Its not We, its Him

“We’re making a fricking fortune,” Trump said. Who’s the we? “We” is he…the Trump family…billionaire cronies profiting off of the corruption and crime…oil execs who gave him millions. This is the “we” who Trump cares about—always has, always will. www.americaamerica.news/p/showing-tr...

The husband of a U.S. soldier killed in Trump's Iran war confronts JD Vance over alleged military leadership failures that led to the deaths of his wife and five other service members. JOEY AMOR: “There's a failure in the leadership.” VANCE: “This is literally the first time I've heard of this.”

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.

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...

Let me be specific: Donald Trump is an f-ing traitor. He is in cahoots with Putin and Russia to break our democratic ally, Ukraine, which makes all of us less safe. www.nytimes.com/2026/10/14/w...

Dear Trump voters, You wanted mass deportations. Well, hundreds of thousands of people have been deported. NOW WHAT? • Did you get that job they supposedly took from you? • Did grocery prices drop? • Is rent cheaper? • Did your health insurance premiums drop? #TrumpsAbuseOfPower 🧵

Pants on fire

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.

It would a shame if people found out.

When Elon Musk's groups spent $20M+ on Wisconsin's 2025 Supreme Court race, his involvement backfired and his candidate lost by 10 points. Now his super PAC has quietly spent $14M+ on key midterm races, including the Texas Senate race. Would be a shame if people found out.

The Navy may change the name of a warship to honor a brave black man who served honorably in the Pearl Harbor attack to the name of a cowardly draft dodger who is so ignorant he didn’t even know what happened at Pearl Harbor, according to his then Chief of Staff accompanying him on the visit

Or, are they pedophiles?

The Democratic Party’s mega-donor class is horrified by the rising tide of progressive populism. Too bad. It's time they recognize the real choice is between democracy and tyranny, between an economy that works for all or one that works for a small sliver at the top.

Mitch McConnell’s communications director’s silence and smirk speak volumes. If he were fine, or even improving, she’d just say so. There’s no way this man is coming back.

Brazil has denied visas to two senior State Department officials that the Trump administration planned to dispatch on a mission to cast doubt on the fairness and integrity of the country’s electoral system before Brazil’s presidential election this fall.

In the years since A.I. burst onto the scene, many companies have become aware of flaws produced by the technology and, at times, taken steps to offset them. But as companies race to bring A.I. into their day-to-day operations, researchers are discovering more subtle defects.
