All that production work and it still looks like a Hallmark Channel film about a cowgirl who was stung to death by bees.

As @rbreich.bsky.social notes billionaires and their families own X, Paramount, CBS, Facebook, Instagram, WhatsApp, the Washington Post, Amazon, MGM, Fox News, the Wall Street Journal and New York Post, and could soon own Warner Bros and CNN

And they are all Trump supporters

"Liberal media" indeed

We don't have poverty because we lack resources. We have poverty because the morbidly rich cannot be satiated.

Ask him these same questions, every day, for the rest of his miserable life.

Breaking….

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.

Mark Wolf

Mark Wolf, a federal judge appointed by Reagan, is resigning after 40 years on the bench.

In an essay published by The Atlantic this week, he wrote, “The White House’s assault on the rule of law is so deeply disturbing to me that I feel compelled to speak out. Silence, for me, is now intolerable.”

Great idea!!

The America First guy has brought in 566 foreign workers during his 5 years in office to work at his companies instead of hiring Americans. And counting.

Reminder that Starbucks’ CEO made 6,666x more than the company's median employee in 2024.

This was the widest CEO-to-Worker pay gap in the entire S&P 500.

And we're supposed to believe Starbucks can't afford to bargain a fair contract with its unionized workers?

Priorities.

If the FDA wants to fix the problem then make prescription drugs available affordable regardless of condition or affliction. At least make them available at costs on par with what developed nations are paying.

Cheaper medicines, free beach trips: U.S. health plans tap prescriptions that feds say are illegal AFPs promise to connect patients with more-affordable options for accessing specialty medications that often come at very high costs. There's a major catch.

It’s frustrating what this video from CNBC barely touches on and hardly addresses. The US prescription drug industry is unaffordable and uncompetitive with the rest of the developed world prescription drug markets. www.cnbc.com/2025/11/13/e...

Trump’s first nominee for Attorney General of the United States

Right??? There needs to be a “this is bullshit” button.

I can’t bring myself to mash the like button as I don’t like it.
It sounds to me like malpractice.

A troubling video circulating on X has put a California dentist, Dr. Harleen Grewal, who runs her practice in Santa Clarita under fire after she openly bragged about giving inferior care to patients who aren’t Trump supporters. belib.org/MAGA-dentist

in Paris, I had to see a same-day doctor & I found one. was gravely warned that, as a foreigner, I’d have to pay 32 euros & I laughed & laughed

a friend there said “make sure you get X kind of doctor, not Y, because the Y kind charges 74 WHOLE EUROS” & once again I bitterly, bitterly laughed 😭

Daily Reminder: Social Security is OUR money!

McGovern: Seriously, we were worried. We actually started handing out missing person posters. Nobody has seen you for eight weeks. But, hey, I'm glad that you are ok. I'm glad you survived your nice, two-month paid vacation

I'm adding a list of states with the status of their primaries. Please check that your state allows independents to vote without party affiliation.

Also, one last note: you don't "fix" the party by walking away from it. You lean in harder, and elect better candidates in the primaries.

Control via authoritarianism. The design was started in 1973 by The Heritage Foundation. They played a long, slow game but we as citizens just didn’t see it coming.

Projects 1981, 1985, 1989, 1993 > 2025 were all known by every power broker in the DC Beltway. They sold us out.

Good morning from @altyellonatpark.org

Everyone wants to know why the hell Jackson would uphold the DOJ’s request to withhold SNAP benefits, here’s one possible reason:

Supreme Court issues emergency order to block full SNAP food aid payments The Supreme Court has granted the Trump administration’s emergency appeal to temporarily block a court order to fully fund SNAP food aid payments amid the government shutdown.

It’s important to note this was a procedural action, not a ruling on the merits of the underlying case. Justice Jackson wasn’t siding with the Trump administration; she was making sure the legal process unfolded correctly and fairly.
