesque behavior.
Every Republican should be condemning these pardons that directly led to threats to kill Leader Jeffries.

It wasn’t enough to give billions in bailouts to Argentina and screw over U.S. soybean farmers, now Trump is considering doing the same to cattle ranchers.
He doesn’t care about U.S. agriculture, just grifting opportunities with dictators.
