I called Trump’s deal with Putin “a deepening betrayal” on Monday. Now it’s clear he’s a despicable traitor with blood on his hands as Ukraine’s civilian deaths mount—and who’s making all of us less safe. www.americaamerica.news/p/another-be...

If this country was truly “pro-life,” we would have Medicare for All, a Green New Deal, gun reform, universal child care, and a living wage. And we certainly wouldn't have public executions. The right-wing agenda isn’t about “life.” It's about cruelty.

If the disruption really is some kind of political intervention, this is only further proof that Europeans—or anyone in the world—can’t rely on any of Musk’s products, as they will be at the whims of the technocrat that still finds himself at Trump’s beck and call. newrepublic.com/post/216600/...

Pretty clear that Trump/Hegseth are doing everything they can to force Ukraine to surrender to Putin by withholding all US assistance while actively helping fund the Russian war machine to kill as many civilians as possible including kids. What a dark, evil chapter in US history.

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.
