This is the direct result of Trump wanting to bolster his approval rating and to distract from the Epstein Files.

Amazon just announced another round of 16,000 layoffs, months after it laid off 14,000 workers. Reminder that Amazon CEO Andy Jassy raked in over $40M in 2024. And Amazon is spending at least $75 million producing and promoting the Melania documentary. The system is rigged.

“Accountability” is such a buzzword that has now lost virtually all meaning. We need to start saying HOW we’re going to hold people in this administration accountable, whether it be firing them, impeaching, bringing charges, etc.
