Apple got a $2.2 billion tariff refund check. Amazon got $600 million.: Walmart got $10 Billion. So basically they got to raise all the prices then cash in?

Dozens of gas-burning power plants are being built across the country, solely to power data centers. These plants could emit as much planet-warming pollution as half of all passenger vehicles in the entire country in a single YEAR. We need a data center moratorium — now.
Dang we have the 3rd worst air quality in the world right now in Portland because of the wildfire smoke only some place in Indonesia and the congo have worse air quality right now that sucks
Reminder: they finally got Al Capone on tax evasion. Now, Trump Org. a criminal organization is asking for IRS immunity. Oh really?? Capital One closures were the result of months of analysis flagging "money-laundering" suspicions. #SheShed #VivaHerAlliance www.theguardian.com/us-news/2026...
Capital One says it closed Trump Organization’s accounts after anti-money-laundering review
Disclosure from 2021 investigation marks first time a bank has formally tied money-laundering concerns to Donald Trump

Talarico’s argument is simple: Stop treating marijuana like a crime. Legalize it. Regulate it. Tax it. Stop wasting police resources on low-level marijuana offenses. Clear the records of people whose lives have been derailed by nonviolent marijuana convictions.
El-Sayed: "Mike, I'm gonna say it right now, I know you're gonna say no because you're a coward: Five debates, alright? ... By the time we're done, you are not gonna have safe quarter from people holding you accountable to what you've done for them here in Michigan. We will send you back to Florida"
Young people are watching the mask slip off people they thought they knew, and it’s breaking them. Let it break the silence too. We don’t get to be quiet while empathy gets treated like a weakness. 90 days to prove there’s still enough of us who give a damn. #Pinks #BlueWaveIn90Days
Dr El-Sayed: “What would we do if we treated all our kids like they were all of our kids?" The *new* normal: compassion and justice #BlueWaveIn90Days #MsRachel Now THAT’S a platform a majority of the folks on the 🌏 can stand with
Christina Bohannan lost by 800 votes last time. 800. Meanwhile her dad’s own insurance company canceled him the moment he got sick, and Washington shrugged. This time we close that gap, we flip IA-01, and we do it for every family insurance companies threw away. #BlueWaveIn90Days #USDemocracy
Roy Cooper said it and he’s right: we need Senators who actually remember young people exist. Rising rent, brutal job hunts, and half of Washington’s still stuck in 1995. We fix that by voting like hell in 90 days. #BlueWaveIn90Days
Let's make sure that lying Mike Johnson is out of a job in 90 days! Hold Trump and the GOP accountable for corruption ICE violence Iran War gas prices inflation healthcare cuts billionaire tax breaks Trump's crypto Trump's grifts Vote Blue Not Matter Who. #BlueWaveIn90Days
I’m so sick of this shit! Trump has no clue. You can’t fix something you don’t even realize is broken. And Republicans are still carrying Trump’s water. #BlueWaveIn90Days
@ossoff.bsky.social is the only Dem Senator up for reelection in a state Trump won in 2024. MAGA is spending millions to defeat him—and will drop hundreds of millions more by Election Day. Chip in at electjon.com to protect this seat! #BlueWaveIn90Days
Josh Turek wants something better for Iowans — he’s the Dem running to flip the Senate. Just an amazing human being! He wants to lower costs, raise wages, restore Roe,protect workers, SS & Medicare, reproductive healthcare and will fight for farmers and education. More of this 🙏🏼 #BlueWaveIn90Days

A disappointing decision. A federal judge reluctantly dismissed the remaining criminal charges against eight Oath Keepers charged with seditious conspiracy in the Jan. 6 attack after the Justice Department requested the case be thrown out.
support politicians like talerico to stop the corruption of those like trump and paxton
@jamestalarico.bsky.social for Texas US Senate gets it - under his opponent Ken Paxton and Gov. Abbott, data centers are running amok in TX. Talarico has a sensible plan to regulate data centers. Texas, he is the right choice for your next senator, not the corrupt, 15 home owning Paxton.
SHOUT OUT to Mike Luckovich: one of the all-time great political cartoonists. 🏆 With corporate media doing such a poor job in these most perilous of times, his work is more vital than ever! THANK YOU @mluckovich.bsky.social!!! 🙏
Right, I’m not overly picky. Just be a decent human being instead of a selfish narcissistic pedophile.
I express the same political philosophy with people on social media and in my personal life Thank you @abdulelsayed.bsky.social for deciding to run for U.S. Senate for the state of Michigan #VoteBlue 🗳🔵🗽 I connect with your words which were ingrained into me growing up 🙂 BTW, I'm also Jewish ✡️

Instead of meeting with Epstein survivors, what did Todd Blanche do? He rushed to Ghislaine Maxwell’s prison cell, and then she got transferred to a cushier prison camp. This is not justice. It is corruption of a system meant to protect the most vulnerable.
BREAKING: The New Mexico Department of Justice has sued Acting AG Todd Blanche and the DOJ, requesting the court for access to unredacted Epstein-related investigative files that the DOJ has been withholding.
