The greed and the willingness just to cheat people out of every penny they can grab is a signal aspect of American capitalism.
They got caught. They’re backing down. But this isn’t over.

There needs to be a class action lawsuit.

Instacart admitted it was using AI to charge different people different prices for the exact same items. Algorithmic price gouging. That scam could cost a family of four $1,200 more a year.

BREAKING: The Trump-Vance admin bans abortion care and counseling for veterans in secret.

The VA now has the most extreme abortion restriction across federal agencies’ health care programs.

Veterans deserve the freedom to make their own health care choices. We're nowhere near done fighting.

DOJ briefly uploaded this letter from Jeff Epstein to serial child molester Larry Nassar:

"Our president shares our love of young, nubile girls. When a young beauty walked by he loved to 'grab snatch,' whereas we ended up snatching grub in the mess halls of the system."

Interesting 180° difference in how the Illinois AG handles wage theft versus, say, “organized retail theft,” which includes a multi-agency “task force,” $5 million per year to cops for spy tools, a PR machine, & tons of low-level arrests for property crimes, while biz owners stiff workers & walk.
We observed lawyers from the Illinois Attorney General’s Office who showed up to wage theft court hearings unprepared. Since 1993, more than 300 cases were initially dismissed because no one from the Attorney General’s Office showed up at all. (with @crainschicago.bsky.social) buff.ly/WJHXcax

This isn’t “just border security.” It’s DNA surveillance. Reports show DHS/CBP have collected DNA from migrants, including children, and uploaded profiles into the FBI’s criminal DNA database (CODIS).
