Call me crazy, but both can be true: the Shah of Iran was awful (a Western oil puppet) AND today’s Iranian regime is awful. Thousands of civilians dead in days, yet little outrage. This isn’t a zero-sum game. Iran and Israel are both dangerous fundamentalist states guilty of mass murder.

Jerome Powell describing DOJ pressure on the Federal Reserve should stop us cold. When law enforcement is used to intimidate an independent central bank, you don’t get “accountability,” you get instability, market fear, and democratic erosion. This is very dangerous.👇

Billionaires building survival compounds aren't paranoid. They're reading the same publicly available data you are - climate models, resource projections, inequality trends. And rather than using their almost infinite resources to help, their choice is bunkers, not solutions.

Freddie Mac and Fannie Mae are lowering credit requirements to reach subprime borrowers again. Last time we tried this, the housing market collapsed, we bailed out the banks with taxpayer money, and exactly zero executives went to jail. But I’m sure it’ll be different this time.

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.

The unsurprising reality of trickle-down: Academic research tells a clear story: A 2020 LSE study analyzed 50 years across 18 countries and found tax cuts for the rich had ZERO effect on GDP or employment - all it does is increase inequality. No peer-reviewed studies show it works. Zero.

10 fund raising emails from different Democrat candidates or funding groups. Not a single one of them mentions a single policy. All are just "we're not Trump, how much $$ can you give us?" It's such a poor effort. It's almost like they stand for nothing and are just saying "We want a turn to grift"

Starbucks CEO: 'Employees do their best work together in the office. Return to office 4 days/week.' Also Starbucks CEO: Built himself an office including a $14K espresso machine next to his mansion, commutes via private jet when he bothers showing up. Makes 6,000 x what baristas make. Very together

Bribery: illegal. Lobbying: legal. The difference? Bribery skips the middleman. Lobbying uses campaign donations, PACs, consulting fees, and speaking engagements. Same money, same outcome, better lawyers. The system isn't broken. It's working exactly as designed.

During the campaign Trump told the oil corporation leaders in a private meeting that if they gave him $1 billion dollars he'd do anything for them. Now we're knocking on the door for war with Venezuela. I don't consider this a coincidence.
