Trump: "Super intelligence, or SI. And that's the official name in the United States. I'll be signing a very powerful executive order. I spoke to President Xi. He loves it ... 'Artificial intelligence' is like the news. Fake news. I'm going to call them artificial news."

Meta just paid the lowest effective federal tax rate in its history. Thanks to tax breaks and loopholes, it avoided $13.7B in 2025 federal income taxes. But now it's planning to lay off 10% of its global workforce (8,000 people) by May 20 — with more job cuts later this year. Trickle down hoax.

Never mind the parts where Jesus criticized the Pharisees for performative, public displays of piety designed to gain human admiration rather than honor God.

Hegseth: "Our press are just like these Pharisees. Your politically motivated animus for President Trump nearly completely blinds you from the brilliance of our American warriors."

Betting on the outcomes of war. Every day it's more immorality and greed. Surely this only promotes apathy toward war, pro-war sentiment, and a path to profit from others' pain and misery. The people involved are deplorable. The fantasy football of war. theconversation.com/gamblers-can...

This video filmed by Ben Luhmann shows the moment a federal agent sprayed chemical irritants directly into a man's face in south Minneapolis. Three agents already had the man pinned to the ground when a fourth agent walked up and sprayed the irritants.

A democratic socialist wasn’t supposed to be able to win a major office like New York City mayor over the objections of billionaires. Yet Zohran Mamdani and the movement behind him built a campaign far stronger than the oligarchs and their unlimited money.

Is anyone talking about how Trump keeps saying they're going to bring pharma drug prices down by 100, 200, 600, 1000%? Does this mean they'll be paying us to get them?

Stephen Miller said last year this was the plan. They said it out loud. Some of us highlighted his remarks at the time and warned how dangerous they were. Most of the media missed them and/or moved on from them. It’s happening:

Red states sending troops to blue states is a really bad idea.

Unusual? What about all the bombs gleefully signed with messages by US politicians, and dropped by Israel on Gaza and Palestinians? The signings televized as if it were celebrated and somehow normal.

CNN@cnn.com

Scrawled messages on bullet casings and weapons left behind have popped up at several high-profile shootings over the past year. The seemingly unusual practice is actually reminiscent of a centuries-old tactic but can often provide insight to investigators. https://cnn.it/3Wqukq0

Watch this. This is what this criminal administration wants to do to all of us. Find the groups in your community that are standing up against ICE and join them.

Live Nation–Ticketmaster controls nearly every corner of the US live music business, from ticketing to touring. In Portland, Maine, a coalition of venues, musicians, and art workers rallied the city against the industry’s most powerful monopoly.

Two aggressors meet to agree on conditions of surrender for the third, oppressed party (not in attendance). They then threaten the oppressed party and set the stage to blame the oppressed party for disrupting peace when they don't agree to the conditions. Right.

The plan for the release of the hostages and the demilitarization of Hamas was published amid a visit between Trump and Israeli Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu, as the US president warned that he would give a greenlight to continued Israeli military action unless Hamas agrees to the proposal.

A 12-foot statue of Donald Trump and Jeffrey Epstein frolicking and holding hands appeared on the National Mall in Washington, DC on Tuesday, September 23. A plaque under the statue states that it has been erected “In Honor of Friendship Month."

I'm still kind of stunned that 'news' networks were so eager to promote, cover, broadcast and legitimize the evangelical Christian nationalist rally that was Charlie Kirk's memorial event.

After Neil's set CNN commentators make comments about nearly every song EXCEPT "Crime". Too spinless to talk about a song that wants fascism out of the White House and highlights crime in the White House.

Good for Neil Young opening Farm Aid just now singing about crime in the white house and being anti-fascist. Starting out strong with protest songs... Cue angry Republicans just now listening to lyrics and Trump complaining about the "illegal" criticism, claiming Young has always been a "no-talent".

Cheering for Rep. Ilhan Omar being interviewed by Kaitlan Collins tonight on CNN. She's standing her ground clearly and intelligently getting a barrage of questions that seemingly are part of some nagging agenda to force some kind of apology, and denial of who Charlie Kirk was.

Steve Geeee reposted

Q: My condolences on the loss of your friend Charlie Kirk. How are you holding up? TRUMP: I think very good. And by the way, right there you see all the trucks. They just started construction of the new ballroom for the White House, which is something they've been trying to get for about 150 years.

It was refreshing to have somone who was able to throw some light on whom Kirk actually was. Anyones violent death is to be regretted and any assassination condemned, but lets not beatify a person who was a bigot, a homophobe, a racist with antiquated dystopian views. All on camera for all to see.

AOC: The math is not adding up. Their claim is that one million undocumented people are on Medicaid. So why are they trying to cut 13.7 million Americans off their healthcare?

If there was ever a symbol of why we need to get big money out of politics, reform campaign financing, stop conflicts of interest, and tax great wealth, Elon Musk is it. Kudos to Susan Crawford on this big victory for democracy, labor rights, and reproductive freedom in Wisconsin.
