Billionaires are vacuuming up all the wealth, while workers get screwed. They’re laughing in our faces while Trump steals from us and builds a ballroom. (H/T @qasimrashid.com)

This. It has always been this. A sitting American president did this. And because he did this, he should have been convicted and put behind bars. And the fact that we never held him accountable for these crimes will forever stain this country. And we may never recover from it.👇

I’m sorry. Is the message “invest in us OR we’ll destroy humanity” or “invest in us AND we’ll destroy humanity“?

Reuters got some of the IPO docs. Anthropic is a total dog of a company. Spent $12.6bn to make $4.6bn in revenue in 2025, $7.33bn of which was compute costs. Operating loss of $8bn. Losses getting worse year over year. Amazing stuff www.reuters.com/business/fin...

Summary
Companies
• Anthropic IPO could value the company at more than $2
trillion
• Anthropic lost $42 billion in 2025
• Al lab spent $7.33 billion on compute and infrastructure last year
• Operating loss widened to $8.06 billion in 2025 from $2.98 billion in 2024
• Execs, industry analysts have expressed concerns over harms of Al tech
Sept 28 (Reuters) - Anthropic is making a massive bet that Al will transform the global economy more profoundly than industrialization, electricity and the internet, according to its IPO prospectus seen by Reuters.
But the cost to get there will be staggering. Anthropic reported a net loss of $42 billion in 2025, and plans to spend $518 billion on cloud, computing and infrastructure obligations in coming year, according to the
prospectus.

Do you know how much the pay of CEOs at major companies has skyrocketed since 1978? 50%? 100%? 500%? Try 1,316% Meanwhile, the typical workers’ compensation increased only 28%. This is what I mean when I say the system is rigged.

Elizabeth Warren: "It's gonna look like whatever Xi Jinping wants it to look like. Donald Trump loves to bully when he's talking to the press. He loves to bully when he's front of a big crowd. But face to face is there any evidence that he has ever been tough with another dictator?"

If you have a dollar for every transgender athlete playing college sports you'd have about $6 which just happens to be the price for a gallon of diesel now. Congrats MAGAts, you played yourselves.

Listen, i may not be a football girlie but game theory-wise i will say this: the way Robert Kraft collaborated with other NFL owners to get Macklemore kicked off of Ed Sheeran's tour speaks to why Colin Kaepernick was never given another shot after taking a knee for racial justice.

The number of voters who make no distinction between a document-supported 6-month journalism investigation and something they heard from a guy squeezing canteloupes at the supermarket is truly frightening.

Exactly. We must never lose sight of why we have certain laws in place. Many are to protect us from the outcome of unchecked and dangerous greed.

A data center in New Jersey spilled 5,000 gallons of diesel fuel into a local creek, putting the area’s entire river system at risk. Is it any wonder nearly 70 percent of Americans don’t want a data center in their community?

Your regular reminder: If the Russians stop fighting, the war ends. If the Ukrainians stop fighting, their land will be occupied, their leaders will be killed, their history and language will be erased, their children will be kidnapped to serve Russia.

The Administration’s 50 percent tariffs on Canadian goods, along with Canada’s retaliatory tariffs that took effect today, will only make it harder for Minnesota businesses and farmers to compete and will further drive up prices for families.
