Kroger just announced the largest layoffs in its history, with plans to cut 3,000 employees as it ramps up use of AI. Reminder that Kroger has spent $12.3B on stock buybacks since 2019 and paid its CEO $14M last year — 417x its median worker's pay. AI is turbo-charging corporate greed.

Americans have paid $74.4 Billion more on gasoline & $47.5 Billion more on diesel since March 1 compared to a year ago. $122 Billion of disposable income gone up in smoke because elected Republicans refuse to say "no" to Trump.

Warren: "This has been their argument every time -- they cut taxes and say, 'Ultimately it's really going to pay off for you.' What's happened every time? The academics study it very carefully and say, 'What really happened is the richest people got richer and everybody else got left behind.'"

Fox News: Look, they are non-stop prosecuting Trump for being successful. 2 years later, the public buys it because all the other news refuses to show any other achievements the DEMS make and cover the trials daily, and reelect the GOP back into office because the DEMS weren’t getting anything done.

I wonder how long it will take Schumer to write a strongly worded letter to Trump for spending taxpayer money (illegally btw) airing that Pro-Trump propaganda commercial.

We have to purge the Democratic Party of centrists and corporate hacks. If you take money from AIPAC, AI, and Crypto, you are part of the problem. We will use you for the short term, but make no mistake, we will get rid of you and replace you with fighters.

More than $500 million a day. That’s the price Americans have been forced to pay in extra gas and diesel costs since the Iran war began: now over $107 billion total, or more than $820 per household. Working people always get handed the bill. It's time to show the GOP the door!

What gets me is how Trump and MAGA world are acting like 162,000 jobs is a blockbuster number. During Biden's term, he averaged a monthly job growth of 321,000. Since Trump took office, there's only been 663,000 jobs created for a monthly average of 34,900. data.bls.gov/timeseries/C...

The effective federal corporate income tax rate: 1950: 50% 1990: 25% 2020: 13% Stop asking "but how we will pay for it?" Restore the corporate tax rate. That is how we will pay for it.

Given that Republicans are in charge of the presidency, the House, and the Senate, you can’t with a straight face claim they’ve been discriminated against with voter fraud. They’ve won it all and they’re claiming there is rampant fraud. It’s bullshit.

Just a random reminder that trickle-down economics was invented by conservatives in the 1980s to justify massive tax cuts for the wealthy and corporations. It’s been nothing short of a disaster.
