CEO pay has increased 1,094% since 1978.
Worker pay? 24%.
That's not a market problem. That's a power problem.

GOP operatives Jacob Wohl and Jack Burkman, convicted election fraudsters, were paid $960,000 in the second quarter to secure a pardon for a former nursing-home operator who defrauded the government of $38 million. Trump pardoned the man, Joseph Schwartz, last month.

All of these bootlegged copies of the 60 Minutes segment flooding my feed (saying, ‘Watch it quick! Before it disappears!’) makes me feel like I’m in the Soviet Union and just got some black market foreign newspaper I need to hide under a floorboard in my house.

The rate of return here is crazy: for a few hundred thousand dollars, this lab produces literally billions of oysters and supports a seafood industry worth hundreds of millions. And the Trump administration is just like "fuck all that, it's wasteful spending, you're fired"

Thank you for flooding the phone lines. Though we barely missed peeling off enough Republicans to check the regime’s lawless violence, it’s clear that the American people do not want war with Venezuela.

Nearly all weather, climate, & natural hazard research involves NCAR in some way-either directly (as is the case with countless affiliated scientists at universities or elsewhere) or indirectly (through use of NCAR's irreplaceable community datasets, predictive models, or its computing facilities).

NCAR is quite literally our global mothership.
Everyone who works in climate and weather has passed through its doors and benefited from its incredible resources.
Dismantling NCAR is like taking a sledgehammer to the keystone holding up our scientific understanding of the planet.
Unbelievable.

As Kagan notes, SCOTUS has given states a cheat code to enact illegally racist voting laws: just pass them close enough to an election that the Purcell principle will bar judicial review!
Under this logic, courts couldn’t block actual Jim Crow laws within a year of an election. It can’t be right.

I just received 5 of my cardiac meds from Mark Cuban Cost Plus Pharmacy. The cost with shipping and without insurance was $43.00. With insurance at a “preferred“ pharmacy would have been 3X that. Doesn’t seem pointless to me.

Trump's overt-the-top response to Kelly and others has helped elevate their status. I've no doubt that they now have more legitimate concerns about their safety, but they've shown how picking a fight with Trump is good politics.
