The Chamber of Commerce, not the little local consumer protection groups but the big lobbying organization for giant corporations, is looking for a "Director, Writer and Storyteller" to try to persuade us that capitalism helps everyone.

Marjorie Taylor Greene's resigning in time to get a pension is a lesson to everyone.

Most Americans don't get *any* pension anymore, but Congress gave itself a pension after only five years of work.

Our "representatives" aren't working for us, they are [barely] working for themselves.

NEW: Trump DOJ once again BUSTED for yet another lie told to a federal judge, this time in Kilmar Abrego Garcia’s cases:

DOJ told Judge Xinis Costa Rica wouldn’t take Abrego Garcia & instead he has to be deported to Liberia, with which he has no ties at all.

Turns out, it’s a LIE.

Impeachment isn’t an option, it’s a necessity. I know firsthand the lengths Trump is willing to go in order to silence dissent.

Impeach, convict, remove. And if our current leaders won’t do it, they need to step aside for people who will: www.youtube.com/watch?v=jo54...

Every time I listen to Trump, Bessent or Lutnick talk about economic conditions, it is always completely obvious how utterly disconnected they are from the everyday struggles the average American working family is dealing with right now. They simply can’t relate to normal people.

Trump’s Angry

Donald Trump is cratering in new polls. Marist survey has his overall approval at 39% & Marquette has his approval plunging on economy (36–64), tariffs (37–63), & inflation (28–72). Trump’s inflation rants grow more unhinged while economists worry the bottom might be about to fall out

Everything in Trump's russian plan —undoubtedly also a corruption pact—is disgraceful, rotten, and unacceptable.
But I would like European leaders to show much more indignation about one thing in particular: it absolves the russians of their crimes—a full betrayal of Nuremberg's legacy.

There are going to be prominent Democrats and mainstream media voices who insist that we have to "turn the page" and "forgive and forget" and they should all be roundly ignored, if not mercilessly mocked.
It’s crazy to think about the crimes we’re going to learn about after this regime ends.

We’re already hearing about Watergate level crimes every week. Imagine what will come out after it’s over.

We’re going to need a full accounting of all that’s been done in violation of the constitution.
