Perhaps there won’t be a smoking gun tying Trump to whatever is in the Epstein files. But there sure are a lot of warm shell casings lying around.

This is so important. When we fight for the people, we make a difference. For instance, the economy should reflect the priorities and values of the people. The economy should work for the benefit of the people, not the other way around.

Trump is crowing about getting Colbert off the air. Does that nitwit really want to deal with a Colbert unleashed from corporate minders? For a man who has never been careful about what he wished for, he’s really done it this time. Colbert will be fully freed in time for the midterms.

The Secret Service might want to change the locks on the WH. Even if they get that key from Musk, he probably made duplicates.

I hope Jeff Bezos is sitting down when he reads this. I wouldn’t want him to fall off his yacht. Well, on second thought . . .
Elon Musk threatens to decommission the Space X Dragon spacecraft after Donald Trump threatens his crooked contracts.
Space X also needs to be nationalized and turned over to NASA.

Who could have guessed that corporations would use tariffs as an opportunity to raise prices on their non-tariffed products???
Businesses are raising prices after tariffs, even on unaffected goods
This could be a sign that companies are using the new tariffs as an excuse to raise prices overall.

Absolutely brilliant excoriation of Americam racism - and some first class cookery along the way...
A Korean American woman shares her experience of living in America.
Being treated as a foreigner even though she was born in America.
Too many people viewed being ‘American’ through a monochromatic lens.

Xlon wants to make us dependent, obedient cash cows locked into whatever crappy service or product he controls. Anytime someone steps out of line (according to him) he’ll yank their chain and deny service or downgrade whatever crumbs he decides to leave them.
I spent most of the last year spelling out in detail how this was going to happen
they're going to redirect taxpayer money from a lot of locally-owned fiber ISPs (focused on service and affordability), and throw it at musk's expensive, ozone layer depleting, congested plagued satellite service

BREAKING: The head of the $42 billion federal BEAD program that aims to bring broadband internet to rural and unserved areas has left the Commerce Dept.

Truscott is always worth reading. In this post, he’s outlined the damage of Trump/Xlon meat axe cuts to foreign aid and outreach. Who benefits? Not our nation or its people. You can probably guess who. (Hint 🇷🇺 🇨🇳 🇰🇵 🇮🇷 🇭🇺)

I keep reading this story that's going around about a former KGB officer from Kazakhstan who wrote on Facebook that Trump was recruited as a Russian asset during a visit to Moscow in1987.
