The 10 highest-paid utility company executives raked in more than $220 million last year. Meanwhile, utility companies asked for a record $31 billion in rate increases, affecting 81 million customers across the country. Yes: utility CEOs are raking it in while millions struggle to pay their bills.

Yikes! Always something… We better wake up to what’s happening online. The right isn’t just posting anymore; they’re scaling influence with AI. 📌 AI-generated pro-Trump “influencers” are surging on social media and are starting to shape what people see and believe.

We knew where this was going when they executed people in boats and bragged about it. If the pushback now isn’t overwhelming, I can’t imagine they’re going to spontaneously discover human decency.

Showing my work: a) The blue lines show the data based on what was publicly available last night b) The green lines show the latest updates released this morning The numbers in Trump's post exactly match the green lines.

It follows that Trump leaked the most market-moving economic numbers that exist. I have no idea how illegal this is, or if the law even matters any more. But I do know this: It's unprecedented. No White House has ever before leaked such important market-moving numbers. No serious country does this

Holy cow: TRUMP LEAKED THIS MORNING'S PAYROLL NUMBERS. At 8:20pm last night he posted a photo of a briefing he received from his CEA. It reveals market-moving numbers that were officially released at 8:30am this morning. (Note: CEA receives the data—confidentially—on Thursday evening.)

Reporters who fact-check Trump to his face are not “stupid”, they are not “piggies”, and they are not “ugly”. They are doing their jobs, and doing it under pressure most of us will never experience. We should be grateful for their service. I appreciate their courage now more than ever.

Mike Johnson: "That's the reason the inflation is up, the cost of living is up so high -- because of the policies of the previous administration. Now, we're working to root those policies out and implement our own, but it takes a little time."

Few people outside North Carolina have heard of Paul Newby, the chief justice of the state’s Supreme Court. But Newby has had a huge impact on America and his state. He’s done this with the goal of delivering what he’s called “biblical justice, equal justice, for all.” THREAD 👇

There is no world in which it is normal for the president to publicly call upon his attorney general to hurry up and prosecute his political foes. It’s like the Watergate tapes but posted on social media. Let’s get a grip on what’s happening here.

Too bad the GOP effectively criminalized studying how information moves online and news orgs laid off and demonized all the reporters who covered the burgeoning online accelerationist performative death cults. All of that work was somehow "censorship" that needed to be stopped. Now we're here.

Manufacturing again lost jobs last month. Despite presidential promises of a manufacturing renaissance, we have fewer manufacturing jobs today than we did at the start of the pandemic in 2020.
