“I think there are some people in the Cabinet because, to use the president's term, ‘they're right out of central casting.’ I think Noem and Hegseth are probably the poster children for men and women who should never have the authority they've been granted.” ~Republican Senator Tillis

Billionaire political spending was about $16 million in 2008. In 2026, it could reach $2–3 billion. Whatever your politics, that’s a staggering shift in who has the financial power to shape American elections.

Trump has been trying to "annihilate" Iran for some months now. He is learning that it is easier said than done and becoming politically untenable. He'll make a deal that is not as good as the one Obama made; but he will claim it is the greatest deal ever.

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.
