COLBERT, on Paramount’s $108 billion bid for Warner:

“.. Wow. .. If my company's got that kind of green, I'm sure they can afford to un-cancel one of their best shows.”

"One of the most staggering things is that the Roberts Court has ruled for President Trump 90 percent of the time in shadow docket cases. Lower courts keep restraining the president but the Supreme Court is repeatedly saying that the president and his party are above the law"

The bottom 90% lost a collective $79 trillion in wages over the past 50 years.

Why? Because the top 1% ate up an increasingly larger share of the national income — so that $79 trillion flowed to them instead of the working class.

The greatest trick of all is trickle-down economics.

The Trump Administration is gutting America’s science engine, wiping out thousands of grants in cancer, aging, engineering and more. Our district’s world-class researchers feel these cuts every single day.

Slava Ukraini

93 years ago, Stalin instituted a man-made famine in Ukraine to break its resistance to Soviet occupation, killing millions. Now, Putin’s war and weaponization of hunger once again threaten Ukrainians' survival. We honor the victims of Stalin's famine by supporting Ukraine today.

Despite temporary test score gains, Jiee finds that “third grade retention significantly reduces annual earnings at age 26 by $3,477 (19%)” — driven by increased absenteeism, violent behavior, and juvenile crime, and reduced likelihood of H.S. graduation.

Super important findings for policymakers!

NEW: Epstein survivors release the most powerful PSA I have ever seen.

Make this go viral so every member of the House of Representatives sees it.

Sixty-five years ago today, four first-graders desegregated New Orleans's public schools: Ruby Bridges at William Frantz Elementary School, and Leona Tate, Tessie Provost, and Gail Etienne at McDonogh 19 Elementary School. They faced violent mobs and threats to their lives. They were 6 years old. 🗃

The Trump administration is pushing to strip language from a resolution that affirms the country’s territorial integrity and condemns Russia’s occupation of Crimea and other regions, according to two people familiar with internal UN discussions.

The richest man on earth owns X.

The second richest man on earth is about to acquire TikTok and his family could soon own both Paramount and Warner Bros.

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

The fourth richest man owns The Washington Post.

See the problem here?

The nest time you see a story about the kid who got over 1500 on the SAT and got rejected from their dream school remember this: ~40,000 people break 1500 on the SAT each year, and they're all applying to a lot of schools.

John Roberts and his miserable excuse for a high court of justice are presiding over a great disassembling of the United States and the rare American experiment in government by its people. It began with Citizens United and it continues relentlessly. This is a second civil war in slow motion.

This is amazing!!

I hadn't seen this when it was announced. The Department of Agriculture has conducted this survey on food insecurity for 30 years. No more. So miserable. www.reuters.com/world/us/tru...

Screenshot of a post by Bernie Sanders. It lists money that Donald Trump has received in 2025. $3 billion: mostly from crypto $940 million: law firms $400 million plane: Qatar $36 million: CBS $25 million: Meta $24 million: YouTube $16 million: ABC $10 million: X Now $230 million from DOJ?

That we know of.

Trump Administration Asks Colleges to Sign ‘Compact’ to Get Funding Preference Demands sent to nine top schools included pledging to freeze tuition for five years and to commit to strict definitions of gender.

Breaking News: The White House asked nine top universities to pledge support for President Trump’s agenda to help ensure access to research funding.

Trump's higher ed ransom note is here - everyone would have to acquiesce to their unprecedented demands or not be "given priority for grants," plus they can demand "reimbursement" for "violations" www.wsj.com/us-news/educ...

A mechanism to enforce fealty. An attack on academic freedom and democracy

I feel for his family and the folks on the small campus police force. Also, there was another school shooting today in Colorado.

I did not expect this. I had hoped he'd fade into obscurity, not this.

Please tell me this is a joke.
