Trump: "With the war, it's just artificial. It's a little bit high. It's a small price to pay ... let them take out Los Angeles, let them take out San Diego. This is a very small price to pay."

You spoke out, and he backed down. Now let’s see the proof this illegal waste of your taxes is over for good. And that he pays the money back. We don’t want the U.S. taxpayers to be the latest contractors to get stiffed.

Target paid its CEO $21.8M last year — 794x the median Target worker's pay of $27,506. Target has also spent $13.9B on stock buybacks since 2019, while remaining among the largest employers of Medicaid and SNAP recipients in America. This is what I mean by a rigged economy.

PabloReports: What do you make of Trump saying Americans who oppose data centers are backwards and poor? AOC: I mean, how about we put one in Mar-a-Lago? I love that. Let’s put a data center at Mar-a-Lago, and we’ll see how backwards and poor he is in response to that.

🗞️As a former Managing Editor of Stars and Stripes I can tell you it is the most important newspaper in the world because it exists to inform and protect our troops from people like the despicable Pete Hegseth and Donald Trump who do not believe they — or anybody for that matter — are owed the truth.

Providing school children with free meals is better than posting The Ten Commandments and then ignoring their hunger.

Look at this graph. The share of national income going to the richest 10 percent was lowest (and share to lower 90 percent highest) when union membership was at its highest. As unions have weakened, inequality has widened. This is why we must build back union power.

Epstein co-conspirator Ghislaine Maxwell has custom meals and a comfort puppy in prison. Commerce Secretary Howard Lutnick kept his job after lying about his ties to Epstein. Todd Blanche was OKd as AG after his Epstein files cover-up. Clearly, Republicans think the rape of children is no big deal.

It’s been less than a week since Riley O’Neil’s funeral and the city is actively removing protected bike lanes from 18th street. Just 2 weeks ago everyone in the city made public comments that Riley’s death was a tragedy & yet this week they’re making biking less safe
