Oil prices climbed above $116 per barrel after markets opened today, as Iran-backed Houthi militants fired missiles and drones at Israel over the weekend and promised to continue attacks.

"I got my PhD by writing prompts instead of doing research, I'm winning" got some bad news, there still no jobs and now you also know nothing

The king of law firm capitulators was also apparently an Epstein fanboy. www.ft.com/content/e12a...

Billie Eilish: "No one is illegal on stolen land"

Billie Eilish during her #GRAMMYs speech for Song of the Year: “As grateful as I feel, I don’t need to say anything except that, no one is illegal on stolen land. It’s really hard to know what to say and what to do right now, I feel hopeful in this room and we need to keep protesting… fuck ICE.”

No arrests of the ICE thugs who murdered Alex Pretti, Renee Good, or Keith Porter. No arrests of anyone in the Epstein Files. But they arrested Don Lemon because of his journalism.

That tech oligarchs are noisy and incensed about the remote possibility of a wealth tax and utterly silent about the murder of a man who was only using the phone they invented to chronicle the thuggish government goon squads should tell you everything about these desiccated souls.

I genuinely don't understood how America took the emoluments clause -- the common-sense bar on a president using his powers to line his own pockets, a law children can understand -- and just said, nah, that doesn't apply for our Very Special Boy.

The American people are sick and tired of footing the bill for Trump’s habit of conducting government business at his personal resort.

“Tell your children who the cowards were.”

This absurd pardon shows the murderous boat bombings were never about stopping drugs

It’s nearly impossible to have less eloquence than this pustule.

WHAT THE FUCKING FUCK HOW DO THEY JUST STAND THERE AND HOW ARE WE SUPPOSED TO KEEP HEARING THIS SHIT AND NOT EXPLODING?

TEN MONTHS IN: The national debt is higher. The trade deficit is wider. The inflation rate has worsened. The unemployment rate is up.

@repdangoldman.bsky.social is the best. We need more members of Congress like him. 👏👏👏

Can we just take a minute and acknowledge that our POTUS is right OUT IN THE OPEN lobbying Congressional members to vote against releasing the Epstein files?! Like... what the fuck else does anyone even need to know?

Serious question: 🙋🏽‍♂️ Will ‘donors’ do the right thing and pause or withdraw their donations after these Epstein emails coming to light? 🤔 These are the 37 donors helping pay for Trump's $300 million White House ballroom apnews.com/article/dono...

i find every story about costco's brand strategy and overall approach completely fascinating.

“.. As the raids have continued, consumers have started to question whether the company’s silence makes it an accomplice to the sweeps rather than merely the backdrop. .. A backlash is coming for the company.” @bloomberg.com $HD www.bloomberg.com/opinion/arti...

This is a bad deal, and the old way of doing things is clearly not working. We need new leaders in the Senate.

Bernie Sanders: "What this Senate is about to do is make a horrific situation even worse. So let's be clear what this vote is about. If this vote succeeds, over 20 million Americans are gonna see at least a doubling in their premiums in the ACA."

Tesla’s profit fell 37% in the third quarter. It's been in the process of laying off 14,000 workers. It had more cars impacted by recalls than any other brand in 2024. Yet Elon Musk just got a pay package worth $1 trillion. American capitalism is off the rails.

US citizen shot from behind as he warned ICE agents children would be coming to get bus, lawyers say

Astounding levels of aggression against obviously nonthreatening nonviolent protestors and bystanders. Border Patrol and ICE are so fundamentally broken as institutions.

Cost to fund SNAP and keep 42 million people from starving: $100 billion Cost of lost revenue due to tax cuts for the richest Americans in the top 1%: $100 billion One is decried as "welfare." One is not. Why?

Who’s eating the tariffs? You, mostly. @cnbc.com www.cnbc.com/2025/10/16/t...

This Is Fascism

An artificial heart for children with congenital heart defects was almost finished. Families had waited for years it. Then, Trump canceled billions in grants for universities — including the grant for this device. The cruelty is endless. www.npr.org/2025/10/09/n...

Um, ICE just coldly shot an unarmed PRIEST in the head w a pepper ball when he (and everyone around him) clearly posed no threat. For the crime of … complaining about government policy. Core 1A speech. With cameras rolling, they’re sniping priests for sport.

CNBC: "Very disappointing. It's a weak number. This is private sector jobs for September. The total comes in -32,000. And that was a surprise because economists were looking for an increase of 51,000. Also, the revision was not good. August now showing -3,000 compared to the initial read of 54,000"
