Private equity firms have reportedly flooded the airplane maintenance industry over the last five years. These are the same shady investors who have fueled the housing crisis and strip-mined our healthcare system.  What could go possibly go wrong?

This One Thing Is Making Your Life More Expensive | Robert Reich
Private equity is shutting out millions of people from buying their own homes. In 2021, private equity investors bought nearly 1 in 7 homes in top metro areas. This is essentially a direct transfer of wealth from the working class into the pockets of private equity managers. Watch More: You Are Being Lied to About Inflation ►► https://youtu.be/Zi4KMCQuQYE

Republicans used to say “undocumented immigrants don’t pay taxes.” Now the IRS is handing their tax data to DHS… So which is it? Seems like you’d have to pay taxes to even have tax data…

US IRS chief to quit over deal to share data with immigration officials, report says
The acting head of the U.S. Internal Revenue Service plans to resign over a new agreement to share the tax data of undocumented immigrants with Homeland Security personnel, the Washington Post reported on Tuesday, citing two people familiar with the situation.

He has never acted rationally. But rational people kept constructing rational edifices to explain his behavior.

"I was worried the turnout would be mediocre. But as the Metro approached Smithsonian station, the number of people boarding the train stunned me. Then, I was overwhelmed by the sight of tens of thousands of people proceeding toward the Washington Monument..." www.washingtonpost.com/opinions/202...

@morningjoe-msnbc.bsky.social Instead they will do it more slowly like twisting the knife… The leverage we had with a shutdown was their own base pressuring Repubs to reopen… leave SSA alone as well as Medicaid… the minute they felt the impact… they just haven’t felt it yet!

@morningjoe-msnbc.bsky.social Totally disagree on Schumer s cowardly decision… Trump played him… he fell for it… Newflash: Trump & Elon are going to do exactly what they want no matter…& they have… Shutdown would have brought immediate massive protest force Repubs to reopen…

@anandwrites.bsky.social totally agree with your assessment of Jeffries on Rachel last night… I’m a very disgruntled 74 year old & was totally disappointed… Dems insist on playing by the rules while MAGA breaks them every day. In fact, Repubs haven’t played by the rules since the days of Reagan!!!😡

@joe-scarborough.bsky.social I cringe each time I hear that we are a “50-50” nation! No, we are not! 64% of eligible voters voted, DJT got49%… they be less than 32% of eligible voters…assuming the 36% who did not vote or had their vote suppressed are also split 50-50…. I doubt it!!!

Well, damn, just rewatched Tulsa King to refresh for 2nd season! NOPE! Never thought Sly would be a MAGA! Here’s a list. Some I knew were. Some I don’t know the the F they are. Surprise. Dennis & Randy Quaid, did love Dennis, Danica Patrick… 🤦🏻‍♀️ Will not stream anything with any MAGA. No royalties!
