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.

Comey: "I'm grateful the court ended the case against me, which was a prosecution based on malevolence & incompetence... I was inspired by the career people who refused to be part of this travesty. It cost some of them their jobs, but it preserved their integrity, which is beyond price"

Speaking of illegal orders, the Comey and James cases have been tossed because the DOG illegally appointed Halligan. And is probably why the Pentagon now claims to be opening an investigation into Senator Kelly — to use an abuse of power in the military court system.

Fascism: Extreme and authoritarian nationalism, totalitarian state control over society and the economy, suppression of political opposition, and the glorification of a supreme leader. It promotes a hierarchical and often militarized view of society, rejecting liberal democracy.

Social democracy: within a democratic and capitalist system, it seeks to moderate economic and social inequalities through state intervention. It prioritizes the welfare state, labor protections, and wealth redistribution through progressive taxation, without abolishing private property.

Breaking News: Robert F. Kennedy Jr. said he personally instructed the CDC to abandon its position that vaccines do not cause autism. The move underscores his determination to challenge scientific orthodoxy — in this case, that vaccines save lives — and bend the health department to his will.

If your number one argument against Karoline Leavitt is something about her looks, I think you might want to consider reflecting on your thoughts about women, superficial facades and perhaps prioritize thinking about her lies, hypocrisy, secrecy, immorality and evasiveness.
