We can (and should) create spaces where legitimate journalism thrives โ€”but if weโ€™re really gonna fix things, we have to figure out how to help every single American realize that major news outlets are actively whitewashing and lying to them or we need to shut those sources of disinformation down.

America's deepening affordability crisis summed up in 5 charts Although inflation has eased, many Americans say they still feel squeezed financially. Here are five areas where households are feeling the pinch.

According to all the reports, Americans spent big on Black Friday, smashing all the records. Yet, the prices of everyday goods have sharply increased and according to recent polls, most people seems to be struggling financially.

Iโ€™m thrilled to see Small Business Saturday trending! I hope we all ignored greedy corporations on Black Friday this year.

Buy small. Buy local.

A handsome grey-striped tabby is snuggled lazily against a pillow. A fuzzy and soft looking blanket is pulled over him, slightly covering his face. He looks like heโ€™s had a very satisfying day.

The holidays are hitting differently this year. Amid all the stress and chaos, many people are struggling financially. Donโ€™t forget to check in on each other! If you can, make a few extra desserts to share or invite few lonely people over for dinner.

We may be getting the Epstein Files in December, but theyโ€™re still hiding the Jobs Report, the Inflation Report, and the GDP Report.

I'm an old vet '68, I went to Germany;some friends went to Nam;I visit them every time I go to DC.I visit the Memorial Wall. I wonder why them,not me; and wonder what they would think about the USA today and the oath we took.The vets today need to ask ;is their oath to our Constitution or to a king?

For me, itโ€™s not enough to simply release the Epstein files. Iโ€™m not happy until every single predator is in jail and facing public outrage.

But itโ€™s a start.

I think the regime knows that their attempts to prosecute innocent people in federal court arenโ€™t working. So, Hegsethโ€™s hoping his military court can be stacked in his favor if he simply fires or threatens enough people.

DOGE has been dead for a long time. They destroyed what they were after, enriched themselves, and split months ago.

Your question: โ€œWhy bother with this? We can just boycott them entirely.โ€

My answer: Why not do BOTH?

In an attempt to completely overwhelm us, our Democracy is hit from all sides EVERY SINGLE DAY. We need to crank our resistance up to 1000 if weโ€™re gonna win this.

I caught myself thinking about how I really want an ice cream maker. I was having a complex internal debate over which one I liked more.

My god. It finally happened. Iโ€™ve embraced my 30โ€™s. Whatโ€™s next? Mumbling โ€œwe needed thatโ€ after a good rain? Obsession with power tools?? ๐Ÿซ

Itโ€™s possible that the favorable tone of the Trump/Mamdani meeting was orchestrated for sinister reasons. Perhaps it was simply a runaway moment, impacted by dementia.

Maybe Trump noticed that nearly every politician he endorses fails spectacularly and heโ€™s trying out a new strategy.

Five corporations control 90% of the US media market.

Airlines merged from 12 major carriers in 1980 to 4 today.

Four giants control 80% of meat processing.

A handful of companies control the pharmaceutical industry.

The evidence of corporate concentration is everywhere.
