The richest man owns X. The second and fourth richest men control Google. The third richest man owns The Washington Post. The sixth richest man owns Facebook, Instagram, and WhatsApp. And now the seventh richest could soon take over both Paramount and Warner Bros. See the problem here?

Last year, Trump and DOGE gutted funding for thousands of USAID programs, including monitoring and containing New World screwworm in Central America. Now, the parasite has moved north and infected American livestock. "Efficiency."

The government cut funding for the New World screwworm monitoring program and then reportedly ignored ranchers warning the parasite was working its way to the U.S.

Facilities like Delaney Hall are profitable in part because they can compel detained people to work for otherwise illegal rates. There’s a lot of profit in paying immigrants a dollar a day to run their own jail—until they refuse.

I want to be part of a “circle” where deep thoughtful mutually respectful conversations are not censored. I guess it is ultimately -“their group -their rules” whether the “they” is AARP or Meta. Is anyone up for a self selecting circle of wise humans over 55 who don’t identify as cisgender males?

THE WOMAN WHO WAS DRAGGED OUT OF HER CAR AND ARRESTED BY ICE SPEAKS OUT… We’ve all seen the videos, but it matters to hear Aliya Rahman say it herself. 📌 She says her treatment in custody was dehumanizing, and that officers completely failed to take her disability seriously.

This will devastate millions of families who rely on these services to survive. Make no mistake: this has nothing to do with supposed "fraud" or any other excuse Trump whips up. This is about enacting revenge on states that stand up to him and his cruel agenda.

FIVE YEARS & he has not been held accountable for one of the most disgraceful events in this nation's history. Trying to overturn a fair election in an attempted coup against his own government is the very definition of TREASON. We can never move forward until this is fully adjudicated. #ShameOnUS🇺🇸

The U.S. childhood vaccine schedule is not a list doctors randomly decided on. It evolved over decades in response to deadly outbreaks, hard lessons and rigorous research. Rolling it back, says @jakescottMD.bsky.social, risks relearning those lessons the hard way. buff.ly/Y6H0LZj #VaccinesWork 🩺🧪

Paul Singer, whose firm owns the US subsidiary of Venezuela's state-owned oil company, spent millions in 2024 to re-elect Trump. Now, after Trump's invasion of Venezuela on behalf of Big Oil, he's set to cash in on his investment. A government of, by, and for the billionaires.

The ouster of Maduro is a financial windfall for a prominent Trump-supporting billionaire, investor Paul Singer.

As of this week, millions of Americans are now paying thousands more for health insurance. If the President and Congressional GOP think Washington has the capacity to "run" Venezuela right now, why won't they fix the insurance cost crisis they've created here at home?

They made a mistake from the beginning, not just morally but tactically, in gleefully releasing all their boat murder snuff films and blasting them out wall-to-wall so everyone sees them a million times. Can hardly plead now 'no, this one would be too gruesome, we don't release that kind of stuff.'
