TEXAS — @jamestalarico.bsky.social : “Why do we have a trillionaire when veterans are sleeping on the streets? The reason poverty exists is not because we can’t feed the poor, it’s because we can’t satisfy the rich.” (From @teamtalaricohq.bsky.social )
Why have so many people fallen behind? It's not because of immigrants, trans people, or any other bogeyman trotted out by the GOP. It's because corporations and billionaires rigged the system in their favor — and a bought-off political establishment let it happen. It's time to fix the system.
The Memphis City Council failed the people in delaying the data center moratorium vote. But we are not deterred. The fight for clean air continues. Big money has no place in politics. I’m running for Congress to level the playing field & stop toxic data centers nationwide. Votejustinj.com

The nation’s largest food distributor, Sysco, is buying Restaurant Depot—a deal that could drive up costs for restaurant owners and, ultimately, consumers. I’m calling on the FTC and DOJ to put a pause on this merger and protect independent restaurant owners and the communities they serve.

My favorite thing about the Kimberly Guilfoyle donor texts scandal is that it has to be humiliating for her that it’s now public. And it’s got to sting to know that it must have been Eric Deters who leaked her messages instructing him to help her commit tax fraud and cover up the scheme.

Wall Street profits and bonuses are poised to hit a record high. CEO pay is up. Corporate profits are skyrocketing. U.S. billionaire wealth is up 30% in a year. Meanwhile, inflation eats up the paychecks of working people as the social safety net is cut out from underneath them. Trumponomics.

“Elite human being” It really doesn’t get more Nazi than this
Aaron Rupar@atrupar.com · 4d agoQ: You mentioned you want people like Elon Musk to come here, but he didn't build his companies overnight. So how do you decide who is the next Elon Musk? VANCE: One, does the person fill a position that simply cannot be filled by an American worker? Two, is this person a truly elite human being?
The President of the United States should not be allowed to auction off access to himself to the biggest buyers of his crypto coin. It’s corruption, plain and simple. Any crypto legislation Congress passes must prohibit Trump from lining his pockets off the industry.
The MAGA regime recently killed the largest ancient 250 year old “Grandmother” Cottonwood tree in Arizona’s indigenous territory just to expand the orange felon’s fucking wall. I’ll never forgive anyone who chose this evil.
25 years ago today, the U.S. launched its war in Afghanistan. Weeks earlier, Barbara Lee was the only member of Congress to vote against the 2001 Authorization of Military Force, warning it would be a blank check for forever wars. History has proven her lonely and courageous vote right.
There is a suspected outbreak of the plague in Russia. Yes, you read that right. And we cannot trust RFK Jr. and the Trump administration to be prepared to deal with this. We need a Democratic public health doctor in the US Senate.
