Trump gave Amazon a $16 billion tax break to accelerate its investments this year. Now, Amazon will replace 600,000 workers with robots as Jeff Bezos accelerates his plan to automate warehouses. No. Corporate tax breaks do not trickle down to workers. Never have. Never will.

A warning has been issued after fake letters were posted through letterboxes, claiming people would have to house refugees if they flew St George's flag.
The letter said that "patriotic" households displaying the country's flag will temporarily house refugees because ‘we know you would be proud to assist your country’.

Who has repeatedly rented U-Hauls in the past to create havoc? Hmmm…🧐 I’m gonna need U-Haul to bring out the receipts.
Dozens of men from the white supremacist group, Patriot Front, dressed in dark blue polo shirts, baseball caps (with labels on the back that read “victory or death”) and khakis pants load into a U-Haul van parked on the side of the road.A large u-haul truck is seen at the entrance of a road located near the White House in Washington DC. A LE officer can be seen bending over picking up what appears to be a flag or clothing laying on the road there are people standing near the front of the U-Haul

Chyron below photo reads “developing story. U-Haul truck Rams barrier near the White House. Police reportedly found a flag with swastika in the truck.
