The amount of Amazon workers relying on SNAP and Medicaid has nearly tripled since 2020 — while Amazon’s annual profits soared by over 550%. It’s the same story everywhere: corporate profits are at record highs, while workers’ share of the economy is at a record low. We must unrig the system.

Today I saw the new 4 hour documentary Musk, directed by Alex Gibney. There were too many times to count that a sold out theater burst out laughing at Elon Musk, something he said or did, even sometimes just how he looked. I believe that is his worst nightmare come to life.

The families care not at all about this irrelevant ruling which affects only two of the 19 claims they all share. Jones still faces over a billion dollars of liability, so this changes absolutely nothing. All it does is highlight the absurdity of Texas law. www.theguardian.com/us-news/2026...

There are going to be Democrats who say we shouldn’t rip it all out — it’s already built, we have other priorities — but removing the visible signs of Trumpism is absolutely necessary.

Ohio Republican Vivek Ramaswamy hired his mother to manipulate clinical trial data for an Alzheimer's drug he owned the rights to, which he used to inflate its stock price and cash out before the stock tanked. But his opponent is a Democrat. Our rating: Lean Republican.

It pisses me off that the message here is you can fail so badly you have to lay off 40% of your staff, then say "It's because AI!" And then the market rewards you.ale.Jack SHOW how AI is really replacing people, because I be the real story is his business is failing and poorly run.

This would be a great question to pose to the White House. If you believe that federal officers can kill individuals who disobey their orders, does that mean you think the Capitol Police should have opened fire on January 6th? Do you think Ashli Babbitt deserved to die and others should have too?

1. Show up. Go to the places Musk is taking over, bring cameras, demand to find out what's going on and where it breaks the law. 2. Refuse to allow standard business to continue unimpeded. Deny unanimous consent, delay votes, etc. 3. Be public about how illegal all of this is 4. Lay out a plan

The SCOTUS piece is the one that irks me most because court reform was a genuine live issue at the start of Biden’s term. They forced it into a study group to ice everyone, and then did absolutely nothing on its recommendation. But now we get the bully pulpit for term limits and ethics reform.

🧵 How do we know Trump is full of sh** when he shrieks about “hydrants running dry”? Because in 2016, a horrendous wildfire hit Gatlinburg Tennessee. Hydrants ran dry and 14 people died. A higher death toll than the LA Fires. But Tennessee had a GOP governor, so newly-elected Trump posted:
Excerpt from Wikipedia:

“President-elect Donald Trump
tweeted: "My thoughts and prayers are with the great people of Tennessee during these terrible wildfires. Stay safe!"[24][25]”
