Jeff Bezos is the 2nd richest person in the world yet he's still a sad suck-up to Trump in order to protect his ability to exploit his workforce and make even more money. Greed and humiliation before pride and decency. That's the Bezos way.

Since Trump took office, @publiccitizen.bsky.social has tracked the admin's retreat from enforcement against corporate lawbreaking. Today, our new report documents the admin's cancellation of investigations, lawsuits, & penalties against more than *200* corporations. www.citizen.org/article/trum...

The fact Kara Swisher is now monetizing her critiques of Elon Musk after literally being foundational to his work and actively ignoring all the insane gross shit he was doing and saying for years to give the tech press the inspiration slop they wanted is part of why we're here.

MacFarlane: Fox is platforming Abdul El-sayed because it seems to do well for their ratings. It engages their audience. People on Fox seem to want to hear from him. It's not necessarily the case that they want to hear extemporaneous remarks at rallies right now from Trump.

Truly incredible that this is how the media is choosing to eulogize the longest-serving Republican Speaker of the House in US history, who was a serial sexual abuser of children. For all the talk about "deep state" plots to abuse children, no one even remembers this case.
From CBS News: "Former Speaker of the House Dennis Hastert, who represented Illinois for two decades in Congress and was later jailed for violating banking laws, has died."
