Huge corporations like Amazon, Walmart, and Uber are among the top employers of SNAP and Medicaid recipients. Meanwhile, their CEOs are raking in multi-million dollar pay packages. How is this not a bigger scandal?

Todd Blanche only agreed to meet Epstein survivors after his confirmation was at risk. They called it a box-checking exercise. He told CNN the justice they want isn't something he can deliver. Now they've written to Tillis and Cornyn: vote him down. www.dworkinsubstack.com/p/the-trump-...

Kicking Graham Platner to the curb is not showing you are the party without the hunger to win, it is showing that you are the party, unlike the alternative, that has moral standards. That can only help the party in the long run.

The silly little ritual of Supreme Court opinion days is a perfect illustration of the justices’ self-absorption. “We’re gonna decide cases but it’s a SURPRISE which ones, so just keep refreshing this browser tab to find out who still has civil rights!” Profoundly stupid institution. I loathe it.

They didn't just change the name of the Kennedy Center, they also changed the description. Calling a performing arts facility "The National Cultural Center" is ominous, given how this administration regard's the country's "culture" as white supremacy.

This is an outrageous story. A farmer donated 87 acres to a small Texas city on the condition it be used as a public park. Years later, the farmer has passed away, the city sold the land to a developer, and now it will be the site of a 135,000 square foot data center www.404media.co/a-farmer-don...

Fox News is so out-of-touch that it thinks being against the construction of data centers, which are wildly unpopular, is a "far-left" policy. Keep up the good work of making progressive candidates more appealing to voters, Fox.

IF Donald drops the $1.8B slush fund as Axios reports he's going to do, I don't think that stops the court's investigation into whether his lawsuit against the IRS was a fraud on the court. But we'll see what happens.

Someone at a party told me, "AOC is stupid." I replied, "You really need to stop watching Fox. It's turning your brain into porridge. I've listened to AOC question witnesses in House hearings, and she is better at cross-examination than most top-tier trial attorneys." I then found better company.

It should be leading news that the FBI has released a video they claim shows Cole Tomas Allen shooting at police, however the video shows zero shots fired by Allen. The FBI is lying and the media treats it like it’s normal.
