“He’s got the White House looking like Saddam Hussein opened up a Cheesecake Factory” — Obama

In his interview published in today's NY Times, Scott Kirby, the CEO of United Airlines, endorses a national wealth tax and a high inheritance tax because "income inequality has become a danger to our society." More CEOs should get on board with that.

Voters blame 4 things for soaring energy prices - each of which leads them to oppose Republicans 1. Trump's ill-conceived war 2. Big oil price gouging 3. Data centers driving up electricity rates 4. Trump's efforts to eliminate clean energy alternatives

Per the new Economist/YouGov poll, 26% of Trump voters from the last election say their opinion of Trump has changed for the worse since the start of the 2nd term.

Calling it “super intelligence” reinforces the public’s already considerable concerns about artificial intelligence. The AI companies should reject it. “Super intelligence” adds to the sense that this is a technology that is beyond human control and even human understanding - a master, not a tool.

How stupid does Husted think Ohioans are? He has voted 13 times against procedural motions, amendments, and resolutions in the U.S. Senate to limit or end the war. Ashley Hinson has voted seven times to continue the war. Iowans will recognize her b.s. too.

NEW: In late 2024, FBI investigators had enough evidence to launch a sweeping bribery probe that could ensnare top lawmakers, including Sen. Susan Collins. Then Trump was reelected and eviscerated the FBI and DOJ teams handling public corruption probes.

The culture wars are not working out quite the way the Republicans had planned, with more voters seeing the GOP than the Democratic Party as a threat to their culture and way of life, per today's CBS News poll.

I’ve been a member of five labor unions in my life. I’ve seen firsthand what working people can accomplish when we stand together. The rights and protections workers have today weren’t handed to us. Generations of workers and organizers fought for them, stood their ground, & refused to back down.

The latest from YouGov (n ~ 17.6k): Yes, everyone hates the idea of renaming Lake Ontario. Trump barely breaks 40 percent of *Republicans* and Independents barely break into the *single digits* yougov.com/en-us/daily-...

Trump and Republicans did not come close to winning a "supermajority" in 2024. They won a trifecta (control of the White House, Senate, and House) - but not so "rare" in that Biden and Democrats did that in the prior presidential election, albeit because of Harris's tie-breaking vote in the Senate.

Companies are using your data to set "personal" prices, & the FTC is finally starting to take notice. Some states like MD & CA are passing laws to protect consumers, but it's not nearly enough in the face of corporate greed. Even the Good Morning America anchors seem shocked this is legal.

Susan Collins' expressions of concern about the damaging Canadian tariffs are another example of her performative posturing. Jamieson Greer had already threatened a trade war with Canada when he was confirmed. Collins should have voted against him then - instead she voted with Trump and her party.

A third straight poll shows us what we already know. No amount of billionaire money can overcome an organized movement of working Mainers fighting for an economy that works for us. Susan Collins should be very concerned.

“More than 20,000 Haitian TPS holders work as direct caregivers and nursing assistants in the U.S. long-term care industry. Overall, immigrants make up roughly 28% of the nation's long-term care workforce, with over 112,000 Haitian-born individuals employed in the broader healthcare sector.”

Ignore what Trump says in Pennsylvania. Here is the truth about what he done to the economy and why very large majorities of Americans now disapprove of his handling of the economy

My colleague sent me this photo she took yesterday of Trump’s “blue” Reflecting Pool. She wrote: “I walked down there and took that photo (no filters). And they have loud machines and tubes trying to filter it/get rid of the algae — it is not working. “ Your tax dollars at work.

Sen. Jack Reed: "Reuters is reporting that part of the deal is $24 billion in sanctions relief for the Iranians. So this is not a 'we win and you do what we say.' This is, 'how can we open up the straits? What will it cost us?'"

"I love the inflation" is his new middle name DONALD I LOVE THE INFLATION TRUMP

Aaron Rupar@atrupar.com

Q: Are you concerned about the latest inflation numbers that came out this morning? TRUMP: No, I love it. I love the inflation. You know why? Because as soon as this war is over -- do you know we've been taking out millions of barrels of oil? You know who doesn't know? Iran until right now.
