Proof that corporations control USA? Tech companies are going full-speed ahead w/AI data centers w/little or no oversight--despite their voracious use of electricity & water & destruction of millions of jobs.

If your Democratic Rep or Senator is too busy condemning socialism and not working towards lowering your housing costs, utilities, or working towards Medicare for all.. They're not working for you. They're working for large corporations and billionaires.

Fuck these arrogant millionaires who have the gall to tell ordinary Americans upset about high food prices that they should just substitute lower-quality generic food and quit complaining.
Hassett: "On one of the Sunday shows, the anchor criticized the fact Walmart said the Thanksgiving dinner is cheaper by about $10. Then he said, 'Oh yeah, but they substituted generic stuff,' as if having a generic something is a crime for ordinary folks! It shows how out of touch these people are."

Yup. Like when Trumpolini met with Russians in the Oval Office with Russian officials, with NO Americans present (not even a translator!).
There is a reason why Witkoff did not want any officials with the State Dept or anyone else present during his many meetings w/Putin - he didn’t want witnesses to his treasonous behavior. Highly unusual, but makes perfect sense when you consider that he only cared about Russia.

This is wrong, this is stupid, this is 💯 political, this is illegal, and there’s ZERO reason for this. National Guard troops have lives, jobs & families. This is an absolute waste of their time. Trump is using them to try to score political points. Just terrible.👇

Trump has repeatedly claimed that gas prices have fallen, are at $2 per gallon, and are the lowest in two decades. Not surprisingly, he’s lying. The national average for regular gas stands at $3.055 today, almost exactly the same as $3.056 a year ago under President Biden, according to AAA. ⛽️

Trump sees himself as mediator, bringing conflicts to an end by coercing the parties to "make a deal". But, in reality, as the so-called Ukraine peace plan demonstrates, he's actually the head negotiator for one party, trying to force the other party 2 agree. Then, he'll act surprised when it fails.

It's kind of pathetic--albeit true--that fascists would succeed in America if they were not also so incompetent. De-politicized populations make bad choices.
We are in a really bad place but things would be much worse if any of these people were competent. I thank the universe for that every day.

We had a war to stop fascism. Then we had post-war trials to make it clear that "just following orders" was no excuse. Trump and Hegseth are taking the side of the death camp guards.

If Department of Government Efficiency (DOGE) uncovered “billions in waste, fraud, and abuse” why haven’t any U.S. criminal charges followed? No courtroom convictions, no DOJ indictments—just billions claimed as ‘savings.’ Taxpayers deserve answers.

Tyson is closing a Nebraska plant that employs 3,200 workers in order to “right-size” its business.
The meatpacking giant paid its CEO $22.7M last year, 525x its median employee's pay.
It also spent $196M in stock buybacks to reward shareholders.
Textbook corporate greed.

Why does Trump keep appointing officials on an interim basis only? Because he doesn't want Congressional scrutiny of his unqualified & incompetent candidates; he's undermining the very concept of oversight. His autocratic style just bit him on the ass in the Comey/James cases.
