This is what is happening.
We spent a year investigating billionaires for @washingtonpost.com.

We found: the wealthiest 100 Americans gave $1.1 billion to influence the 2024 elections — 140x more than they did in 2000. And almost all of that giving boosted Republicans.

Australia has so much electricity from solar power that it is going to start offering free electricity to everyone for at least three hours during the day as the wholesale price of power goes negative

Australia's extensive solar power penetration makes so much energy that the government wants to offer free electricity at peak hours.

The more we see of nationwide results, the more yesterday feels like a referendum on Trump. One that he lost, badly.
NEW: Mississippi Democrats broke the Republican Party's supermajority in the state Senate tonight for the first time since 2011.

It came as Democrats flipped 2 Senate seats and 1 House seat.

“Mississippi just broke the supermajority—and the people have taken back their power,” the party says.

Walmart, McDonalds and Amazon are the largest employers of people who require SNAP assistance.

The CEOs earned between 18-40 million last year, 1000x their median employee income.

They took billions in profits, while their workers relied on SNAP to survive.

Wanna fix fraud and abuse?

Fix that.

BREAKING: Look at this.

A new crypto wallet was created Friday.

It literally started shorting the market, with Bitcoin & Etherum shorts, JUST BEFORE Trump posted about tariffs.

It last short was placed at 4:49 PM EST.

Trump posted at 4:50PM EST.

It made nearly $200 million in profits.

Unusual.

Is Comer suggesting the sick and elderly on medicaid leave their nursing homes and find a job? Are children on Medicaid suppose to drop out of school and get a job at a meat packing plant?
Comer: "We care about the people that are gonna lose -- ah, that could potentially lose healthcare. But there are people that can't afford healthcare. We've gotta get people off Medicaid and into the workforce and into private healthcare."

BECU advertises on Seattle’s KOMO, the local Sinclair station. I called BECU to state that unless they stop advertising on KOMO, I will close my accounts.
Well, there it is. Sinclair is digging in for a fight, so please help push back -- find stations in your area, watch their local news to see what ads they run, then write those advertisers to tell them you're boycotting as long as they're on a Sinclair station.

Boycott Disney parks and movies. Boycott companies who advertise on ABC.
CBS parent company Paramount canceled Colbert to win approval from Trump's FCC to merge with Skydance.

Now ABC parent company Disney suspends Kimmel as it seeks DOJ approval to buy Fubo — and its affiliate Nexstar seeks FCC approval to buy Tegna.

See how this works?

The 400 richest Americans are now worth a record $6.6 trillion, after getting $1.2 trillion richer over the past year alone.

Meanwhile, the rest of the country is getting squeezed by tariffs and high prices for groceries, utilities, and health care.

I bet human traffickers and drug smugglers are overjoyed with the government’s shift in focus to roofers, dishwashers and construction workers.
New numbers show ICE is devouring US law enforcement: 1 in 5 US marshals, 1 in 5 FBI agents, half of all DEA agents, and over two-thirds of all ATF agents are now assigned to ICE enforcement. These are agencies with critical jobs they're now NOT doing.

This is appalling. To make matters worse, the carried interest loophole results in a nurse at a looted hospital paying a higher tax rate than the multi millionaire private equity manager.
Private equity looted 3 Connecticut hospitals. Services cut, nurses buying their own supplies etc. They will do it to your hospital if we don't stop this trend right now.

After looting organizations such as hospitals and nursing homes, private equity takes advantage of the carried interest loophole. The nurse at a looted hospital pays a higher tax rate than the private equity manager.
the idea that every single industry needs to be a profit centre is literally insane
