After buying it for $18.8 billion, Walgreens' new private equity owner has eliminated paid holidays for all hourly workers on Christmas and New Year's.

Last year, Walgreens had a CEO-to-Worker pay gap of 410 to 1.

Corporate greed that would make even Scrooge blush.

The Trump Ballroom is now costing $400 Million. Where's the money? Where is the "transparency". Republicans are selling tickets to the White House. This is ending our democracy.

The Kansas City Chiefs are relocating from Missouri to Kansas and getting a new $3 billion stadium.

60 percent of it will be publicly funded — despite the owners boasting a nearly $25 billion net worth.

This isn't the first stadium scam we've seen recently...

If you still support Trump, I don’t judge you for your choice of political party.

I judge you for your lack of morals, ethics, compassion & humanity.

I judge you for your support of pedophilia, racism, treason & fascism.

So will others. So will history.

I am furious that DOJ ignored the new federal law requiring release of the Epstein Files. I am equally angry that so many in legacy media seem not to care.

What do these corporations all have in common?

-Lockheed Martin
-Palantir
-Microsoft
-Amazon
-Comcast
-Google
-Apple
-Meta
-HP
-Nvidia
-T-Mobile

They all have lucrative government contracts — and they're all donors to Trump's $400M ballroom.

Many, Many More Republicans are in the Epstein Files than Democrats. They are easy to spot as they disagree with the Release of the Epstein Files. David Brooks uses his position to Prevent the Release of the TRUTH. He should be Fired immediately as his writings are Shaded with Untruths. 🙏🙏👏👏👍👊⚖️🇺🇸😎

HUGE NEWS from the new Epstein files:

Records show that Maria Farmer, who worked for Epstein, filed a "child pornography" report to the FBI in 1996.

The FBI has never before acknowledged that complaint. The case went nowhere, and mass abuse followed.

The White House claims the vote to rename the Kennedy Center was “unanimous.” That is false. I was muted on the call and denied the opportunity to speak or register my opposition. That is not consensus. That is censorship.

Remember how I said I have it written into my foreign-language contracts that my work has to be translated by an actual human? This shit is why.

Those book translations are gonna suck. They'll save money putting out books that are going to be painful to read. That's not a great long-term strategy.
French publishing house Harlequin decided to use AI translation instead of human translations.

All their freelance translators (some of whom had been working with Harlequin for +30y!!!) were told they would no longer receive work from Harlequin

I assume Trump plans to declare war against Venezuela tonight.

All this to hide from the Epstein Files, and to expand his business interests in another country to gain access to oil.

It's not about the drug cartels.

BREAKING: The House of Representatives just passed a bill that would subject immigrant children to invasive bodily searches and keep them in detention instead of releasing them to their families.

The Senate must vote no on this horrific bill.

One way that the reaction to Rob Reiner's murder mirrors Charlie Kirk's is that the best way to eulogize each of them is to quote their words, and in both cases, doing so pisses off conservatives.
