DoorDash spent $1.4M trying to stop Zohran Mamdani from becoming mayor. This week's historic $131.5M enforcement action against DoorDash for underpaying NYC delivery workers shows why. Yet another reminder that the only thing that can beat organized money is organized people.

I worry that most cynical among us, hopped up on 30 years of law and order rhetoric, will say "this is the system working: he didn't do anything wrong and now he's free." As if the terror and wide-scale publicity of an arrest and federal prosecution is not a horrible punishment in and of itself.

The Justice Department is admitting that a $14 million renovation on the Lincoln Memorial Reflecting Pool in Washington, DC, was flawed, and is dropping the criminal case against a former Olympian that accused him of damaging the pool, according to a new court filing. https://cnn.it/3RJJnwj

Does it work properly? No. Are the people making it acting in good faith? No. Have they ensured it can't be used maliciously? No. Does it make people's lives better? No. Will it make people's lives better? No. Is it profitable? No. Is it popular? No. Is it harmless? No. The argument for AI.

There are a lot of posts out there with the close-up visual of Markwayne Mullin on January 6, but this is a better perspective. He’s not protecting others; he’s protecting himself and hiding. You can see plenty of people at the entry door, ready to take on the insurrectionists, but not Markwayne.

Palantir reported $1.5 billion in losses from 2020-2024. That allowed them to pay $0 in federal income taxes. So how did they spend $64 million on stock buybacks and pay their CEO $3.3 billion over roughly the same period? This tax code is a complete joke.

AI speculation has been fueling the US stock market in 2025. If the bubble burst(and it will if huge losses continue ad nauseam), expect a crash much like the dotcom debacle.

When this criminal was jailed, the judge told David Gentile and America: ‘This is a warning to would-be fraudsters that seeking to get rich by taking advantage of investors gets you only a one-way ticket to jail.’ I guess not

In sworn testimony during his trial, a witness testified that former President Hernández once said that he wanted to “shove drugs right up the noses of the gringos.” Now he is going to be granted a pardon by President Trump — not even a commutation — and be freed from a 45-year prison sentence.

1. President Trump is directly and publicly intervening in the elections of a foreign nation and has also promised to grant a pardon to former President of Honduras Juan Orlando Hernández.

Chuck was in on the scam. Durbin, his second in command, would never vote “against” him on a strategic vote, unless there was an agreement or understanding. After all the flak Schumer got a few months ago for caving on the CR, he couldn’t vote “yes” again.

Sen. Murphy’s phrasing is spot on. Why isn’t he in Democratic leadership?

So here's where we are, Sunday morning: Trump is trying to starve hungry kids in order to bully Democrats into abandoning our fight against health care premium increases. So Trump is starving kids in order to deny families health care. Dystopian.

Yep. When it’s a wealthy, politically powerful white male, non consensual sex(both forced and exploited) isn’t molestation and rape, it’s merely “handsy.” Ask Megyn Kelly and Bill Maher!

Boy, North Carolina Republicans sure don't want the attached story to circulate. I sure hope that this stupid threat from their spokesperson doesn't boomerang on them and have a lot more people read and share the story, which once again, is conveniently attached below. That would be a shame.
