The NRA buys off Congress. No action on guns. The oil industry buys off Congress. No action on climate. Insurance companies buy off Congress. No action on health care. The list goes on and on. Money in politics is the root of our dysfunction.

Since Roe v. Wade was overturned, 412 women have been arrested for pregnancy-related prosecutions. Since the Epstein files were released, there have been ZERO arrests.

Hannity relayed a message from Trump to John Fetterman he would get "more money than he ever dreamed of" if he flipped Republican. This is not based on sources. It was on live TV. The President openly bribing a US senator. No one blinked. This is our America in 2026.

Don't forget: my old Yale Law classmate Clarence Thomas refused to recuse from Jan. 6 cases despite his wife's involvement in the plot. And he's taken at least 100 gifts worth over $2 million while serving, including from GOP donor Harlan Crow. He's a disgrace to the Court.

Why is the President of the United States shilling so hard for cryptocurrency? Because the entire industry is a Ponzi scheme — and he's the conman-in-chief.

So let me get this straight: a war of choice unilaterally declared by one man is causing death and destruction at a cost of $1B+ per day? And it's driving up prices everywhere to the point where corporations are now asking for taxpayer funded bailouts? Is this what the "New Golden Age" looks like?

Orbán associates rush to move wealth out of Hungary after election defeat
Incoming PM Péter Magyar accuses Fidesz-linked figures of trying to shield their wealth from accountability Along the banks of the Danube, news that the Viktor Orbán era had come to an end set off an hours-long party. The joy echoed across Hungary as people traded hugs and high-fives. For some, however, the landslide loss set off a frantic scramble. Private jets allegedly laden with the spoils of those whose wealth swelled during Orbán’s 16 years in power have steadily been taking off from Vienna, while other individuals are racing to invest their assets abroad, sources have told the Guardian. Meanwhile, high-level figures close to Orbán have been looking into US visa options, hoping to find work at Maga-linked institutions. Continue reading...

When billionaires take control of vital communication platforms, it’s not a win for free speech. It’s a win for oligarchy. And when those billionaires justify their business motives by citing “freedom,” what they actually seek is freedom from accountability. Don't be fooled.
