JD Vance: "Today, the Dept of Agriculture is announcing millions of dollars in new grants toward 10 meatpacking facilities right here in the state of Kansas"
John Oliver: โIt does feel that the Republican Party has been getting way too comfortable with some, at best, N*zi-adjacent sh*t.โ variety.com/2026/tv/news...
Allowing one unelected man to have control over crucial aspects of the US military, allied militaries, the US space program, and so many other aspects of human life is absolutely insane. We were stupid to allow this to happen and it must be fixed ASAP.
We are making the oil oligarchs rich. We are making Trump and his cronies rich. It is literally at our expense every day. Thereโs no trickling down happening. And Trump is bragging about it knowing nobody in the Republican Party will stand up to him and say enough.
Mike Johnson: "When I'm in these big arenas, I ask for hands -- 'Show me your hand if you've answered a poll in the last six months.' There will be like three hands among 300 people. I'm telling you, these polls are off. All of them."
But sure letโs keep handing the keys to our future over to fascist anti-democracy tech oligarchs who arenโt even sure humanity needs to exist.

WITKOFF TO PUTIN (yes, that Putin): โYou talk so much about Trump being a humanitarian โ you are a humanitarian also, sir. I salute that. I commend you.โ
๐คฏ we are so cooked.
Russia was never a hoax.
Havenโt seen as yet any Australian political reporters ask Albanese, Marles or Wong why Australia is all in with a defence alliance with a country supporting Russia
"Trumpโs actual purpose was plainly not to increase US diesel supplies, or otherwise lower prices, but rather to make clear his intention to definitively change sides & become Russiaโs wartime ally โ & to undermine the sanctions regime against Russia the US worked so hard to implement over 5 years."
Trump has a new scheme to bribe farmers in swing states with welfare checks of taxpayer money because fuel has gone up so much because of his war. But only money for them, not for anyone else in the country. No, we have to keep paying higher prices AND we pay Trumpโs voters.
I donโt understand why farmers need an endless series of welfare payments from the rest of us since Trump took office. Arenโt his policies working for you? You need us to pay you so you will keep voting for the guy who is failing you? Donโt you believe in free market capitalism?
Apparently someone used the term shylock last night in a blatantly anti-Semitic way at a political rally but the ADL doesnโt want to say who it was.
For some reason.
You either believe, as many Republicans claim, that Trump wants to do whatโs right on Russia-Ukraine but keeps making bad decisions that helps Russia & hurts Ukraine. Or you believe that Trump has always been on Putinโs side. The former just proves you are a fool or dishonest.
The Russian invasion was not about Donetsk. The Russian war is not about Donetsk now. All you have to do is listen to any Putin interview about the war. It is about the subjugation of all of Ukraine under a Russian-aligned puppet government.
1. Trumpโs new White House press secretary, Katie Zacharia, says she is a lawyer.
She has claimed to be a lawyer repeatedly on national TV, on podcasts, and on social media.
But there is no evidence that Zacharia has ever been licensed to practice law.
Zelenskyy: "Prices are rising because of the war in the Middle East, the blocking of Hormuz. Everyone understands it. If we want to speak with people fairly, if we want to be clear, if we want to speak with our nations openly, people have to hear reality. Don't play games with people."
BREAKING: Willie Nelson endorses James Talarico:
โI've gotten to know James Talarico. He's a good man, who will be a good senator for the state of Texas. Please vote and vote for James Talarico.โ
Trump made more than $1.4 BILLION from cryptocurrency in 2025.
While you stress about rent and groceries.
While your earned benefits get cut.
And you really still believe all the handouts for the rich are meant to trickle down instead of staying in their own pockets?
So let me get this straight.
Microsoft can spend $176 BILLION on stock buybacks.
$1 BILLION on its top 5 execs.
$190 BILLION on AI infrastructure.
But 4,800 workers are "disposable" because executives want greater returns?
Get real.
A cashier making $35,000 a year pays a 14% effective federal tax rate.
Someone making $35,000 in capital gains pays $0.
Same income. Two completely different tax systems.
One punishes work. The other rewards wealth.
Trump wants us to "just trust" Musk, Zuckerberg, and all the other billionaires to police themselves on AI.
The same guys buying politicians to get themselves huge tax breaks.
And we're just handing them the reins for the most powerful tech in human history?
Pay attention.
Heating oil costs are expected to jump 50% this winter.
That's $878 MORE out of working families' pockets just to stay warm.
We could do something to make things easier for working people.
But instead we just give billionaires more tax breaks and expect it to "trickle down."
A truck driver working 40 hours a week making $50,000 pays $3,800 in federal income tax.
An investor making $50,000 in capital gains pays $0.
That is the rigged tax code in plain English.
The top 0.1% benefited from the corporate tax rate dropping from 10.5% in 2015 to as low as 5% in 2019.
The bottom 50% of households got essentially zero benefit.
Corporate profits grew 59% since 2015. Worker wages did not.
The Trump corporate tax cut was a wealth transfer. Full stop.
This is just despicable by MS NOW, which has accepted stolen taxpayers dollars for 38 illegal ads. Give me a break with this bullshit statement too. So your hosts are on air all day saying this is illegal while you are taking the money and running the ads? Just gross.
Trump made $1.4 BILLION in crypto profits in 2025.
His sons' companies got $3.2 BILLION in federal money.
Their billionaire friends raked in massive tax breaks.
The rest of us got higher prices, attacked earned benefits, no relief.
THE SWAMP WON.
Only today, during his summit with Chinese President Xi Jinping, the stupid man in the Oval Office said he does not expect any moves by the US or China to put guardrails around artificial intelligence.
What could possibly go wrong?
New Yorkโs DSA @nycmayor @zohrankmamdani continues to erase barriers and center regular folks ๐๐ฝ๐๐พ
Again: They werenโt scared of him failing, they were scared of him succeeding.
Stop calling it a climate problem.
Call it what it is: organized greed.
The planet isnโt dying. Itโs being killed for profit.
The killers have names. And boardrooms.
