U.S. military spending is set to hit a record $1 trillion.
Roughly half of defense spending goes to private contractors that routinely price-gouge the government.
Meanwhile, the Pentagon has failed seven straight audits.
This is the military industrial complex on steroids.

Increase in productivity since 1979: 87%
Increase in hourly pay since 1979: 32%
Just so happens that ~25% of workers were unionized in 1979. Today? 10%.
As unions declined, the super-rich have taken a larger share of wealth generated by labor. We must build back union power.

Three years and one month from today, I’m going to grab a pickax and pull those letters off that building, but I’m going to need help holding the ladder. Are you in? Applying for my carpenter’s card today, so it’ll be a union job!!!

Jack Smith has requested that Jim Jordan release the entire video of his 8-hour closed-door testimony which he gave this week to the House Judiciary Committee.
Will Jordan release the video to the public?
If not, why not?

Apparently JD Vance’s team ran over and nearly killed a police officer? While they were on their way to a fundraiser? And it’s receiving barely any national coverage?

Because safe food is communism.
Government funding bill cuts food safety regulations. See the provisions for yourself
The bill prohibited the FDA from enforcing regulations aimed at increasing traceability of the supply chain, among other rules.

When Kaiser’s CEO is taking home nearly $14 million, it’s clear the resources are there. What’s missing is the commitment to invest in the healthcare workers who make patient care possible. bsky.app/profile/ofnh...
Greg Adams made $13.8 million in 2022.
Kaiser can afford to pay frontline healthcare workers the competitive wages needed to recruit and retain skilled staff, AND deliver the safe, quality care patients deserve.

After months of denying tariffs were raising prices, Trump is now rolling them back because families are feeling the squeeze. This reporting makes it clear: his trade agenda drove up costs on everyday essentials while delivering little for working people. www.washingtonpost.com/business/202...
Trump goes on defense over tariffs as prices on everyday items keep rising
The rollback of import taxes on coffee, bananas and many other foods is the latest sign that the administration could be forced to shift course.

It would’ve been nice if Greene had realized this before she amplified and endorsed calls for executing Nancy Pelosi and Barack Obama.

Amazon announced 14,000 layoffs. Its CEO made over $40M last year.
UPS announced 48,000 layoffs. Its CEO made over $24M last year.
Intel announced 20,000 layoffs. Its new CEO's pay package is valued at nearly $69M.
This is what I mean when I say the system is rigged.

So they haven’t caught the guy and you don’t have a ton of leads? Maybe sending all your federal law enforcement agents to help ICE and dismantling the JTTF and firing the head FBI field office for political reasons wasn’t the best idea.
