Saying there are “too many non-working holidays” on Juneteenth is so on brand for a man who is actively trying to erase Black history.
This from the same man who’s wasted over $26 million in taxpayer dollars and spent more than 30 days golfing since January 20, 2025? Please.

Wild how the Fed chair saying that *entire regions of the United States* won’t be able to get a mortgage in the next decade barely registered as a news event

I signed the final bills Melissa Hortman shepherded through the most narrowly divided legislature in the county. All of them bipartisan.
We debated, we found common ground, and we compromised.
That’s how democracy should function.

Last year, Kroger's CEO raked in $15.4 million — 457x more than its typical employee. Kroger also announced $7.5 billion in stock buybacks.
I don't want to hear that Kroger can't afford to treat its employees fairly.
Solidarity to these workers.

Kroger has shut down four Colorado locations as grocery strike begins.
The UFCW just launched these initial walk outs, but the strike could grow dramatically and spread across multiple strikes.
Over 100,000 supermarket workers have authorized strikes across the West and PNW.

Every flashbang could instead be a meal for a poor kid. Every hotel room for a National Guardsman deployed to fire at our neighbors could house a homeless vet. Every "less-than-lethal" bullet pulled from a journalist's eye could be already needed healthcare for anyone else. All of this is a choice.

That any of us have to care about the messy breakup of these two massive narcissists — and that they both individually wield such massive power — is an indictment of our political system and further proves the poisonous influence of Big Money on our democracy.
