OBAMA: It's fair to say that 80% of the world's problems involve old men hanging on who are afraid of death and insignificance, and they won't let go. They build pyramids, and they put their names on everything. They get very anxious about it.

Sae Joon Park left for South Korea on Monday. His removal order was the result of drug possession and bail jumping charges from over 15 years ago — offenses that, he said, stemmed from untreated PTSD.

What a line from Warren Buffett this morning:

“Be kind, and the world is better off. I'm not sure that the world will be better off if I'm richer."

Please highlight this story.

ICE stormed into the wrong house, trashed the place, and made women/girls stand outside in the rain in their underwear. ICE also stole phones, laptops, and cash savings from the family, who moved to OKC two weeks ago.

The richest 0.1% of Americans control $22 trillion in wealth.

The bottom 50% control $3.8 trillion in wealth.

Read that back.

Folks, this is what oligarchy looks like.

My son is autistic.

He plays baseball every Saturday starting in May. He writes poems and stories. He uses a toilet just fine. And he'd take Robert Kennedy's silver spoon and jam it right up his unqualified, condescending ass if given the chance.
The full quote from RFK, Jr. is truly disgusting and this is 100% him calling for institutionalization of autistic people. This is horrifying.

Your potential, the absolute best you’re capable of—that’s the metric to measure yourself against. Your standards are. Winning is not enough. People can get lucky and win. People can be assholes and win. Anyone can win. But not everyone is the best possible version of themselves.

Trump and Musk are going after Social Security, Medicaid, the VA, and public education.

In what universe, in what world, in what religion is it morally acceptable to cut programs for hungry children in order to reward the wealthy?

Donald Trump loves to talk. But last night he avoided talking about his own real actions.

He avoided talking about his Medicaid cuts.

He avoided talking about Musk firing thousands of veterans.

He avoided talking about his tax cuts for billionaires.

We will make sure Americans know the truth.

Canadian MP Charlie Angus: Donald, what, you had to bring a guy from the Russian state media in to watch you try and beat up Zelenskyy—and you thought that would make you look good? It made you look like the crook you are. Zelenskyy is a man that you will never be; he’s a genuine hero.

DOGE: Fake Savings

Elon’s DOGE keeps claiming savings and taking credit for canceling contracts that ended years ago.

🔘 Canceled a 2005 Coast Guard contract—but it ended two decades ago. Claimed $53.7M in “savings.”

🔘 Canceled a $14M contract that ended in 2021.

This isn’t savings—it’s fraud.
