“Donald Trump is a traitor. And he’s not simply a traitor in the loose sense of someone who commits an act of betrayal…Trump is a traitor in the very particular sense laid out in the U.S. Constitution…’adhering to their Enemies, giving them Aid and Comfort.’” www.americaamerica.news/p/donald-tru...

Kroger just announced the largest layoffs in its history, with plans to cut 3,000 employees as it ramps up use of AI. Reminder that Kroger has spent $12.3B on stock buybacks since 2019 and paid its CEO $14M last year — 417x its median worker's pay. AI is turbo-charging corporate greed.

Thirty years ago, Susan Collins promised Maine voters she’d serve only two terms. Now she’s a multimillionaire asking them for a sixth. Her current net worth is estimated to be roughly $6.8 million. Not bad for a Senate salary of $174,000 per year.

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.

🚨Holy crap! Ken Paxton partied on New Year’s Eve 2024 in Dubai with his girlfriend and two U.S. fugitives (Anosh Ahmed and Sameer Suhail) charged in healthcare fraud/embezzlement schemes. Ahmed, a major donor, gave about $190,000 to Paxton’s campaign — including after his indictment.

If you are shocked this am that Trump’s government executed a search warrant against a Democratic Member of Congress and ignored a judge’s order then you haven’t been paying attention. Stop saying this isn’t how it works in the US. It is exactly how it works under Trump.

For decades, Republicans in Washington have told us that tax cuts would trickle down to workers. Instead, wealth and power have accumulated in the hands of the richest 1% at the expense of the rest of us. Trickle-down economics was never supposed to work. It was a hoax.

The 400 richest Americans are now worth a record $8 trillion. The entire bottom 50% of American households is worth just $4.27 trillion. Read that back. When 400 people control more wealth than half a country’s population, we have a very serious problem.

More than 500 U.S. citizens have been detained by ICE, according to ProPublica. 70% of ICE detainees have no criminal conviction. Trump’s promise to go after the “worst of the worst” was always a lie. It was always a pretext to terrorize Black and brown communities. Remember this.
