The SEC quietly published a proposal to rescind a measure that prevents private equity firms from buying access to billions in pension funds that belong to public employees like teachers and police.
“Every record has been destroyed or falsified, every book rewritten, every picture has been repainted.... History has stopped. Nothing exists except an endless present in which the Party is always right.”
― George Orwell, 1984
Increase in productivity since 1979: 87%
Increase in hourly pay since 1979: 32%
Just so happens that ~25% of workers were unionized in 1979. Today? 10%.
As unions declined, the super-rich have taken a larger share of wealth generated by labor. We must build back union power.
NEW: We got access to Jeffrey Epstein’s personal Yahoo inbox — more than 18,000 emails.
It shows Epstein’s world in his own words: an unfiltered look at how his operation worked, who enabled it, and how Ghislaine Maxwell stayed at the center of it all.
We have a bit of a natural experiment here. Compare the tone, quantity and duration of Charlie Kirk coverage with that of the two Dem lawmakers gunned down in their homes in Minnesota 6 months ago. May be revealing.
The only reason why Putin would send drones into Poland would be that he doesn't believe Donald Trump would ultimately honor America's commitment to NATO and he wants to test that proposition.

Michael Cohen is asked to authenticate Trump’s signature. Cohen produces multiple examples of letters sent to him that appear to match the signature from the birthday book.
In today's distraction news, Trumpty Dumpty's hand picked BLS chief revise jobs numbers from April '24 through March '25 to show 911,000 fewer jobs were created.
I caution everyone to not believe any data from this admin without verification.
In this case, ADP payroll data could confirm or deny the numbers the refine has released. To me, this smells like BS meant to smear Biden while distracting from Donnie's love letter to Jeffrey.
Exclusive: We Have A Letter From Trump. That’s Definitely His Signature.
The president most clearly wrote that gross birthday greeting. With @meidastouch.com

SHAMELESS: Donald Trump is slapping his name on infrastructure projects across the U.S. funded by President Biden’s historic 2021 infrastructure law that Trump opposed and tried to derail. (NYT)
Holy shit lmao, some GOP consultant I've never heard of is fully notes app tell-all'ing Nancy Mace. You really gotta read the full thing, he's saying she's totally insane and even did sexual abuse to her staff, personally. x.com/jwesleydoneh...
It’s hard to keep track that we just illegally murdered 11 people in a boat… b/c a sociopathic piece of beef jerky is trying to kill all of us while the entirety of the #GOP protects the President of the United States who has raped children.

Right up until the minute Trump’s business ventures like Trump Shuttle, Trump Atlantic City casinos, Trump Steaks, Trump University, etc, etc, went bankrupt, Trump was claiming they were a huge success with big things right around the corner. Just like now with the economy.
Lord save us:
"Paramount is on the verge of acquiring Bari Weiss’s The Free Press and tossing her the keys to CBS News. The deal is on the 1-yard line, I’m told."
I know, I know, but: The president of the US saying, literally, "we're going in" in reference to sending the military to an American city for no reason beyond terrorizing the local population should be the most immediately impeachable shit imaginable
