Together we can handle the flood of BS coming our way. Let's not be easy prey. Let's not panic.

Chicago is NOT having it! Thousands took to the street yesterday in response to the orange overlord’s threats to our city. Today, hundreds showed up in Downers Grove, a nearby burb, when we found out ICE is staying at the Hampton Inn here. We will not be afraid & we will defend our neighbors!

I’ve spent a good chunk of my career relying on American science and engineering to keep me alive. Yesterday, RFK Jr. testified at the U.S. Senate Finance Committee. It was sad to see him try to destroy the life’s work of so many American scientists. He shouldn’t be in this job.

It’s always great to see the orange felon being booed everywhere he goes, especially when the boos are thunderous like those he received at the US Open men’s final in New York. He should be in jail, not watching tennis whilst destroying the country.

He always says the women are lying and it’s all a hoax. When are people going to realize that he’s the liar perpetrating a hoax by saying he’s telling the truth?

No one is covering the threats to democracy better than the 20-person team at Democracy Docket. No venture capital, no corporate overloads, no compromises. Just pro-democracy news, information and analysis.

Help support their efforts to hold power to account and keep you informed. hubs.ly/Q03jcjqP0

Walmart spent $35.3B on stock buybacks from 2019 to 2024, enough to give each of its 2.2M employees annual bonuses of $2,719.

Last year, Walmart CEO Doug McMillon pocketed $27.4M — 930x the company's median employee pay of just $29,469.

Textbook corporate greed.

More evidence that the MAGA governors are fascist. The MAGA Party is an extremist cult of backward zombies with no original thoughts. They are as deranged as Trump.

I wish more politicians understood how the economy is rigged against regular people the way Bill Burr does.
