it's not at all clear why Trump is out here speaking in the first place, but he's ranting and raving about the "skinning" of the White House and various decorative projects he has going on

President Obama held a speaking event in Glasgow, Scotland last night, where a sold-out crowd of 12,000 packed the arena. At this point, the only way Trump could attract a crowd this size would be for his funeral, or if he paid the attendees (alot).

"In February 2024, Blanche & his partner Emil Bove — now Judge Bove — insisted that 'a fair trial cannot be conducted this year.' And yet, 22 days before the midterms, with early voting already underway in MN, Blanche’s DOJ searched a candidate’s home over paperwork a dead man filed 3 decades ago."

When the public invests in new tech, the public should benefit.

That’s why our investment in a Quantum Fabrication Lab at NYU includes a first-of-its-kind agreement to give the city seats on the board and a share of the revenue from the lab — all while making our city the quantum capital of the world. 

We’re creating a new national model for economic development that gives working people a say and a stake.

Netflix is laying off 1,000 workers — its largest layoff ever. In 2025, Netflix had a net income of $11 billion (up 26%). Its CEO was paid $53M (255x more than the median employee). And it just raised prices for the second time in just over a year. Corporate greed in a nutshell.
