16 Trucking Companies Just Went Bankrupt in 30 Days
At least 16 U.S. trucking and logistics companies have filed for Chapter 7 or Chapter 11 bankruptcy in the past month. The freight sector is under serious pressure.
Soaring diesel prices are the biggest culprit. Rising insurance rates, equipment maintenance, and labor costs are piling on. Some carriers filed Chapter 11 to restructure their debt and keep trucks rolling.

The same Brendan Carr who wanted to investigate NBC because Kamala was on SNL? The same Brendan Carr who wanted to dismantle independent fact checking and accused them of being a “censorship cartel?” Periodic reminder that the corruption is a feature, not a bug.

We are paying CNN and MS NOW to run ads for Donald Trump right before the midterms. You and I are paying for them. And CNN and MS NOW are taking the cash while their hosts and guests say the scheme is illegal. That is the current state of corporate media in America.

Two systems of justice: one swift and relentless for the people, another slow and hesitant for the oligarchs. Accountability shouldn’t depend on power or wealth.
