What I always hear: “We can’t afford to pay our workers more than $15 an hour.”
What I never hear: “We can’t afford to pay our CEO millions of dollars a year.”
Funny how that works.

I would call Pete Hegseth a war criminal, but we aren’t at war. He’s just a mass murderer.

FRFR, because refusing to seat a duly-elected member of Congress is anti-democratic and a species of election interference.
This lawsuit, which demands that the House of Representatives finally seat Rep. Adelita Grijalva, has, um, fairly major implications for our democracy's survival in 2026 and beyond. storage.courtlistener.com/recap/gov.us...

Now we are up to $40 billion for Argentina. Can anyone stop Bessent from unilaterally sending unlimited amounts of our money to South America? And Republicans won’t even negotiate with the Democrats on health care for Americans. Where is Congress?

From her lifetime of pioneering work with chimpanzees to her
tireless advocacy for the environment...
Jane Goodall was a one-of-a-kind treasure to the world!
I was lucky enough to be able to thank her personally when our paths crossed not long ago.
Thanks again, Ms. Goodall. You will be missed. ♥️

Yesterday people asked why Nexstar and Sinclair caved. The answer is simple: those who tracked which companies were advertising with them made a huge impact. Thanks to those calls, companies began pulling their ad budgets over the Kimmel blackout.
