I just phoned Alan Garber, the president of Harvard University and left a message with his staff requesting that he address the allegations from the Crimson concerning Larry Summers. I provided my name, year of law school graduation, and expressed concern for the students in his classes.

Increase in productivity since 1979: 87%

Increase in hourly pay since 1979: 32%

Just so happens that ~25% of workers were unionized in 1979. Today? 10%.

As unions declined, the super-rich have taken a larger share of wealth generated by labor. We must build back union power.

This is the food distribution line at Nellis Air Force Base in Las Vegas 11/7/25. This is what Trump doesn't want you to see.

This is Adelita Grijalva. She was elected 43 days ago.

Republicans still refuse to swear her in because she is the final vote needed to release the Epstein Files.

An estimated 15.7 million workers use SNAP. It’s a lifeline for those in low-wage jobs.

Meanwhile, CEOs are paid 280x as much as the typical worker.

Don’t be angry at workers for using food stamps.

Be angry at the corporations paying them so little that they need them.

Donald Trump’s trade nominee won’t even say the word β€œArgentina.”

Why? Maybe because Trump doesn't want you to know that he dug up billions of dollars to give to Argentina while Argentina is working with China to undercut American farmers.

There is NOOOOO difference between the way Bashar Al Assad and Putin treat prisoners

and the way Israel treats prisoners.

NONE. ZERO.

Israel is NOT any flavor of a democracy, and shares no resemblance to countries we consider our global colleagues.

I have been charged in a federal indictment sought by the Department of Justice.

This political prosecution is an attack on all of our First Amendment rights. I’m not backing down, and we’re going to win.

Big Pharma Can Tweak Drugs to Keep Generics Off the Market Taking advantage of a broken patent system, Big Pharma is making minor tweaks to medications just to keep affordable generics off the market, a new report suggests. They’ve made billions of dollars in...

Big Pharma jacked up prices on 575 drugs in the first two fucking days of 2025 β€” then spent $227 million lobbying the government to protect their profits. While Americans skip doses and go broke, they’re buying silence in Washington.

A tweet from Robert Reich states:

The third richest man owns Facebook, Instagram, and WhatsApp.

This dark time should wake us up to the bankruptcy of the corporate Democratic Party. It should mark the birth of the people’s Democratic Party. Zohran Mamdani and others like him are its future. Some thoughts...

A whole bunch of Americans died in a field in PA trying to stop Osama Bin Laden’s cronies from destroying the WH.

That asshole just destroyed the WH for him.

The terrorists must be so pleased.

TACO accomplished what Al Qaeda could not,

while all the mouth breathing β€œpatriots” let him do it.

This (moderate) level of racial competency is VERY rare for someone of this demo; white folks should’ve been listening to and learning from people like this for decades.

Sadly, it’s too late to dismantle racism, now. Racism has won.
White America chose it instead of a hyper-qualified Black Woman. πŸ™

If a temporary resident of the White House can totally demolish the East Wing to build a gaudy ballroom, without any authority, approval, or regulation, he can tear down the rest of the White House to build a Walmart. That this destruction is allowed underscores how off the rails our country is now.

In initiating this contact, Ms. Halliganβ€”the lead prosecutor on this case as of the date of
this filingβ€”commented on the credibility and general strength of the evidence presented to the
grand jury. She also commented, more generally, on the purported strength of the case she was
bringing, complained about the New York Times’ coverage of a certain witness’s grand jury
testimony, and stated the article did not convey a β€œfull representation” of what took place before
the grand jury. These extrajudicial statements and prejudicial disclosures by any prosecutor, let
alone one purporting to be the U.S. Attorney, run afoul of and violate the Federal Rules of Criminal
Procedure, the Code of Federal Regulations, this Court’s Local Rules, various rules of ethical and
professional responsibility, and DOJ’s Justice Manual.

Why hasn't a lawsuit been filed requesting (at least) a TRO against the contractor who is demolishing the East Wing? They are committing a felony by destroying government property and should at a minimum be required to cease and desist and to appear in court with supporting documents.

I for one think the Epstein Ballroom will be magnificent. I love the decor theme of β€œwhat if Uday Hussein ran a Ramada Inn.” And giving it a theme song everyone will associate with it is a stroke of brilliance! β€œThank Heaven for Little Girls” is very catchy.
