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?

I'd love to credit whoever wrote this. No idea. But I'm 100% with its message. When I think of how the '80s ethos, "Greed is Good" has metastasized, it surprises and depresses me. Imagine having so many millions, hundred of millions, even billions & caring about nothing except your own vanity.

“Gustavo” is harvesting mangoes in Coachella, CA. “This is very hard work. We start before dawn, but temps are already near 100° while we’re working. It’s physical labor, and it’s hard to do in this kind of heat.” Today’s high in Coachella is forecast to reach 109°. #WeFeedYou

We proved it in Wisconsin. We proved it in New York City. We proved it in dozens of special elections over the past year. People power over money!

Abdul El-Sayed was outspent 9-to-1 by AIPAC and corporate Super PACs in the most expensive Senate Democratic primary of all time. Last night, he proved that organized people can beat organized money.

New experiments identify a receptor that helps regenerate the brain’s white matter after #stroke—and reveal that activating this receptor enhances cognitive and motor recovery in mice by stimulating “clean up” cells called microglia. #ScienceSignaling https://scim.ag/456KI3v

Adenosine 2A receptor drives microglial efferocytosis to accelerate white matter repair and functional recovery after stroke

Stimulating the efferocytosis of cellular and myelin debris by microglia after stroke promotes remyelination.

CEOs are raking in $17 million a year, 300 times what their own workers make, and John Husted’s answer is “learn to budget.” Sherrod Brown wrote the law that got over 100,000 Ohioans their stolen pensions back. Vote for who fights for you, not who lectures you. #BlueWaveIn90Days

Sanders: The irony is that the proper criticism of communism is that the Soviet Union was an authoritarian society.  And then you’ve got the most authoritarian president in the history of this country. So I suppose when he says, “I’d be a great communist,” yeah, I think there’s some truth to that

Another GOP incumbent not seeking re-election. They’re all panicking about the midterms.

One year from now, I don’t want to hear members of Congress acting shocked about the damage Todd Blanche does as the United States Attorney General. They know exactly what they’re voting for, and they had a chance to stop it. Consider them complicit because that’s what they are

The blockage of the Strait of Hormuz has rattled global energy markets, but for Connecticut based Dorian LPG, a company who rents container ships by the day, it’s been a historical quarter. Revenue more than doubled to $187.9M, up from $84.2M

Mom didn’t let me, WTF….

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.

He never stops making up lies.

On one hand, it's a good thing CBS finally told the truth. On the other hand, CBS can still go fuck themselves. Bullshit artist Bari Weiss and the Ellison family, even with all their money, can't buy back credibility. And smart Americans will never forgive them for what they did to Stephen Colbert.

UPDATE: CBS News reverses course, airs story on 9/11 families supporting Mamdani

Last week, CBS News New York falsely reported that “thousands of 9/11 victims’ families are asking New York City Mayor Zohran Mamdani not to attend this year’s solemn remembrance ceremony.” The articl...

www.samsung-news.com/articles/32K... Everyone and their brothers and sisters know it to be true. And this is another reason we cannot trust our own government to follow thru with anything. Just like investigating Epstien.

RFK Jr's CDC reportedly scaled back foodborne disease tracking last year, removing cyclospora from mandatory reporting. The CDC also lost roughly 3,000 employees since 2025. Now a cyclosporiasis outbreak has killed 2 and sickened thousands across 45 states. "Make America Healthy Again."

A new humiliation. ICE is calling in Haitian immigrants in Ohio only to shackle them with ankle monitors that require constant, degrading charging routines. As leader Vilès Dorsainvil warns, treating legal, hard-working residents like criminals isn't policy—it's pure human degradation! 🎥HaitianTimes

It really seems that his objective is to destroy our country.

61 years after the Voting Rights Act became law, Texans are still fighting to be counted at the ballot box. Yesterday, the voice of the people was so loud that the Tarrant County Commissioners Court had no choice but to table their attempt to cut polling locations before the midterm election.

Nobody should ever endure the nightmare Joke went through. Her abusive ex forced 250 tattoos across her body, but she’s reclaiming her life with free laser removal from Spijt van Tattoo. A powerful step toward healing from severe domestic abuse! 🎥AFP/BBC

El-Sayed: "Once a government agency like ICE is told it has impunity to do the worst things and violate the highest law of the land, which is the Constitution itself, I don't think you can reform or retrain. I think we need to start from scratch ... I think we need to abolish it."

Phang: "Capital One said, 'We don't want the business anymore of the 45th president of the United States, his businesses, his failed sons, and his revocable trust.' So you can imagine -- I am just hypothesizing... but it suggests whatever Capital One uncovered was pretty bad. Makes you wonder..."
