This is what it's all about. Republicans are making it easier for their rich friends and donors to cheat on their taxes while the rest of us pay.

They Crashed the Economy in 2008. Now They’re Back and Bigger Than Ever.
Wall Street expects to sell more than $335 billion in asset-backed debt this year. Remember that conference in ‘The Big Short’? It just drew a record 10,000.

For the moment, I’m going to keep reading the Post — the news pages, anyway, for the same reason I read the WSJ news pages. I will not blame anyone if they choose not to.

In the meantime I will point out that NPR/PBS and your local stations only answer ultimately to the public. Support them.

Here is a 2018 conversation between Jeff Bezos and German publisher Matthias Döpfner at a Business Insider event. Presumably, he is as crimson as a Washington State cherry today:

Stop giving your attention and money to the mainstream media and start supporting alternatives like:

Democracy Docket
The Contrarian
Meidas Touch

Please put other alternatives you like in the comments. Let’s build a great list of resources we can trust.

Nothing about kids dying from measles is normal. Anti-vaxxers like RFK Jr. and the Republicans who enable them are responsible for every single one of these deaths.

Trump's FBI pick Kash Patel just disclosed holding $800,000 worth of stock in Trump Media & Technology Group.

Reminder that Patel also has compiled an "enemies" list that is identical to Trump's.

Does anyone actually believe he won't be a loyal cog in Trump's vengeance machine?

Banks, payday lenders, and credit card companies can now scam Americans with zero consequences because there is no longer a functioning agency to hold Wall Street accountable. This is a coup and your Members of Congress need to hear from you: indivisible.org/coup?source=...

First foray into public post bypass surgery.

Blood sugar dropped but was able to level it out with M&Ms.

Felt good to walk around H.E.B.
