Assuming every boat Trump and Hegseth blew up contained the amount of drugs they claim, Hernandez was responsible for bringing more drugs into the US than every one of them had combined. By far. And yet, Trump murders 80+ people and counting while pardoning the narco kingpin.

"If you look at job growth between January and September ... for the past 15 years, it's only been worse once, and that was during the pandemic ... It is the worst first nine months for the labor market in 15 years."

As Trump's Washington is now clearly Putin's most important ally, it is simply logical for all of the European countries holding frozen Russian $billions to seize that money & use it to fund Ukraine's continued defense & eventual reconstruction after Putin surrenders. Russia is losing this war...

Trump has decided to exempt coal used in steelmaking from Clean Air Act rules for the next two years. He issued a proclamation allowing coke oven facilities to sidestep existing limits on toxic emissions including mercury, formaldehyde, soot, and dioxins.

Your Black Friday reminder that in 75% of U.S. industries, a smaller number of companies now control more of the business than they did twenty years ago. We must stop the monopolization of America. Shop small if you can, please.

If you think it's expensive now, you haven't seen anything yet. Coffee and chocolate are going to become luxury goods as a result of climate change.
Coffee hasn't been this expensive in decades—see how much prices have risen since 1985 in one chart
Grocery-store coffee prices rose 41% in a year, a surge the U.S. hasn’t seen in decades.

The United States has 880 million acres of farmland, almost 40 percent of the total US acreage.

Not only that, advances have made farming more productive: from 1930 to 2000, hay yield per acre doubled, milk yield per cow tripled, and corn yield per acre quadrupled.

And yet we let people go hungry.

When a politician says: we’ll deregulate health insurance and send you a “freedom account” check, ask: freedom to buy what? If insurers don’t offer real policies or can cherry-pick only healthy people, that money is a coupon for a store that’s not open.

A country where the president can ask election officials to 'find' another 11,780 votes and not be prosecuted, while citizens are brutalized for exercising their constitutional rights is not a nation of laws.
THIS IS WHAT FASCISM LOOKS LIKE.

In London Town on family business today.

Nobody stole my watch.

Nobody tried to stab me.

Everyone I met was polite.

My Tube carriages weren’t graffitied.

Great city; great people.

Maybe people should stop listening to suburban London doomers posting for X money from degenerate Musk?

When asked about the death of a W. Virginia National Guardsman, the President of the United States bragged about his electoral margin in her state.

When asked about the shooter, he called the reporter a stupid person.

Please stop holding quarter for anyone supporting this monstrous piece of shit.

GUARDIAN: “Per head, 🇺🇸 output is six times China’s, and yet, inexplicably, there seem to be more abjectly poor Americans than Chinese. 🇺🇸 inequality is breathtaking… keeps getting worse…”

Wanting to address this isn’t radical.

NOT wanting to is.

Donald Trump illegally deployed them and what was reported yesterday was that "they" had the opportunity to cut the tour short and go home before Thanksgiving, but chose to remain until the end of the year. The gunman pulled the trigger, but if it wasn't for Trump, they wouldn't have been there...
