In Trump's first term, it was common to hear people say, "Why would he do [corrupt thing]? He's already rich, he doesn't need more money." Now, just a few years later, the idea that rich people would ever be satisfied with any amount of money seems absurd.

Tyson is one of just a few companies that controls the entire meat market.
Just last month, it paid $85M to settle charges it illegally conspired with other meatpackers to raise pork prices.
Corporate monopolies are great for executives and a raw deal for everyone else.

Tyson CEO Donnie King made $22.7 million last year.
The week before Thanksgiving, he told 3,200 workers in Lexington, Nebraska that they're losing their jobs.

He betrayed his oath as a doctor and voluntarily supported a man whose insane policies will kill children, all for the sake of power, MAGA, and politics.

He should already be in prison for the treason he committed during his first term, but now we can add human rights abuses and war crimes to the charges.

all of these journalists and lazy narcissists who don't give a shit about the truth - their only wish is to be on television. in their minds i imagine they are the tom brokaw's, dan rather's, et al. it's a bit pathetic.
It’s their standard move and also the easiest thing in the world to disprove, so you’ve got to assume any interviewer who doesn’t correct them is pulling for Trump
I *hate* that interviewers have given up on even gentle pushback when Trump's people confidently assert that they inherited "an absolute economic mess" and therefore had no choice but to set about restructuring the entire U.S. economy

Welker: Do you think that Trump is a fascist?
Mamdani: That’s something that I’ve said in the past. I say it today.
Welker: You’ve called him a despot. Do you still believe Trump is a threat to the democracy?
Mamdani: Everything that I’ve said in the past, I continue to believe.

My most alienating Oscar opinion of the year is that Wicked pt deux is not a sequel but the simultaneously shot second half of one movie and that therefore it'd be weird to renominate the two stars. This isn't the Emmys; you don't get rewarded for the same role year after year. Will delete shortly.

If you’re a journalist who’s still on Twitter, from now on in your writing you have to replace “the American people want” with “troll bots in Eastern Europe demand”
Being there makes your judgment suspect. I don’t care how savvy you think you are, you’re marinating in a disinformation campaign.

Our campaign was anchored in the voices of struggling New Yorkers. Yesterday, we brought those voices straight to the Oval Office. We made clear that housing, safety, and lower costs are what New Yorkers need and what our administration will deliver.
