The Odyssey cost $250 million to make. Guess who got a tax break worth more than 30x that last year? Amazon—after firing 30,000 workers.
America didn’t just lose a World Cup match. We lost credibility. A President personally intervened with FIFA over a disciplinary decision and created the appearance that political power could influence the rules of the game. The reputational cost was far greater than the sporting cost.
As the former President of South Korea serves a life sentence for his role in a failed insurrection, his wife just got sentenced to 7 years in prison for bribery. The US could learn a lot from South Korea what accountability looks like for power-hungry, corrupt grifters. youtu.be/nAUksLhLSKs?...

The modern Republican Party, folks. They are definitely not OK in Oklahoma.
94% of teachers have to dip into their own pockets to buy school supplies. 85% of teachers are working second jobs during the school year, often just to keep up with the cost of living. Meanwhile, the average Wall Street employee got a bonus of $246,900 in 2025. Something has gone terribly wrong.

I guess a bunch of U.S. airlines are boo-hoo'ing about fuel costs and are requesting a government bailout. Well, where's my bailout for all the expensive grocery bills and higher power costs? Pony up.
This is Jemma and Bean. Jemma likes to eat her cheese snacks. Bean prefers to eliminate hers. 13/10 for both (TT: bjkuhn)
I don’t think we talk nearly enough about the fact that corporations like Amazon, don’t pay a single cent to maintain the roads they use, the transportation system they use, the courts they use, they pay nothing for the infrastructure that is absolutely critical to their business. WE Pay for
Congrats on “opening” a strait that was open six weeks ago, and all it cost was at least 13 dead service members, thousands of dead Iranian civilians, tens of billions in taxpayer dollars, our loss in global standing, and the Iranian regime’s increase in power. Phenomenal work.
An Easter message from the president which should really force the VP and the cabinet to invoke the 25th Amendment.

Key Military Funeral Etiquette: 1) Remove hats immediately upon the start of the ceremony, during the playing of taps, or as the casket passes. 2) Hold the hat in your right hand over your left shoulder, or simply hold it over your heart. Or you could opt to just be a disrespectful asshole.
DHS nominee Markwayne Mullin is one of the most active stock-traders in the Senate — and violated the STOCK Act against insider trading as recently as last August. He currently holds stock in L3Harris, which has millions in contracts with ICE and FEMA. The grift continues.
Just a random reminder that over 50 members of Congress collectively own millions of dollars in defense contractor stocks. They stand to personally profit from wars that enrich these contractors. Make no mistake, this is legalized corruption. Watch how they vote this week.
Just saying, but when people are trying to do everything they can to prevent you from voting, that’s when you absolutely need to vote. Ready to make this the biggest midterm turnout in history?
She was absolutely right. And she would have been an amazing President.
From Google: Based on Elon Musk's estimated net worth of over $600 billion to $700 billion in late 2025, a $10 million donation represents a microscopic fraction of his total wealth—roughly 0.0014% to 0.0016%.
