DISH Network
Metlife
Dominion Energy
United States Steel
In recent years, they all paid their execs more than they paid in taxes.
This is what a corporate-rigged system looks like.

I don’t normally repost stuff with swear words in it, but this one is on the nose.
If you’re more upset about Democrats reminding members of the military NOT to commit war crimes than you are about Republicans using the military TO commit war crimes, then congratulations, because you are an idiot, an asshole, and you’re in a fucking cult.

Just watching GOP leaders talk about when they’ll have a healthcare plan. They each seem to think that #others of them have a concept of a plan. This tells me that none of them even have a concept of a plan.

Migration numbers have cratered – yet still Reform and much of the media act every day like migration is a huge "crisis".
The reality, if you look at OBR figures, is that migration brings measurable economic growth – and the lack of it brings economic stagnation.

That’s a fall from 649,000 in the year to June 2024. It is a drop of nearly 80% from its 2023 peak.

Whether this was random street crime or targeted political violence, I think it was bad for the president to unnecessarily put the National Guard in harm’s way like this. They simply don’t need to be there.

1/5 Why do we still allow Trump to negotiate on the war in Ukraine?
The US does not fund Ukraine. Trump and his team are compromised by Russia.
Europe pays the bills, yet Trump sits at the table.
There is zero reason for him and his team of traitors to be involved
