Pointing out the obvious: the objective of this effort is to degrade the capacity of USPS, and thereby degrade its performance, and thereby bolster arguments for privatization.
They want to kill public institutions, public goods, public spaces, the very notion of a public.

Zeldin says the mission of EPA is to "lower the cost of buying a car, heating a home and running a business." That is false, not as a matter of ideology or political preference, but as a matter of law.
This is pure authoritarian "up is down" stuff.

And people wonder if Russia really has kompramat that gives them control over him. The pee tapes are only the tip of the iceberg. Look at who his trusted advisors have been, and who he pardoned. Connect the dots.

Bird flu is decimating egg laying flocks. Huge populations of poultry are being destroyed. Eggs won’t be cheap again anytime soon. Nor will chicken. And cattle herds are now being culled as well. Time to go plant based.

The same as all the biggest corporations. Despite record profits, it’s wage earners and small business that carry all of the tax burden.
Tesla earned $2.3 billion in the United States in 2024.
You'd think it paid a lot in taxes, right?
Well it paid precisely $0 in federal income taxes last year.
You want waste and fraud? Look at what some big corporations and the rich are getting away with.

Mitch McConnell fell again and is obviously not well.
But he won't have to worry about medical bills or skipping tests because he has high-quality, government-funded healthcare — the thing he's fought to deny the rest of us.

Sen. Mitch McConnell fell for a second time today, which reminds me... America's descent into authoritarian fascism was easily preventable. All McConnell had to do was hold Trump accountable after his attempted coup to overthrow the U.S. government on January 6, 2021.
