Jeff Bezos is on @cnbc.com RN defending positions that are very flawed. The Squawk Box host seems stunned. He was asked his opinions on the social contract between people w/ great wealth & those who have much less. A Bezos Position: building a successful business is better than charitable giving.

Just my opinion, but there should be a constitutional remedy for when the President of the United States addresses the nation and everything he says is either pure lunacy, an unhinged claim or a blatant fabrication. Just like the 25th amendment, but real.

Nothing to see here. Just a drunk sending our young men and women to war trying to profit off of insider knowledge about said war.

🚨 THIS JUST IN: With over 100 protests still to come, we can already estimate that at least 8 million people participated in No Kings protests today. That makes No Kings 3 the largest single day of protest in American history. #NoKings

Mohommad Nazeer put his life on the line to protect U.S. service members. Then he immigrated to the U.S. and did everything he was supposed to do. ICE fascists picked him up arbitrarily. The next day he is dead in an ICE facility. He leaves behind six young children. Share his story.

Our bases are being bombed. Our embassies are under attack. Thousands of Americans are stranded. Innocent Iranians are being murdered. We’re spending $1B a day to wage an illegal war which has resulted in the deaths of 6 US soldiers & injuries to countless others. And where is Trump? Golfing.

And it is absolutely unacceptable that leaders who are incapable of fulfilling this task use the smokescreen of war to mask their incompetence and line the pockets of a select few." Prime Minister Pedro Sánchez, Spain (2/2)

Randall on Mississippi: "One of the perpetrators of that fraud? Former NFL quarterback Brett Favre, who received $1.1m from the govt for speeches he never made. Congressional Republicans' response was to invite Favre to testify about how we should strengthen oversight of federal welfare programs."

Ossoff: "The president owes Americans a real explanation. 2am posts on Truth Social just aren't good enough when you're sending Americans into combat. He was dancing at his beach club the same night he ordered air crews to launch into combat & hours before our service members endured missile salvos"

You cannot talk like this about any other minority in America. And if it was any other president’s adviser who said something like this about any other minority, it’d be the instant end of their presidency.

I saw a CNBC interview w/ Starwood Capital’s CEO Barry Sternlicht. The greed is unmatched. The hate directed towards Mayor Mamdani is palpable. Sternlicht actually said that billionaires will flee NY for Fl to avoid paying billionaire tax. Tell him that his workers won’t join him. #FloridaProblems.

More of this, please. The folks in this grassroots group are heroes. Haven Watch lives by the promise, “No One Walks Alone.” Day or night, they show up. When people are released from ICE detention, volunteers meet them in the cold, disoriented, and exhausted. Beautiful and devastating all at once.

Regulations are what keeps ordinary Americans healthy and, often, alive. It took spoiled meat and rodent droppings out of our food. It took harmful lead out of our gasoline and paint. It took poison out of our water. Deregulation only achieves one goal: making rich corporations richer.
