Why have so many people fallen behind? It's not because of immigrants, trans people, or any other bogeyman trotted out by the GOP. It's because corporations and billionaires rigged the system in their favor — and a bought-off political establishment let it happen. It's time to fix the system.

A BFD. As people get ready to fill their heating oil tanks for the winter, they learn it will cost 80% more than last year. Your early Christmas Gift from Trump and the Republican Party is that your Christmas present budget will now go to their friends in the oil business.

wow -- Fox Business is now treating Trump's completely made up economic boasts as though they are factual. Note the citation here -- "The White House" Reminder that the entire US economy is about $32t. If we really had $21t flowing in, you'd notice it Fox thinks their viewers are really dumb

My favorite thing about the Kimberly Guilfoyle donor texts scandal is that it has to be humiliating for her that it’s now public. And it’s got to sting to know that it must have been Eric Deters who leaked her messages instructing him to help her commit tax fraud and cover up the scheme.

Trump’s sons have recently invested in dozens of defense companies. Those companies have now raked in a staggering $6 BILLION in current or future government contracts. Corruption? Or coincidence? You be the judge.

Subverting democracy isn't new to John Roberts, Brett Kavanaugh, or Amy Coney Barrett. All three were on George W. Bush's "Florida Recount Team," which lay the groundwork for stopping vote counting in Florida—and Bush v. Gore, the politically-motivated SCOTUS decision that gave Bush the election.

I’m spitballing here, but: “Petrol thieves” sent to scout base and get information on surveillance/response times. Trump’s “they wanted to do big damage” comment could be a lie, but could be a leak of a classified assessment referring to the actual would-be attackers, not the recon element.
