Five corporations control 90% of the US media market. Airlines merged from 12 major carriers in 1980 to 4 today. Four giants control 80% of meat processing. The evidence of corporate consolidation is everywhere. It means more power for them and less freedom for you.

This is easily the saddest time in American history. The absolute worst people are systematically destroying the country, and our system is completely failing to stop them.

If you told me in 2021 after J6 that one day Trump would have a $1.776 billion slush fund of taxpayer $$ to hand out to his fellow insurrectionists who committed a heinous crime against America, I wouldn’t have believed it. But the story of Trump has always been a crime story with many accomplices.

I just want to point out that the WHCD took place in a ballroom. Holding it in a different ballroom wouldn’t make it safer. The administration chose not to designate the WHCD as a “National Special Security Event.” That’s the difference.

Revlimid has its origin in a pill that cost patients $7.50 each. Decades later, the cancer drug costs more than $18,000 for a month’s supply — even though it still only costs about 25 cents to manufacture. (Published May 2025)

A graph summarizes one of the major points made by Neue Zürcher Zeitung's discussion of the collapse under Trump of the US dollar as a reserve currency. This will have adverse consequences for the US economy for decades, but major US media are seemingly oblivious to what is happening.

It’s looking increasingly likely that Kristi Noem and Lewandowski funneled almost 200 million in government money to a company that is run by her friend and that nobody can give an address for. Oh, and it was 8 days old when it was awarded the contract.
