Hey Siri, who was in power when unemployment was last this horrifically high? … The same people? But I thought they were good at the economy?

BP announced more bumper profits. Oxfam's latest analysis finds that emissions from just five fossil fuel corporations were enough to contribute to around 1 in 4 heatwaves between 2000 and 2023. It’s time to #MakeRichPollutersPay! www.oxfam.org/en/press-rel...

Susan Collins announcing she'll vote against a controversial nominee is basically the moment it becomes clear that nominee will be confirmed. It means Thune has enough votes to confirm, and thus, Collins gets a pass to look independent.

“There is at least one important section of society where little shittery is rampant, destructive and harmful to the environment of the workplace. It’s actively impeding the ability of well-behaved people to perform well & limiting productivity. I’m talking, of course, about parliament.” No notes🙌

📌Susan Collins is voting "no" on the repulsive Blanche because she has been given political cover by Thune. Her vote doesn't matter. This isn't a heroic decision, it is pure politics, and whether anybody wants to admit it or not it's how she has survived like a parasite in that chamber for 30 years.
"For Kushner, none of this appears to matter. He and his partners are traveling the world, gleefully raking in cash as they cultivate relationships with sordid regimes and kleptocratic leaders in the interest of making a buck. The world burns and Jared Kushner gets richer."

The Trump Administration is sending billions to Amazon, Apple, Walmart, and other big corporations to refund them for Trump’s tariffs. American households were estimated to lose over $1,000 to tariff price hikes. Here's an idea: refund working families before big business.

When people die and the media says they had “pre-existing conditions”… they’re pacifying the public. Anyone could die from Cyclosporiasis, but they want you to believe it can’t happen to you. It can only happen to the weak, the disabled, the elderly. The expendable people. Eugenics.
Two Deaths Linked to Cyclospora Outbreak in Michigan
The patients had “significant underlying health conditions” that may have contributed to their deaths, health officials said.
